I have found exactly one multivitamin without B6, and would love to learn of others. It's Desert Harvest: https://desertharvest.com/products/multi-vitamin-low-acid-90-capsules. (Although you can find it on Amazon, it comes with a high delivery cost.) I've been taking it for a while, and will see what my next round of blood test shows. I have not found an objective, independent review of the product, nor any evidence one way or another that what's in the bottle is what's on the label, which is, of course, true of almost all supplements. Not a fan of anything that combines calcium and iron, since doing this lessens their absorption, but since I take those supplements independently, it doesn't matter to me. Be aware that whatever capsule material they use occasionally tears in the bottle -- usually only one or two capsules, but it does mean that it's worth looking closely for the torn capsules to discard them.

Our conversation motivated me to get in touch with the Desert Harvest people (my prior post), and they promptly responded:

I do apologize that you have received bottles with broken capsules. This is usually due to rough shipping and handling. We do have quality control that checks to make sure none of the capsules are broken before they are bottled.
