    am i wasting nutrients?

    so I started taking a multivitamin daily just to make sure I am getting all the vitamins/nutrients I need. the bottle requires 6 pills daily split into two doses. I noticed when I take these as recommended my piss is so yellow almost neon. my question is, is this the result of wasted vits/nutrients? all day I piss neon no matter how much water I drink lol. should I take the dose down? any experience with this?

    I'm not 100% sure but i think it's because the synthetic versions of the vitamins aren't easily digested so you just piss most of them out. You need a multivitamin that uses natural sources of the vitamins that can be digested easily.

    Interesting! I've noticed the same this cycle as I switched to the joint pack from GNC(I know I hate em too)... And I drink over a GL a day... But it's only a short period of time for me(like 2 hrs around 10:00 am - and take at 4:30am)?!

    Actually it's only a multi Vitamin, condroiten, and fish oil(which I already supplement)... Duh I guess it takes a question to ask yourself one! I can get these ingredients and make my own... Lol

    Or find liq. Form... GGR do you know if the site supp store would carry this(liq. Form vitamins, powders etc?
