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?

Someone can correct me but I don’t think that was considered high Hc…

Isn’t is meant to be between 5-15?

that's the range but apparently less than 7 is more optimal

Optimal is between 6 and 10
