If I’m not mistaken, too much B6 can contribute to neuropathy, and some prefer folate to folic acid. Do the research.

Folate is just a salt of folic acid, so if it's sodium folate, that makes sense.

Toxic neuropathy. excerpt;

Cisplatin and high-dose pyridoxine are used more frequently to produce robust models of peripheral neuropathy in animals. Statins do appear to cause peripheral neuropathy.

I tnink I'd rather risk a peripheral neuropathy than a central one like Alzheimer’s.

My wife temporarily experienced that from too much B-6. Too much or too little - both result in problems.
