Why do the vitamins I take make my pee bright yellow?

Question

I take a multi vitamin for women from GNC every day, and it makes my pee bright neon yellow. The lady at GNC said that was normal, but why?

Answer 1

vitamin c will do that.

If you are concerned, see your doc. Try drinking more water too!

Answer 2

these are the extra vitamins you're body doesn't need coming out. It doesn't concentrate your urine. Vit C does the same thing. Your body can only handle a certain amount of certain vitamins at a time. If you take too much of these vitamins it is expelled in your urine. So you really don't get the full effect. That's why some vitamins are to be taken twice a day (meaning 12 hours apart) so that your body can get the full benefit of it. You can drink more water because you should anyway, there's nothing to be worried about. Take them everyday, they are water soluble and needs to be replaces daily.

Answer 3

It is the b Vitamins and primarily B-2. Your body absorbs what it needs and sloughs off the rest. It is harmless. If you want to minimize this drinks 6-8 glasses of water per day (Which you should do anyway) and take it with a meal. Some food like asparagus (rich in B vitamins) will do this too. All sais and done, there is nothing harmful happening to you from this.

Answer 4

Your digestive tract and kidneys try to absorb all the Vitamins and minerals they can. Once your body reaches a saturation point it then eliminates all of the excess vitamins and minerals. It is normal and as of yet we have no idea of the long term damages or concequences of overloading your body. The science points to not causing much damage, however nutriton as we know it didnt become a science until 1941. So we have not had even 100 years to find out.

Answer 5

After your body has flushed your system the excess vitamins go out through your urine, usually the excess vitamin C turns the pee yellow.

Answer 6

The vitamins you are taking are giving you excessive amounts that you body is not absorbing, whereby your body is passing what it doesn't need and any excess of the vitamins. Don't take your vitamins everyday take one every two or three days. This should help.

Answer 7

Anything that you comnsume can affect your pee. Tablets are made with a combination of things to give it, its form, eg.tablet. It sticks it all together like the egg in a cake.When they make mecication they used different ingredients to construct the product.
It's nothing to worry about.If it bothers you greatly you can just buy a different brand of the drug.

Answer 8

Iron in your vitamins does NOT affect the color of your urine, contrary to what the woman above me seems to think. Not sure what women's vitamin you're taking, but I was taking a multi-vitamin a while back, and I think it had lycopene in it, that made my urine neon yellow as well. I honestly can't remember what was in the vitamin, but it was a large, dark green pill. It's nothing to worry about. It is normal for that to happen. Just like when you drink a bunch of coffee, your urine smells of coffee, or when you eat onions, it smells of onions.
