Why Would my Urine be Fluorescent Colored?
February 25, 2021 by Kristy
I have not been feeling, right. I made an appointment with my Naturopathic doctor. She is amazing. One of the things she said I needed was B vitamins. She put me on a B- Complex and a chewable B-12 regimen for 30 days to see if I am lacking in that.
On Day 2 of taking these supplements, I had something really, really weird happen. So let me tell you something, I drink water. I drink water with meals, I drink water without meals. I drink water in the car, I even take water to church. Seriously I can’t get enough of the stuff. With drinking this much water, my urine is pretty much clear and odorless. On the second day of taking the B Complex vitamins, my urine looked like Mountain Dew. Ya, it was fluorescent yellowish green. It was really strange and quite disturbing.
I did what I normally do and brushed it off. Then the next morning, exactly the same thing. I said to my Hubby, “ummm maybe I need to go back to the doctor because fluorescent isn’t normal!” He then reminded me that I just started taking new supplements. “Duh”. Anyway I have one more day left of the B Complex Vitamins.
What I have noticed is that overall I am a lot happier. My sleep is much more restful and for the majority of the time my stomach hasn’t hurt and I am actually kind of nice and I am not feeling sorry for myself. Those are all awesome improvements that most people would benefit from.
What exactly do B Complex vitamins do anyhow? Most B Complex vitamins consist of B1 (Thiamine), B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), B5 (Pantothenic acid), B6 (Pyridoxine), B7 (Biotin), B9 (Folate) and B12 (Cobalamin). A lot of the individual things that the B vitamins do is help convert food & nutrients into energy and help to restore cell growth, brain function and DNA. All very vital and important things.
How do you naturally get B vitamins? The majority of people that eat a wide range of foods generally CAN get enough B vitamins from their diets. Meats, cheeses, seeds, leafy greens and beans are usually great at providing B vitamins. However sometimes your body may not be able to absorb the nutrients because of whatever your body may be going through. Which is what my problem was. I am excited to see if taking B Complex for a month has helped my body the way that I feel like it has.
