Hi Sunny, a while back I spent a few hours looking at many different B complex supplements as I was also trying to find one with minimal B6. The one that had the lowest B6 component was Nature Made, here is the Amazon link: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B008PQDCG0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Another one by 1Body has just 5 mg. Here is that link: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QVKB66S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
A third one called igennus has just 20 mg (still way to much, but less than 50 mg) and has well sourced other components: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01787EPEE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I am not 100% sure what level of quality these all are. I have purchased all of them, 2 of which are so far unopened. Linda was not that impressed with any and so far I have not found any she is completely happy with. She used to take Integrative Therapeutics Active B-complex, which has great sources and bioavailability for all components, but it had 50 mg B6 so she quit taking that (I still do take that myself).
This has been and still is, a thorny problem to find the right B complex for her. If you come across anything good with LOW B6 please drop me a note. Best, Hank

Hello Hank and thank you for your good information as always. I would not take the 50 mg of B6 if I were you. The recommended daily requirement is only 2 mg at the most. I have been off the B6 for a week and last night had severe tetany from 11 p.m. until 11 a.m. this morning. I could find no relief. I finally went to bed at 8 this morning and slightly dozed but was fully aware that I was trying to stretch out contractions as they just would not quit. So many of these involve the big thigh muscles including inner thigh muscles (abductors) and tops of my feet and shins. I do not get them in the arches of my feet or my calves like most people do. And sometimes get them in my fingers at the same time and of course my toes. It was brutal and I have had almost no sleep. This happens far too often so it is clearly coming from another cause besides the B6 toxicity. Ugh! Onward and forward! Sunny

Hi Hank, thx so much! I spoke with my Endocrinologist to see how much B6 I should have and spoke with someone at the Vitamin Shop who gave me names of two equivalent multuvite/mineral but wit much less B6. They are: Plnt Fermented Whole Food Women's Multivitamin which has 2mg. of B6 per serving and The Perfect Women's Multivitamin (gummies) which has 1.75mg. of B6. They said to stay away from "Active" or "High Energy" bc they will have more B6; too much! Here's hoping! Warmest wishes for a blessed Thanksgiving with Linda and family! Sunnyflower
