Vitamin B Complex PSA

[robertfoera]

I know there are a few of us taking to take vitamin B6 to lengthen our LPs, so this is for anyone planning to start taking/switch to a B complex.

I just switched from a B6/B12 combo to a B complex and noticed a strange side effect. TMI incoming... my pee was NEON YELLOW!!

Apparently vitamin B2 (aka riboflavin) can turn your pee bright yellow. It's harmless though. Just a heads up

@robertfoera Weird. I took my vitamin B supplements for years and never noticed a change in my pee, but the day I started prenatals it was like pissing highlighters.

@rtellard Hahahaha pissing highlighters is dead on!

@robertfoera My prenatal does this!! Freaked me out at first! Rainbow Light does it for me but seemingly not Nature Made.

@pacific75 I am taking Deva right now and it's ridiculous. It helps me remember if I miss a day because then my pee is back to normal right away.

@robertfoera I love the neon pee haha It's just the excess B2 (as mentioned in the post) so if you notice it on one pill and not another it is likely a dosage issue. The excess is water soluble hence the bright pee

@robertfoera Same here! I'm taking a weird prenatal where I have to split the dose so my pee is never a normal colour anymore. It also dyes ovulation test strips yellow.
