    Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin so any excess your body can't use will come out in your urine. If you pee highlighter yellow, you know you're getting more then your body can use. If that's the case, I'd cut back on the supplements just to save a little money. No point in spending good money on something you're not using, ya know. If you aren't losing it in your urine, though, you're not taking in more then your body can use. The only exception to this rule is if you are prone to kidney stones. Excess vitamin C can be a contributing factor.
