Unpleasant Urine smell since starting B complex even when drinking 2 lites of water a day

[MIckeyrow]

Hello I have noticed a unpleasant urine smell since introducing the B complex vitamin I take the yellow one as well as B6, Vit D B12 and magnesium. What suggestions please .

That's normal. B vitamins are water soluble. Excess is excreted in the urine.

Yes, it will. Keep up the good work!

Hello Peggy no not yet but if this continues I will certainly go and get it checked thanks Peggy

I describe it (in my case) as a 'yeasty' smell to my urine when ingesting B vitamins. My urine also turns a stronger yellow color .... all perfectly routine in my opinion because when you cease taking the B vitamins, all returns to normal.

It's normal for one of them to turn your urine yellow but I've never had an issue with the smell. Asparagus does that though.

Hello Chris thank you for the reply.

Daily dose

Lindens Magnesium Oxide 500mg X 1

Doctors Best D3 5000iu. With extra virgin olive oil x 1

Solgar B complex with bit C x 1

Doctors best K2 100mcg x 1

Solgar B12 5000mcg X 1

Diet is reasonable fruit for breakfast salad for lunch with Tuna or chicken and meat and veg in the evening. I do have a pack of salted crisps every day.

I'd add in a Vit a supplement also, seeing as your taking a 5,000iu Vit D3. Vit A prevents Vit D3 becoming a toxic issue.

Vitamins A-D3-K2 Work together, hope that helps, and yes it's normal for the urine to change colour like that, if you start to get back pain in the kidney area drink more water and it will go in a day or so... Been there...

A strong change in colour if normal at first, if you are truly deficient there body will retain it better after a couple of weeks and your urine will go paper again. Any change in smell should be very slight, if that persists I would chat with your doctor.
