The B2 (riboflavin) is what makes pee yellow. Since B vitamins are not stored in the body (water soluble) any extra is lost in your urine. The bright yellow would happen to anybody taking the same vitamins.

What does it mean when your urine gets brighter?

If you mean "brighter" as in a very bright yellow color it could be from vitamins or medications you are taking. Have you started taking a new medicine or vitamin? It can change your urine color. Eating certain vegetables in large quantities can change the color as well as dehydration, not drinking enough fluids, specifically water. That would cause your urine to turn a deep, yellow color. Other variations of yellows or red-browns can be more serious. And of course any pain, burning, itching or swelling around the urethra or discharge should be cause for being seen by your family physician.

If b vitamins make your urine yellow is the dosage too high?

Not necessarily. The color change in urine from B vitamins is harmless and does not indicate an issue with dosage. B vitamins are water-soluble, so excess amounts are usually excreted through urine, causing it to appear yellow.


What are the lipid soluble and water soluble Vitamins?

Vitamin C and B complex are both water soluble (ie hydrophilic), which is why a daily dose is recommended. Your body only uses what it needs in a day, and any excess in your body will be dissolved in water and excreted (this is why your urine is very yellow after taking a B complex, it's the excess B2 - riboflavin that is naturally yellow.) Vitamins A, D, E, and K are all fat soluble (ie hydrophobic). The excess which is not used is stored in adipose tissue (fat cells) until needed. This is where people started saying you'll turn orange if you eat too many carrots: carrots contain beta-carotene which the body turns into vitamin A with bile salts. So it is possible to get too much of the A, D, E, and K (though none are toxic at high levels except vit D - so watch out), but it is silly to take tablets with large amounts of vitamins B and C because you'll just excrete it!

What vitamin makes your urine bright yellow?

Vitamins may make your urine yellow due to the amount of nutrients that were flushed out. When vitamins and minerals are not used, they are flushed out through the urine. However, I find that if I drink more, my urine is no longer bright yellow. Yellow urine is a sign of dehydration, and you may need more fluids to properly absorb your vitamins. Try drinking some more spring water each day.

Should you stop using multivitamins if urine is bright yellow?

Bright yellow urine can indicate excess B vitamins, particularly riboflavin (B2), which are often found in multivitamins and are water-soluble. If you're taking a multivitamin and notice this change, it's generally not a cause for concern, as the body excretes excess vitamins. However, if you experience other symptoms or have specific health concerns, it's wise to consult a healthcare professional before continuing or adjusting your supplement regimen.


Why is your urine so bright yellow?

Bright yellow urine is typically due to high levels of riboflavin (vitamin B2), which can occur after taking multivitamins or B-complex supplements. It can also be a sign of dehydration, where concentrated urine appears darker. However, if the bright color persists without dietary changes or hydration issues, it may be worth consulting a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying conditions.
