Question 4 nutritionist or MD

Vitamins, multi-vitamins.....

Most bottles of these pills suggest taking upto 4 per day. No matter how little I take (usually just one) and no matter how much water I drink...the urine runs yellow/bright: This would be the excess/un-used or processed vitamins being "eliminated".....right?

I'm concerned about that. It would seem that our kidneys, livers and other "filtering" organs are put under a heavy load with having to deal with so much of what seems like excessive nutrients. Much like a filter that can clog, I'm worried that even one of these vitamins, as evident by the discharge, is far too excessive in what they deliver. If our bodies needed it, we wouldn't see it being pissed-out so readily....right?

Could it be that each vitamin manufacturer is competing (in marketing) to provide what appears to be the most potent & "packed" vitamin that we, the consumers, end up thinking we're getting a better vitamin when all we're doing is over-taxing our kidneys with what may be mega-doses of vitamins?

It would seem a bit of color in the urine is fine....but when it's that dark and obviously discharging a LOT of stuff...wouldn't it seem potentially dangerous or at least other then beneficial?

FOCUS: this thread should not turn into a report card of what everyone is taking...just why is the urine so dark, wouldn't it reason that the dose is excesssive, and is this potentially problematic?

Btw, Jimmy540i takes a VERY expensive vitamin that a doctor in BEVERLY HILLS mixes custom for his genetic make-up....it's mostly composed of "Blingium" with a laxative so he doesn't get too full of himself
