I’ve gone back and forth on taking a multivitamin since I know my diet isn’t all that great. Ideally I should be working to improve that diet but let’s say due to certain circumstances that’s a bit difficult at the moment.
Would it be worth taking a 1 a day multivitamin to at least correct some possible deficiency or is it very unlikely that it would have any effect?
Not asking for professional medical advice or anything, mostly looking to see if anyone else is taking a multivitamin and if so why?
The ones I take make my pee yellow. So it’s definitely doing something.
Those are excess vitamins that your body is eliminating.
so, it is doing something
Making the pee more expensive, yes.
Or the food colouring they put in the pills to make it look like it’s doing something
Doesn’t even have to be artificial food coloring. Beta-carotene is a natural yellow-orange food coloring, as well as a vitamin A source.
For me it’s green.
Green/florescent green pee that looks like Mountain Dew can be a sign of diabetes, or consuming more sugar than your body can handle.
Check with your doctor.
I have diabetes but it’s definitely the vitamins, it only happens when I take them. I had a gastric bypass and the bariatric vitamins have high amounts of everything to make up for the malabsorption.
