    Best Test for B6?

    @Victronix Im curious too. Your blood test didn't seem out of range but you were feeling bad while on B6. The blood testing will make more sense to me if you feel bad on B6 and then when.you test the result is out of range and really high, no? @SJB944 you comment just leaves me with more...

    What Can I do to tolerate a B Complex? My body loves/hates it

    @Rooney thanks for the advice. So... at the moment I know: 1) I should try a sublingual 2) Without B6 or low B6 3)Plus probably folate and some other form of B12 on the Bcomplex. Or maybe just start with B5 for adrenal.support and forget about the other Bs until I can aford genes test.
