Moonbear said:It seems a great proof that if you take too much of a water soluble vitamin, you're just pouring your money down the drain, literally...LOL! I hadn't bought any sort of vitamins for a long time until about a month or so ago when I was feeling a bit of lack of energy and thought I'd check out the B-complex options. I found myself incredibly frustrated reading the labels of the vitamins as they all had contents of things like 3000% or 6000% of the RDA of various vitamins! What a waste! All I wanted was something with perhaps 50% or 75%. I know I get some in my diet and just wanted to bump it up a little to make sure I was getting enough of the ones I thought were a little lacking in my diet. It's an even scarier thought with lipid soluble vitamins that you really can overdose on.

You might achieve that by consuming fractional doses. In the case of LEF's Mix, wherein each official daily dose is 14 capsules, a fractional daily dose of 1 capsule would provide you with only 595, 210, 67, and 357 percents, respectively, of vitamins B1, B2, B3, and B6. If you want less than that, you could purchase the powdered form (flavored with stevia to counteract the bitter taste) of the same formulation and take as small a dose as you like.All I wanted was something with perhaps 50% or 75%.
This is a common occurrence and is completely normal. Vitamin B, specifically riboflavin (B2), is known to give urine a bright yellow color. This is because riboflavin is a water-soluble vitamin, meaning it dissolves in water and is easily excreted through urine. As a result, it can give urine a more vibrant color.
No, it is not dangerous. As mentioned before, this is a normal reaction to taking vitamin B. However, if your urine is a dark or bright yellow, it may indicate dehydration and you should drink more water.
The amount of vitamin B needed for your urine to turn yellow can vary based on factors such as your diet, metabolism, and the specific type of vitamin B you are taking. In general, the recommended daily intake for riboflavin (B2) is 1.3 mg for men and 1.1 mg for women.
Yes, there are other vitamins and medications that can cause changes in urine color. For example, taking high doses of vitamin C can cause urine to appear more orange. Certain medications, such as some antibiotics, can also give urine a different hue. If you are concerned about the color of your urine, it is always best to consult with a healthcare professional.
The yellow color in urine from taking vitamin B is typically temporary and will go away once the vitamin is excreted from your body. However, if you are taking high doses of vitamin B, the yellow color may be more persistent. If you are experiencing prolonged changes in urine color, it is best to consult with a healthcare professional.
