The answer is "very probably, yes". To remedy neurological defects caused by a long-term vegetarian diet, I inject myself i/m every 2-3 days with 5mg of methylcobalamin (the neurologically-active form of B12) and take a further 10mg sublingually, daily. I noticed some time ago that the first couple of urine streams thereafter were a bright yellow - possibly derived from the cobalt in the vitamin. (Being a man, I am structurally organised to notice urine colour "in passing", as it were; a woman would, I imagine, have to set up a "wee" experiment!) I also (for the same condition) take 5mg of folic acid (which is orange/yellow) daily, and two "Strong Vitamin B Tablets". These latter contain a number of the B-Complex vitamins, some of which are also orange/yellow. I know that both of these medications colour urine, but I have also noticed that - as I have stepped up my B12 intake (and improved the "quality" - ie bioavalability - of it) the colour has deepened. All of the forms of B12 are a glorious carmine, so you would expect it to impart a pinkish or reddish tinge to urine. If you go to wrongdiagnosis.com, and follow up the threads on B12 Deficiency (there's quite a lot), you'll find that pink urine colour does also get a mention.

Does bright yellow urine mean you failed a drug test?
no. bright yellow urine means you are dehydrated. which is a common symptom after you get high, that's why before a drug test u want to drink as many fluids as possible to flush through your system. which usually makes it clear. beer tends to work because it flushes your system quickly. -I have never heard of it meaning you are dehydrated, but I know for a fact it is the vitamin b12 leaving your body that causes the urine to be bright yellow.
