Some B's hang around for a few days. The muscles can store B6 for example. B12 is stored in the liver.

You can use your complex every other day and it will be fine.
Even every 3 rd day. That way any side effects will dilute out.

When a person is low in B12 the folate builds up in the body. And often these people test high in folate even though not taking much. This is called the folate trap, and involves a complex system of the methylation pathway.
Some people test high in B6 without taking any supplements, and this not understood. So there are many exceptions to the water soluble --quickly excreted Bcomplex!

Folic acid is also fortified now in many foods (pastas, bread, etc)
in the US.

400mcg is not a lot either, so don't worry.
