    I have been taking a multi-vitamin for some time now. I just switch recently from One-a-Day for Men to Centrum. I like the Centrum better. Is there really a difference or is it all in my head?

    How do you 'like' a certain vitamin better? You can't even tell you've taken them.

    for me its a supplimental thing. i lift regularly (lately, very heavily) and get plenty of cardio in at the end of my workout routine. i take a multi vitamin as well as a whey protein suppliment to aid my recovery. my personal favorite is the One Source Complete for active men. Along with the "regular" DRA vitamins and minerals it has 27mg EGCG green tea and 600mcg lycopene. plus i can piss bright neon yellow streams, how cool is that?

    So you like it better because you can piss bright neon yellow? Or do you actually feel a real physical difference?

    it is the water soluble vitamins...mostly the B vitamins that turn your piss yellow.

    All the B-Complex Vitamins are water-soluable, and are usually derived from bacteria, yeasts, fungi, or molds...scientists estimate there are well over 100 vitamins in this complex which all work together. This is one reason why a B-complex vitamin taken from whole foods is essential rather than a synthetic vitamin or a grouping of just these known vitamins. The unidentified vitamins in the B-complex are necessary to help the others function, and just because we don't know their names doesn't mean we shouldn't try to include them in our diets.

    because the B Vitamins are water soluable, any excess of these vitamins that the body does not need is excreted from the body, so an excess does neither good nor harm. when you take B vitamins, you will notice shortly afterward that your urine is a bright yellow color...this is due to the excess vitamins being eliminated through the urine.

    another reason that your urine turns yellow is because at least some of the B-vitamins in your supplement probably are synthetic....therefore your body cannot use them.

    brewers yeast is one of the richest source for some of the B vitamins. Another rich source is the production of some of the B vitamins in the intestinal tract...these vitamins grow best on lactose and small amounts of fat in the diet...maintaining a milk-free diet or taking sulfa drugs and other antibiotics can destroy the bacteria which produces these vitamins. sleeping pills, insecticides, and estrogen also can destroy these bacteria in the intestinal tract.
