I'm a "seemingly" healthy 22 yr old male, just wondering what causes urine color to darken. It's been about two days now that it's been a dark yellow.

Vitamins will darken the urine. Concentrated urine will also be a darker color. You should always try and drink as much water as possible...like 8 glasses a day or even more will not hurt, water helps clear toxins from your body and helps your organs filter your blood better...good for the body. Drink up.

Vitamin B will make it a Bright yellow.
Dark yellow implies a lack of hydration or a urinary infection. If it hurts to pee, the latter. Otherwise, drink more water.

you need to drink more water! when i don't drink enough water my urine gets really dark. by the end of the day your pee should be clear, that means you have drank enough water to clense your system. either that or if you have changed the way you have eaten, that may have something to do with it as well.

Liver problems can cause dark urine as well...Do you drink too much?

Vitamins and I have also heard protein will make your urine darker.

I have this issue when I haven't drank enough water. Try drinking more water and it should lighten up, at least mine does.

the first pee in the morning will be a stronger colour as it has been "maturing" overnight. It should be pale colour the rest of the day.
