A member asked:

Taking multivitamin called mega men from gnc is it normal to get "yellow urine" after taking this supplements?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Riboflavin: If the preparation has large amount of riboflavin, that will impart yellow color to the urine. If you are eating a regular diet, you do not need to take "Mega vitamins". You are wasting money and depending on the composition of the preparation may be hurting your health.
