The kidneys serve two major functions: they keep the salt content of the blood constant, and they filter waste out of the bloodstream. So, the main components of urine are (salt) water and waste products. The major waste product from cells in the body is ammonia, and the major waste product from blood is a broken form of heme called bilirubin. In the liver, each of these is converted into a less hazardous form: ammonia is converted to urea, and bilirubin is degraded to urobilins. Salt, water, and urea are all colorless, but urobilins (which come from degraded pigments) are yellow. So, if you drink a lot, your urine will be more dilute and clearer, and if you get dehydrated, your urine will contain less water and be darker yellow.

The more water you drink the less color the urine will be. The "yellow" comes from all the food and chemicals prcessed by your kidneys and liver. When you have 40% waste and 60 % water your urine will be more yellow. If you have 10% waste 90% water it will be more clear. You can actually use the color of your urine as an indication of how hydrated you are. If you take multi vitamens it will turn your urine yellow no matter how hydrated you are. It;s a side of effect of all the minerals and vitamens your body did not absorb.
Hope that helped babe.

Because the human body makes it turn yellow.

Bile. Bile is the answer! Now pee can be lots of colors ranging from clear, to white and cloudy, to bright orange and even red from blood. but that is all based upon what you eat and drink

the yellow is a mixture of food and vitamins which are usually in the shades of red, green, and yellow. we don't eat blue food often.

Bilirubin reduction in the gut leads to a product called urobilinogen, which is excreted in urine. The product is yellow...hence, your urine is yellow.

Yellow is the toxins in your urine.... the darkness on the yellow indicates how much you have in your system.....

It's only blue if the man has been extremely sexually frustrated recently.
