Shilajit gummies making my pee look like radioactive gatorade?? anyone else??
ok so ive been taking these shilajit gummies for like 9 days now, 2 gummies in the morning. energy is decent i guess but the WEIRD thing is my pee is like... neon yellow/green?? brighter than when i take a b-complex. also weirdly i keep craving salty stuff which i never do lol. no pain, no burning, feel totally fine otherwise. is this a fulvic acid thing? something in the gummies? did i just buy garbage from amazon again? anyone else get this or am i slowly turning into a glowstick
Honestly? First thing: check your label. A LOT of "shilajit" gummies are like 5% shilajit and 95% maltodextrin, gelatin, and a fistful of B vitamins for the "energy" marketing. Riboflavin (B2) turns your pee exactly that neon yellow. So congrats, you probably paid $30 for vitamin gummies with a sprinkle of dirt. Also fulvic/humic acid is literally what makes the actual resin work, and doses in gummies are all over the place. If there's no 3rd party COA, you have no idea what's in it. The salt craving is probably unrelated but worth noting if it keeps up.
lmao the glowstick line got me. fwiw i had a similar thing with a different brand, bright pee for like a week then it settled down. i just assumed it was the B vitamins like Bob said. my bigger issue is these things do NOTHING for my energy compared to my usual 3 cups of coffee, so i stopped. did you notice any difference in sleep? bc when i took them at night i had the most VIVID dreams, like full on cinematic universe stuff
omg yes actually?? i moved my dose to morning bc i was having super vivid dreams too, like weirdly detailed ones i could remember the whole next day. figured it was coincidence. so maybe not just me?? and yeah i checked the label finally... riboflavin is literally right there in the "energy blend" lol. feeling a little dumb. Bob i think you nailed it. no COA anywhere on the site either. should i just toss these and get actual resin or is there a gummy brand that isnt total junk? genuinely asking
Not dumb, this whole category is designed to be confusing. If you want to stay with gummies, look for one that states the actual fulvic acid % and has a batch COA you can pull up. Otherwise the resin/putty is way more cost effective, just tastes like tar mixed with a campfire. Start tiny, like a grain of rice. And the dreams thing, could be real or could just be you noticing them more, but either way it's harmless. The neon pee is 100% the B2 though. Drink water and carry on.
