Guest guest Posted July 24, 2002 Report Share Posted July 24, 2002 The B vitamins tend to turn urine bright yellow. I have no idea as to the mechanism perpetrating this effect but as far as I have read and been told it is totally harmless. I have been taking many vitamin supplements for many years with the constant result of VERY yellow urine and it has had absolutely no adverse affect whatsoever. In fact I just this minute got my blood and urine test results from a routine, yearly physical and all were totally normal. Don't worry. Best wishes.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2002 Report Share Posted July 25, 2002 Specifically, excess vitamin B2 (riboflavin) excreted in the urine turns it that characteristic yellow. As others have noted, the color is harmless. Marjorie Marjorie Lazoff, MD > The B vitamins tend to turn urine bright yellow.
