Okay- so this maybe a bit gross, but I just have to see if anyone else is experiancing the same thing as me.
This week I started a new Multivitamin for women. It smells DISGUSTING and is as big as a horse pill. I almost could not swallow it. So I take it at lunch and then for the rest of the day my pee is the most floresent yellow ever. towards evening it starts to fade and by morning it is fine and then I take the pill at lunch again and the whole experiance repeats itself.... what does this mean about this particular vitamin?????
PS- I drink approx 4L of water a day so it is not due to the fact I am not taking in enough fluids. I know that would be my immediate response as well.....

    It's from excess riboflavin (Vitamin B2). It's okay, your body absorbs what it needs and discards the rest.
