I just started taking Quest one MultiVitamin a day, today and i noticed that my urine cam out really dark yellow. I drank alot of water today just like i normally do everyday and i havent seen a dark color of my urine like this in years. I havent done anything else different today or yesterday that i dont normally do. Could it be possible that the multivitamin is being urinated out? I would really like to know because i just bought it today for about 35 bucks!

I tried posting, but don't see my message -- so try remembering what I wrote and give it a whirl again:
Yes this is normal. I'm not positive on how things all work, but the body takes what it needs, and the rest is flushed out of the system. I think this happens to all of us. The B vitamins are the worst. I would talk to your health food store, pharmacist or the place you got the vitamins from and have them go over your concern and reasons to why this does happen. There is nothing to worry about and you are not wasting your money.

Yes mulitvitamins will often cause your urine to be darker. This happens with the supplements I am on and is nothing to worry about.

Is the Multi Vitamin /Multi Mineral Supplement Time released? If so this is completely normal even if it was not time released it is also, basically your body is taking what it needs from the supplement and excreting the rest b/c it does not need it. Time released Vitamins are better because the supplement will release the minerals and vitamins over a period of time usually eight hours you still will excrete some because most multi vitamins have 300 % of the daily value or even higher! but this way it will ensure that the vitamins and minerals will stay inside your body for a maximum of eight hours incase they are needed later.
hope this helped
