High Vitamin B Blood Levels - Should I Be Concerned?

I just got the results of some bloodwork that was done fasting, and without taking B vitamin supplements for over 24 hrs. The results are as follows, and I'm wondering if I should be concerned, especially for the B1. I have been doing the HDT routine for a while (2 yrs??? not sure) But I have settled on 500mg/day for a while now. I'm wondering if my level is supposed to be high if I'm doing the HDT. My B2 level was low with the last blood draw.

The other Bs I'm taking daily are -

B6 (P-5-P) - 50mg

B12 - 2500mcg sublingual

B2 - 100mg

I have stopped taking everything except the B2 for the time being.

RESULTS WERE -

B1 - 225 (reference range 78 - 185)

B6 - 71 (reference range 2 - 21)

B12 - 2000 (reference range 200 - 1100)

B2 - 15 (reference range 6 - 39)

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY THOUGHTS.....

Then what park_bear says below is probably right.

If you are doing HDT high B1 levels are to be expected.

The range is what the average population has. Doesn’t necessarily mean it’s enough for everyone. People who have genetic defects can need extra of some things for body to work properly. And I think I read the b1 in the blood has to be high and taken as a bolus to be able to push through the blood brain barrier?

Eg mercury they have raised the range of normal in recent years as lots of people were outside the normal. Doesn’t mean it’s ok though.
