I personally don't think you need a B-50. You might investigate P5P (pyridoxal 5 phosphate) only instead of B6, just in case you are not converting...but that would be optional.
I would not count on the magnesium as mixtures are usually oxide form for economy and new studies show it is mostly not absorbed, and remains in the GI tract.
Take that vitamin on an empty stomach or the B12 will not necessarily be absorbed.
That is all I see for now.
