B6 is a cofactor in homocysteine chemistry. Methylfolate and methylcobalamin are the two others that work as a team in this one reaction.
But B6 also does many other things in the body, and so do the other 2.
When something is "consumed" in a biochemical reaction in the body, its level is therefore "lowered". Whether is is a huge effect, I have not seen reported. But B6 is a critical nutrient, just like the other two. B6 has to be activated you know, and B2 riboflavin is the cofactor for that! Be low in riboflavin and you won't get activated B6 (called P5P), either.
Taking a complex if you think you are low is a good idea.
B-Right by Jarrow now has the 3 activated forms in it of B12, folate and B6. Its doses are lower than a B-50, but higher than a multivitamin.
