   Simple solution:  Go to a farm supply store or a vet supply place and   
   buy the vitamins in a sterile bottle for injection. Get a few syringes,   
   then administer the shots to yourself.  It's exactly the same substance,   
   and you'll do fine as long as you can read and figure the proper dose.   
      
   You are a genius, but even common folks can do it.
