@bb0753, my B6 levels remain high despite assurances from two neurologists' offices I've nothing to be concerned about. Two lab tests, two months apart, both showed high: 114.1 on 10/18 and 72.6 on 12/28. The top of the normal range is 65.2. The lowering by 41.5 in two months was attributed to being advised to halve my daily intake of EB-N5, the medicinal food containing, among other nutrients, B6––but the strain of B6 that (I'd told) does not lead to toxicity (pyridoxal phosphate), unlike the strain that does (pyridoxine hydrochloride). No one has yet stopped me from also taking a daily multivitamin and a B-Complex tab, both of which contain the "bad" strain of B6. I'd like to know how much of my present B6 overload is the "good" B6 and how much is the "bad"? Although I've asked, no one so far has been able to tell me. I've another meeting with one of my neurologists in two weeks and I'm going to ask again, a bit more insistent this time. –Ray (@ray666)

Continuing from my previous post: I see from two supplements (that I've been taking for years, Complete Multivitamin and B-Complex I'm receiving 647% of my B6 RDA. Add to that now my EB-N5, which adds 70 mg per cap to my daily B6 onboarding loading, no wonder my B6 level remains high. This returns me to my earlier question: How much of that high level of B6 is due to pyridoxine hydrochloride (the bad kind), and how much to pyridoxal phosphate (the good kind)? That's the question to which I badly want an answer. –Ray )@ray666)

Yes Ray this b6 thing is quite frustrating. Hope you get answers. I find various articles about b6 toxicity. If it were me I wouldn't take anything with the bad b6 as you mentioned are in the multivitamin . I'm not sure about the p5p.
