Nerve and energy support together.

Both B6 and B12 are central to healthy nerve function and to turning food into usable energy, and they are partners (with folate) in the homocysteine and methylation pathways, so they are naturally taken together.

What to do

Fine together, and a B-complex is the simplest way to cover both. If you have unexplained tingling, numbness, or fatigue, ask for a B12 test specifically, since deficiency is common in vegans, older adults, and long-term metformin or acid-blocker users.
