What Causes Elevated Vitamin B Levels While On Multivitamins?

I had a vertical sleeve done a year ago and from then on I am on multivitamin tablets once a day for life. My recent blood test shows very good results in all area except elevated B vitamin levels. Are there any multivitamin tablets for man WITHOUT B complex vitamins added? Cheers, Peter

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
hello peter,
thanks for choosing health care magic for your inquiry
first of all there are no multivitamin tablets that dont contain vitamin b all the formulations contain.
the high levels can only be brought about by taking overdose of multivitamins but in your case you are taking the recommended dose so the multivitamin is not likely to be the cause of the high levels
they are various reasons for an increase in the levels of vitamin b but first of all you have to be specific on which vitamin b are the raised levels.
usually liver disease, blood disorder, renal disease can be causing the high levels.
i would suggest get reviewed by your physician and get the necessary tests done to know the cause and get the treatment accordingly.
hope to have answered your query.
wish a quick recovery.
