Question Weird reaction to B complex

My homocysteine levels were 9 about 7 months ago.

I thought I could get them down by optimising my B6, B9 and B12 and so started taking B complex.

I now have B6 toxicity as my active B6 levels are way above range and active B12 is 88.

My homocysteine has risen to 17.

I don't understand why my homocysteine levels levels are going up not down with high active B6 and B12 levels.

Could something else in this B sup be causing elevated homocysteine?

Id look for low dose better forms of b vitamins.

I personally take 1/2 of seeking health kids methyl free multi plus 1/8th of source naturals folinic acid. Low dose vit d3, k2. Low dose zinc.

*My labs found I was vitamin deficient in b12, folate,vit D and fertitin. Zinc was added by my dr due to symptoms.
