Why is your urine bright yellow after taking b complex vitamins?

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.

∙ 14y agoB vitamins, like many others, are called "water-soluble" vitamins. Therefore, unlike others which can be stored in fat, any excess of the vitamins will be excreted in the urine, causing the obvious dark yellow colored urine. Water soluble vitamins usually cannot be stored, and thus must be replenished on a daily basis.

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!

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.
