Okay so my pee is fluro yellow.
I know normally that signifies dehydration but it has only been happening since I started taking these new herbal meds and I have not changed my drinking habits dramatically (if anything i'm drinking more than usual).
So i'm thinking it's the herbs but some opinions would be incredibly appreciated.
May be TMI but I need answers

herbs/diet can change the color of urine to a great extent. if you are sure you are not dehydrated (and with the herbs you are on, i'd probably up my water intake, if i could), then it is probably the herbs and nothing to worry about.
in short- drink more, pee more often. don't stress.
I notice that when i drink more soda my pee is that color too. Or if I have held it for a long time (ie a car trip or something).
dunno if thats any help, but yeah.
The prenatal vitamins I was prescribed did that to me - turned it the color of a yellow highlighter!
:lol:
Dude, the whole time I've been taking Kate's vitamins I've been pissing fluoro for half the day!
The two different Nutrimedicine vitamins I've been on have done that.
Do the pills have B vitamins in it? That will make your pee as bright as Mellow Yellow/Mt. Dew...
no worries, but remember to take in more water when you are taking vits/herbs!
btw, welcome back :wink:
ames
ya, B vitamins turn pee bright yellow. if urine looks more like apple juice, then you are dehydrated.
yeah, it's not the color that signifies dehydration so much as the opacity. If it's at all cloudy or dark, then you're dehydrated. But if it's neon yellow but still very transparent, it sounds like a b vitamin thing. Natural supplements often contain higher doses of daily vitamins and minerals than your average drug store brand might.
Thankyou all.
Well since Maja and I are on the same types of stuff from the same woman i'm assuming it's safe to say that it is the herbs and i've been attempting to drink more water and the clolour has not changed.
It isn't cloudy or dark it's just bright bright yellow and transparent.
(I don't know the answer, but this is not TMI, this is your body)
I was taking vitamin B12 and other b vitamins and not only was my pee v. v. v. bright yellow, it had a stronger oder than normal, when I came off the vitamins, the color and smell went back 2 normal, u r fine prob, ask ur doc if u r really ocncerned but I wouldnt worry
