Had no idea B vitamins were such powerful diuretics.

I've never taken a B complex vitamin but I did use to take Niacin back in the day.
I took one single pill yesterday and could not believe how much it made me pee, and I hadn't even been chuggn water or anything.

But in 4 hours time I had to make at least 10 trips to the bathroom, and not little tiny squirts it was like emptying a full bladder everytime.
People say Nolva and Letro dry you out but I never had an effect like this where when I looked in the mirror my face literally looked skinnier, and actually all around my entire body just looked a bit leaner.

Whats really cool is the following day for some reason I had an excellent workout, my energy was through the roof more the usual and I was thinking "wow maybe vitamins really aren't worthless".

But I'm a little confused. I'd like to keep taking the B-vitamins but is there anyway to avoid the thousand trips to the bathroom? I like that my body is moving water (flushing out toxins and w/e) but for people who take B vitamins does the peeing every 20mins ever go away? What I'm saying is I like the diuretic effect and energy, but I'd prefer the peeing to be a bit less intense.
And does anyone know which one of the B vitamins in the complex is responsible for this? I was googling but couldn't find it.

Remember people with blood type A cannot absorb exogenous Vit-B.

I believe with b vitamins whatever your body doesn't use you pee out. Maybe try lowering your dose if possible

That would be interesting if thats whats going on. I think I might try breaking the pill in half, then taking one in the morning and in the afternoon and seeing if that makes it better.

Thanks!

Thanks for that, it explains why I have had to pee so much lately. I started taking B complex also about a week ago and sometimes even wake up every hour or two to take a pee and I have never had to do that before.
