Just to clarify:

methylcobalamin supplements are 1mg (1000 micrograms) and 5mg (5,000 micrograms) per tablet.

I don't think B6 is tested for in the DNA testing. It is the B12 and folate that are part of the MTHFR results.

B6 is tested for in serum blood tests however.

Do stop all supplements for several days, before any blood testing. B6 remains bound to muscle for several days in the body and may show high because of that if you took B6 supplements for a while.
