Yes, I would stop them at least 3 days prior to the testing.

The test results should be higher than normally expected however, because you have used them for a while.

B12 will be higher than if you never took any. But it should not be falsely elevated beyond what your current level is, if you stop 3 days prior.

B6 can linger for quite a while, and typically shows higher when tested when you have been using it for a while. It is stored in muscles for a time.

Magnesium testing doesn't show much ...since only very high or very low can be attributed to "symptoms". But having a level may be useful in some ways.

Yes, get the B1 tested because there is a genetic possibility of a low situation with it.
