What the Yuck: My pee is bright green!Too embarrassed to ask your doctor about sex, body quirks, or the latest celeb health fad? In a regular feature and a new book, "What the Yuck?!," Health magazine medical editor Dr. Roshini Raj tackles your most personal and provocative questions. Send 'em to Dr. Raj at whattheyuck@health.com. Q: My pee is suddenly bright green, even though I drink tons of water. What’s going on? Normally, the color of your urine should be between almost clear and dark yellow. Neon-green pee may look alarming, but it’s usually just a sign that you’re getting too much of certain vitamins - B vitamins, in particular - and that your body is flushing out the excess. That said, if you notice it regularly, talk to your doc about whether you should cut back on your B intake. Copyright Health Magazine 2011 |

Never had this problem. I'm probably lacking in a whole bunch, even for how fit and healthy I eat.
Green could also just be from eating asparagus.
usually CRANBERRY JUICE & DRIED cranberries eaten regularly help to flush out the kidneys

I ate a sack of licorice one night and my poop was bright green.
That's because you're greedy. Hee hee.
I agree... I ate a bunch, well a lot of black jellybeans one year and everything came out bright green. I thought it was hysterical.
One day my young daughter came in from school and went straight to the bathroom. She came out very scared, said her urine was green. I had put a green toilet freshner in the tank.
Eating a hefty bowl of Fruity Pebbles will give you technicolor poopies.
When did it become acceptable to use words like pee or poop? When I was a kid, I would have been sent to my room for using either vulgarity.
I am asking seriously........I don't like it.
No, you cannot be serious.
I'm with you- tiny words for tiny minds!
Maybe it's an indication not to take vitamins?
A study shows that people that take vitamins on regular basis die about 5 years earlier than people that don't take vitamins at all.
Red Bull makes your urine green™
drinking to many monster energy drinks will do that also
Mine's been a light green /yellow for a while, and I don't know why.
It's been that color before, but I think it has something to do with the vitamins I'm taking.
When ever I'm lazy of tired and stuff, it comes out that colour. But when I'm active and sleep well, it gets yellow again.
I didn't tell my parents yet, because it's not that big of a deal, but I am happy to know that this is quite normal.
Explanation for the "peeing of the green"? It's Saint Patrick's Day!
