Does taking multi vitamins pills caused yellowish urine, even with the big amount of water intake?
If so, why's causing it?

The yellow urine is likely from taking more water soluable vitamins (especially B) than you need. Your body will eliminate the extras for you.
No need to worry, you're ok. The vitamins are doing their job. ;)

Just about all your water-soluble vitamins, being unnecessary, are going straight into the urine without even slowing down on the way through. You may notice that wonderful B-complex odor as well. If it's still quite bright despite lots of hydration, I'd guess you're taking megadoses, which is just silly. Somebody may have sold you a bill of goods.

trust me on this one... vitamin companies add dyes to their products in order to make the person think that they are taking a really good or potent vitamin. it is strictly a marketing tool. GNC vitamins are notorious for doing this. My pee looked like it could glow in the dark or be used as Prestone antifreeze. Then I switched to another brand and it was dark gold. I saw this too on Dateline NBC or one of those shows. Tell me what color you like and I'll tell you which multi-vitamin to take.

I think that there is just a special type of chemical that does it, but I believe that the vitamin that makes it the most yellow is vitamin B.

Vitamin B (not B 12) will do this in the extreme.

Even vitamins at excess are just xenobiotic to our biochemical pathways so they are just excreated via urine in safe possible ways

It's usually the food coloring they put into the coating. It's harmless.
