I take vitamin b, and it makes my urine look fluorescent. now, my urine is a normal color. i don't drink enough water. what's happening?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't worry: A very generous amount of riboflavin, which is fluorescent, is put into b-vitamins so it will make the urine shiny and people will be impressed with their medication.
