Bright yellow urine after Vitamin D gummies - anyone else?
Hey everyone! I've been taking Vitamin D gummies for about a week now (the 2000 IU ones from a popular brand). I noticed my urine is a really bright yellow, like neon. It's not painful or anything, just weird. Is this normal? Also, I've been having some super vivid dreams, like movie-quality. Am I the only one?
Hi! I've seen this before with the gummies. The bright yellow is usually just excess B vitamins (especially B2) that your body is peeing out - it's harmless. The vivid dreams could be from the vitamin D affecting your sleep, but it's not a big deal. If it worries you, maybe switch to a lower dose or take it in the morning. I'm a mom of three, I've researched this stuff!
Yeah, the neon pee is classic. It's the riboflavin. No worries. I'm in the fitness world and I've seen clients with this. The dreams - I've had that too when I take vitamin D late at night. Try taking it with breakfast. Also, make sure you're not OD'ing on other supplements. What's your total daily D? I take 5000 IU and no issues.
Just to add my two cents - the vivid dreams are actually a thing! Some people report that. It's thought that vitamin D influences melatonin and sleep cycles, so it can make dreams more intense. Totally harmless. And yes, bright urine is from B-vitamins. You're good! But if you want peace of mind, check with your doc. Stay glowing! 😊
Thanks everyone! I feel better knowing it's not just me. I'll try taking them in the morning and maybe reduce to 1000 IU. The dreams are kinda cool though, I might keep them! 😄
