A member asked:

Does a probiotic make urine more yellow?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Supplements: Water-soluble vitamins and supplements can be removed from the body via the urine especially when there is an excess. If this probiotic is water-soluble, it may well be leaving the body in this way and could be causing a yellowing of the urine. Vitamins and some medications can do this as well.
