A Word of Caution With B12 Added API- a PSA
As I've been working on my tirz ingredients project, I've noticed a few formulas have very high amounts of B12 (more than the amount commonly used to treat a deficiency), which could potentially be a problem for people already getting adequate amounts through diet or if taking B supplements.
B vitamins are water-soluble and B12 in particular does not have a tolerable upper intake level because it is generally considered to be safe, even at high doses. However, that doesn't mean side effects don't occur, especially at high doses.
I've also seen an increase of people posting here getting B12 or B6 levels checked and being super high; their doctor telling them to avoid extra.
There's a common misconception that because vitamins occur naturally in foods, there's no difference with injectable forms, and that's just not true.
Vitamin B12 is rapidly absorbed after subcutaneous & intramuscular injection; peak plasma concentrations are reached within 1 hour and the bioavailability is assumed to be 100%. In contrast, absorption rates of oral B12 in supplements are about 50% at doses (less than 1–2 mcg) and only about 2% at doses of 500 mcg and 1.3% at doses of 1,000 mcg.
For example, a common maintenance dose of injectable cyanocobalamin to treat B12 deficiency is 1000 mcg (1 mg) weekly.
The highest concentration of cyano B12 I've found so far in tirz is 5 mg/mL in 17 mg/mL of tirz followed by the second highest concentration of 6.25 mg/mL in 25 mg/mL of tirz.
For someone taking 15 mg of tirz, they would be getting 4,400 mcg B12 weekly from the first formula and 3,750 mcg B12 weekly from the second formula. That's roughly 4x the amount used to treat deficiency PLUS whatever additional B12 from the diet and other supplements!!
There are a couple of other formulas that have lower concentrations of B12 (right at or just above 1000 mcg weekly), which may or may not be a problem depending on how much other B12 someone is getting. Also, it can be easy to get a higher B12 dose if the tirz concentration is lower and someone is taking a higher dose (for example 5 mg/mL tirz + 2 mg/mL B12. If someone took 15 mg of this tirz formula for some reason, they would be getting 6 mg of B12, 6x the deficiency treatment amount!!!)
B12 is a common and cheap blood test that can be done to actually check your level.
Basically the same for B6, although I haven't dug into that as much. There is a tolerable upper limit for B6, though, and side effects of getting too much.
So, just be aware of ALL of your vitamin sources (food, drinks, supplements, etc) and maybe get bloodwork to check your levels!!! Also, don't assume your side effects are from the tirz, it could also be the additional API.
Here's the link to the tirz ingredients chart:

I've converted both resources into a single spreadsheet, so it's not really in a format I can easily screenshot anymore because of the size. So, from now on, it will live in Google Drive.
Google Drive link to PDF: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cWKKqOc5oNqmsEojSvpBZf-ednhHyX7O/view?usp=sharing
I use the apple 'Numbers' spreadsheet app so I can't just convert it to Excel and post it because the formatting freaks out. That's why I convert it to a PDF...just FYI.
Kindly let me know if anything looks incorrect. I still have empty spaces to fill, but wanted to get this up since I've been able to add more info than ever! I will probably still add more info, such as who is compliant with the universal 28 day max usage per vial recommendation. Additional feedback is welcome as well as help to fill in the gaps! TIA

- What do you all think about this? I'm trying to compile the most pertinent info we care about most and just making it a little easier on the eyes.
- I'll include brief explanations of the major headings.
- Anything else that you would want to see 'at a glance' when comparing telehealth companies, such as 'lets you choose the pharmacy'? (other than pricing- that's just a step too far right now, lol, but maybe in the future). Keep in mind, to be the most helpful, it needs to be able to fit on a page.
- Of course, I'll likely start with a shorter list of just the telehealth companies that make it on the survey, and maybe the more well known ones, but can expand later.
Thank you!
**New update 5/3/26**:
*Please note that while 503a pharmacies are able to add ANY additional API to compounds (as they are filling patient-specific prescriptions), this may incur additional cost and the tele provider/prescriber may limit the choices available.*
TBH, I've been distracted this week, so I've paid zero attention to Reddit until today and haven't contacted any pharmacies. I'll continue to try to stay as up to date as possible as pharmacy and state availability announcements are made, and keeping the pdf on Google Drive updated in between any posts I make here.
Kindly let me know if anything looks incorrect.

This is a chart of ingredients used in the tirz compounds from popular pharmacies including those in our subs' Where to Buy megathread (pinned at top of the sub), and a few others that are discussed or were requested.
Please note, allergic reactions can be caused by any ingredient, but some tend to be more problematic than others. Also, over time, many people develop antibodies to tirz and this can be a factor as well.
All info came from user-uploaded pictures of vials on this sub, speaking with the pharmacists directly, or the telehealth providers.

All multi-dose injection tirzepatide (incl. Zep MDV & KwikPen) has some preservative(s) to help keep bacteria/microbes from growing in the medication. Single-dose Zep vials and autoinjectors remain preservative-free.

We’ve reached out to our pharmacy partners and have been told we have BPI inventory still on hand and will have for the foreseeable future!
Most of our members are seeing their orders ship within 2-days if not the same day.
You can view BPI (with a six-month shipped up front option), Apothecary, Hallandale and other pharmacy options below:
BPI - Compounded Tirzepatide with B6 (503b) - $185 p/m; $447 quarterly
- 1 month: $185

- Ships to all 50 states
- 180 mgs – 3 vials of (20mg/ml - 3ml vials)
- Price per mL on doses 13.5 and higher: $2.48 m/l
Some notes on BPI: If you notice the concentration difference between Hallandale and BPI, you will see BPI is higher. Based on your provider's recommendation, you may have to inject fewer units than with other concentrations. Always speak with your provider, but I just wanted to call this out since it is a new-to-us formulation. Your provider determines which option is appropriate for your prescription, and fulfillment may vary based on state and availability.

- 180 mgs – 3 vials of (15mg/ml - 4ml vials)
- Price per mL on doses 13.5 and higher: $2.48 ml
Some notes on Hallandale: The quarterly plan can come with all three vials, or only two vials, with a second vial being shipped depending on BUDs. Because this is a 503(a), they can only list 90 BUDs. Their formulary hasn’t changed since last year, when the BUDs were one year, but because of new regulations, they can only list 90 days on the vials.
What this means for you: If you order a quarterly plan, and you only receive TWO vials, you will receive a third one before the end of your treatment. You do not have to do anything additional; it will ship when their next batch of treatments is ready to go. Not all quarterlies will come with two vials, some will come with all three vials. It just depends on the pharmacy’s batch date and the date of your order. If 90-day BUDs are available at the time you order your quarterly plan, you will get all three. If the BUDs of the current batch do not reach the end of your medically necessitated treatment plan, Hallandale will ship your final vial before you reach the third month.
Apothecary Pharmacy Delays
If you placed an Apothecary order within the last 10 days, I wanted to share a quick update. Their fulfillment partner, Quaker Pharmacy, temporarily ran out of inventory, which created a delay on some pending shipments. They’ve let us know that shipping is expected to begin again on Wednesday, and those delayed orders should start moving out as inventory is restored.
I know delays like this are frustrating, especially when you’re trying to stay on schedule, and I really appreciate everyone’s patience while this gets sorted out. We’re staying close to the pharmacy on these orders and will keep pushing for clean, fast follow-through as they resume fulfillment.
Sync States Visits and Why Some Patients Get Their Orders Faster
Some patients are seeing delays and some are not because state telehealth rules are different, and that changes how quickly a provider can authorize treatment.
In some states, a provider has to complete a live synchronous visit before a prescription can be authorized. That adds an extra step and can slow things down compared with states where async intake or follow-up is allowed.
Here’s the breakdown:
Sync required for both intake and follow-ups:
DC, Louisiana, Mississippi, Puerto Rico
Sync required for intake only, but async follow-ups allowed:
Arkansas, Georgia, New Mexico, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, North Dakota
What that means in practice is that two patients can submit around the same time and still move at different speeds. If one patient is in a state where a live provider visit is required, their order may take longer than someone in a state where the provider can review and authorize asynchronously.
So when you see some orders moving faster than others, it’s not always a pharmacy issue or a queue issue. A lot of the time, it comes down to the rules in that patient’s state and whether a sync visit is required before the prescription can move forward.
I am working my way through the inbox every day, and if you haven’t heard back you will soon! With all of the pharmacy panic, my inbox for DMs is over 100 every morning but I am trying to get it down tonight!
Thank you guys!
Chloe
