Vitamin B12 and Vitamin B6: what the published research says

PubMed indexes 6 records that name Vitamin B12 and Vitamin B6 together, either in the title or in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context. Each one is listed below with its study design and, where the abstract states one, the authors’ own conclusion, quoted and linked. This page reports that literature. It does not tell you whether to combine them.

Read this first

An evidence index, not guidance.

Every statement below is attributed to a named, dated, linked source.

This page lists published research relevant to Vitamin B12 and Vitamin B6. It deliberately does not state whether the combination is safe, whether it interacts, in which direction, at what dose, or how far apart to take them.

The research

6 studies naming Vitamin B12 and Vitamin B6.

Strongest relevance first: papers naming both substances in the title, then human trials and systematic reviews.

Vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and methionine and risk of pancreatic cancer: a meta-analysis.

Nutrition journal · 2020 · PMID 33012287

Meta-AnalysisHuman subjects

“Our study suggests that high intake of vitamin B6 and high concentration of blood PLP levels may be protective against the development of pancreatic cancer. Further research are warranted to confirm the results.”

Wei et al. · Authors' conclusion

Names both Vitamin B12 and Vitamin B6 in its title.

Effect of Methylfolate, Pyridoxal-5'-Phosphate, and Methylcobalamin (Soloways(TM)) Supplementation on Homocysteine and Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Levels in Patients with Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase, Methionine Synthase, and Methionine Synthase Reductase Polymorphisms: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Nutrients · 2024 · PMID 38892484

Randomized Controlled Trial

“LDL-C levels decreased by 11.8% in homozygous carriers (95% CI: -15.8% to -7.8%, p < 0.01) and 4.8% in mixed allele carriers (95% CI: -6.8% to -2.8%, p < 0.01), with a significant between-group difference (7.0%, 95% CI: -13.0% to -1.0%, p < 0.01). Methylfolate, P5P, and methylcobalamin supplementation tailored to genetic profiles effectively reduced homocysteine and LDL-C levels in patients with specific MTHFR, MTR, and MTRR polymorphisms, particularly with homozygous minor…”

Pokushalov et al. · From the abstract

Names both Vitamin B12 and Vitamin B6 in its title.

Folate, vitamin B12 and vitamin B6 and one carbon metabolism.

The journal of nutrition, health & aging · 2002 · PMID 11813080

ReviewHuman subjects

“We need more studies to confirm that these vitamins have important functions in the etiology of these diseases. We also need to establish if these diseases can be prevented or diminished by proper nutrition starting at a younger age.”

Selhub · From the abstract

Names both Vitamin B12 and Vitamin B6 in its title.

Plasma nutrient status of patients with Alzheimer's disease: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association · 2014 · PMID 24144963

Meta-AnalysisSystematic ReviewHuman subjects

“The lower plasma nutrient levels indicate that patients with AD have impaired systemic availability of several nutrients. This difference appears to be unrelated to the classic malnourishment that is well known to be common in AD, suggesting that compromised micronutrient status may precede protein and energy malnutrition.”

Lopes da Silva et al. · Authors' conclusion

Names Vitamin B12 and Vitamin B6 together in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context.

Nutrients and Neurology.

Continuum (Minneapolis, Minn.) · 2017 · PMID 28570331

Case ReportsReviewHuman subjects

“Optimal functioning of the nervous system is dependent on a constant supply of certain vitamins and nutrients. This article discusses neurologic manifestations related to deficiency of these key nutrients.”

Kumar · From the abstract

Names Vitamin B12 and Vitamin B6 together in an interaction, co-administration, or pharmacokinetic context.

Limitations

What this evidence cannot tell you.

Search-based evidence indexes have real limits, and it is worth being explicit about them:

NutriStack

Track what you actually take.

NutriStack is a free iPhone app for organising a supplement routine: what you take, when, and what the published record says about it. Its exploratory interaction checker covers Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, and several hundred other substances.

The checker is a research and organisation tool, not a clinical decision aid, and its per-pair assessments are excluded from search until they pass claim-level review.
