multi vitamin causing bright yellow pee

I know if you have too much vitamin B your urine will turn bright yellow from your body expelling it.... 

so does this mean I have too much or don't need to take extra?

Bright yellow urine is a sign of excess B-vitamins in the body, including B-2 and B-12, although this condition is harmless.

You are correct it is the b vitamin riboflavin. Riboflavin (vitamin B2) contains a yellow-green pigment that can enhance the color of your urine.

The supplement you are taking should be formulated with riboflavin  RDA values at acceptable levels. If you take the amount suggested on the product you won't overdose supplementally on riboflavin.

Your body won't be able to absorb 100% of the vitamin supplements you take at any one time.  The unabsorbed vitamins are excreted in urine, but that doesn't mean you don't still need it.  Your body is absorbing part of it.  Continue to take the vitamins.  

Are you taking your vitamins with meals or on an empty stomach?  Vitamins are better absorbed if taken with meals.  Taking supplements with meals helps with absorption because the transit time (time spent in the digestive tract) is longer.  Vitamin supplements taken with meals help absorption of other nutrients in the food eaten.

Are you keeping a food journal?  You may want to add notations about when you take your vitamins and when you notice the bright yellow pee.  

For those aficionados of crime scene tv shows...

Riboflavin in both blood and urine will glow in the dark under black light!  

It's not quite Halloween, but let's have some fun!  Make your own glow in the dark candy!

      Agreed, I am disappointed in the recent GFCO findings as well and definitely don't hold them in as high of a regard as I used to. I did find on the Global Foods website after posting that their required ppm limit is 20ppm, which isn't as low as I had hoped. I'll email and report back. Thx.

      Never heard of them. They give an email address so if I were you I would contact them and ask those questions. It would be wonderful if they had tighter requirements than GFCO in the sense of more frequent batch testing and even random testing. Recent news articles on this forum from back in this summer have revealed that GFCO is letting us down.

      Two things: 1. If you are using drops 3x a day you should be sure to use preservative free. The preservatives themselves can cause irritation. 2. If the problem does not resolve, you may want to have a rheumatologist check for Sjogren's. There appears to be a relationship between celiac and Sjogren's.

      I have purchased Roastery Coast nuts in the past and just went to purchase some and noticed a different gluten free certification on their packages (used to have GFCO certification) that I've never heard of before. Anyone have info on this certification company Global Food and what their requirements are for companies to be certified (ppm limit, audits, testing, etc)?  Thx.   https://www.globalfoodcert.org/
