My B6 blood test came back at 131 which is extreme toxicity, and I have hypothyroid. Does anyone know what works to remove B6 from the body fast besides anti inflammatory foods? I'm a female and I've lost my hair.

Hello @channelcat33 - I would like to add my welcome to Connect along with @athenalee and other members. If you are taking any daily vitamins you might want to check them as a source of too much B6. You can find more information on B6 here:
Vitamin B6 - Health Professional Fact Sheet: https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminB6-HealthProfessional/
Here's some more information - "Jan 15, 2021 — Can vitamin B6 be harmful? People almost never get too much vitamin B6 from food or beverages. But taking high levels of vitamin B6 from supplements for a year or longer can cause severe nerve damage, leading people to lose control of their bodily movements." -- Vitamin B6 - Consumer - Office of Dietary Supplements - NIH: https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminB6-Consumer/
Did your doctor have any suggestions to help you lower the B6 levels?

Lots and lots of water. It’s a water soluble vitamin, so flushed out with water. You might also try goldenseal.
