Deep Yellow Urine With Vitamin Smell After Taking Super B Complex Vitamin Tablet. Possibility Of Non Absorbing Of Vitamin By The Body?
hello, I currently am taking super b complex vitamin. After taking this vitamin, I notice that my urine is a deeper yellow and sometimes smells like the vitamin. Should I be concerned? also, I heard that this is a sign that my body is not absorbing the vitamin and that I am pissing it out as well as I should look into another brand, is this true?

Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
