Can vitamin c 500mg make you pee yellow a lot?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: It's water soluble, so you "pee out" what you don't need.

A member asked:

Taking B Complex Vitamin (Solgar); pee is bright yellow because of Riboflavin.. I think. It seems unnatural or unhealthy that it is consistently bright (almost neon yellow). Question: Over time can the excess Riboflavin cause damage in any way?

A member asked:

Kind of an odd question but if you take a water solvable vitamin supplement and it doesn't seem like you noticeably pee it out (B vitamins for example turning your urine deep yellow) does that mean your body used it all?
