why is it that when taking vitamin your urins sometimes turn dark yellow?

that would be because of the excess water-soluble vitamins that ur body is trying to eliminate so as to maintain homeostasis and prevent the complications of having too much of these vitamins

Your pee turns yellow.  Vitamin C is easily processed by the kidneys and the kidneys are there to remove overburdens, so too much vitamin C exits through the bladder as yellow peepee.

It's my understanding that even large doses of Vitamin C can't do you much harm because it's water-soluble -- you lose a lot of it every time you go to the bathroom.\n\nOn the other hand, commercial vitamin supplements may contain fillers and additives, so you should consult your doctor or nutritionist for recommendations and be prepared to pay a little more for better quality.

Many supplements cause that to occur, don't worry about it.   I think it's the food coloring in it.  I bet it has a strange smell to it also.

It is absorbed into your body and your kidneys turn it yellow.  Hey, I think you've got the beginning of a new song here....\nWhere did all the purple go,\nLong time pee-eing?\nWhere did all the purple go,\nLong time ago....\nLook out, Weird Al, I'm on your a**!

The color is absorbed in the body and our bloodstream. Its yellow is the urea from our kidney. If you drink enough water it wont be as yellow.

you'll have a lot of good ol' beta carotene in your system :) the worst thing i could think of is your skin or urine might look orangy. but that's just normal. sometimes i eat red beets and my pee turns red.

Are you certain that you have liver damage?  Orange colored urine can be caused by several factors.  Some more serious are hepatitis or jaundice.\n\nhere's a website that explains:  http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/sym/orange_urine.htm

Not necessarily.  Drink more water.  If the color of your urine is still abnormal, consult your gynecologist.

It should be close to a clear color, if you drink enough water. A light yellow color is alright but you could drink a little more water. If its dark then thats not really good. You would need to drink more water and eat healthier.

If you're worried about absorbtion, you might want to look into products like Vitamin Water, which make absorbtion easier due to being in liquid form when ingested.\n\nAlso realize that not all vitamins and minerals are the same.  Some are classified as "fat-soluble" and other are "water-soluble."  For example, Vitamin C is "water-soluble" and so will dissolve in water more easily.  Because of this, you will lose some every time you urinate.  There's no way around this, and this is why it may be better to spread out ingestion of supplements throughout the day instead of all at once in the morning (don't take any at night if you have trouble going to sleep).

B2 - Riboflavin - is the source of the bright yellow.  The 'flavin ring' of B2 creates the fluorescent yellow color.

a lot of the color depends on how hidrated you are. The more dehydrated you are the darker yellow it is.

Yes. It means your liver is working very well to clear your blood of toxins.\n\nHigh bilirubin levels lead to a yellow skin and eyes and is called jaundice.

Sometimes it has to do with your diet if it is during the day. If it is in the morning, it's because your body worked all night to clean out your organs.\nDrink plenty of water and you'll begin to see clear urine. Usually it is the darker urine that smells it means your body is working extra hard. I keep a half gallon container in the refrigerator and try to drink it in one day.

dehydration will darken the urine....if youre out in this heat then you need to increase your fluid intake...especially water...remembering that soda (caffeine) will also dehydrate you too

As vitamin C, which is a water soluable vitamin, is not stored appreciably in our body and excess amounts are eliminated rapidly, toxicity is unlikely. Overuse of vitamin C can result in Diarrhea, burning with urination, nausea, skin sensitivities etc. There is also some concern that high intake may cause kidney stones.
