When i was little my mom used to tell me that vitamins turned my pee yellow and that was a good thing. My question is is it a good thing to have yellow pee or clear pee? if i eat lots of fruits and vegetables will my pee be clearer?? ive heard mixed opinions on this and im just curious which is better, clear or yellow pee ? which means im getting the proper nutrients? sorry i know this is kinda gross but ive been wondering about it for years.

    I always thought your pee told you how hydrated you are. Light yellow to clear and you are hydrated...any darker and you should drink some water.

    I have no idea about it having much to do with vitamins but someone more knowledgeable than me will jump in.

    Excess riboflavin/vitamin b2 will be flushed by your body turning your pee yellow. You should only take the recommended dose of vitamins.

    Clear pee means you've been getting enough hydration so you should aim for that.
