Brief Answer:
The name of the test is needed to specify if there is a risk for false-positive results

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to "Ask a Doctor" service,

I carefully checked the uploaded images and the content of the supplements you are using.

Several drugs, over the counter or prescription, may interfere with different tests and examinations.
There many tests that can be conducted on a urine sample. So, it is important for us to know which was the name of the test that resulted positive so we can further determine if the supplements you are using can cause false-positive results or not.

So, please let us know the name of the test and if possible upload the result (if it is a lab examination).

I remain at your disposal for further medical assistance and hope to hear from you soon.

Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj
