I would suspect the B vitamins are responsible... I have the same thing

happen when I take a B-100 complex. They're water soluble, so your body is

just getting rid of what you don't need.

I don't know why this would be, but it seems as though I do not get

this in response to liquid sublingual B vitamins the way I do to

capsulized B vitamins. Better absorption should mean less B vitamins

in the feces rather than the urine. But perhaps the dose required is

much lower because they are better absorbed, and perhaps I get the

colored urine from B vitamin capsules because they need to use very

high doses to compensate for relatively poor absorption?

Does your sublingual contain riboflavin? Because riboflavin's the

one responsible for the bright yellow color.

I answered this in another post, but just for in case you don't see

that one, it means that you're eliminating some riboflavin from the

liver. Riboflavin is the B vitamin that turns urine bright yellow.

It's the whole complex. But a serving only has up to 200% of the RDA

in most cases, from what I remember.

That would be the difference then. The B-150 I have on hand has 150 mg of

Riboflavin for a total of 8,824% DV.

I only really take these when I'm feeling especially dull - like from an

allergic reaction to gluten or casein. Otherwise for the most part its just

the liver in my diet.

I'm leery of megadosing on B vitamins, especially if they are not in

their natural forms and especially if the megadosing is not

proportionate among all B vitamins.

I've been using Total B, a liquid sublingual from Real Life Research

and it contains 4.7 mg of riboflavin-5-phosphate according to the

bottle. So that's a pretty big difference in dosage.

Unfortunately this supplement has cyanocobalamin and pyridoxine in it though.

I used to megadose B before I found out I was celiac. It was an instinctive

craving - when I finally stopped the B-100 or B-150 and at least 3 g of

Vitamin C a day was when I fell apart. It took 2 years after that to figure

out what was going on and how to fix it.

Since then I've realized I needed a heck of a lot more than a bandaid and

I'm doing much better - with no real need to take anything daily unless I

get exposed. I still benefit from megadosing, and even need it when exposed

to casein - but thankfully that has been few and far between.

As for my daily B intake... I've got some delicious chicken liver mousse in

the fridge that I just whipped up today begging me to go out and get some

crackers to eat it on...
