After taking Becosules capsule for a week, my urine turned bright yellow. Is it a side effect or normal?

Dear Reader,

When you take Becosule, it contains vitamin B2 (riboflavin), which is responsible for that bright yellow or fluorescent yellow colour in your urine. This happens because riboflavin is a water-soluble vitamin, meaning your body absorbs only what it needs and then flushes out the extra through urine. The excess vitamin gives the urine that noticeable bright colour.

 Key points:

• The colour change can appear within a few hours after taking the capsule.
• It’s harmless and doesn’t mean anything is wrong with your kidneys or liver.
• The intensity of the yellow colour can vary depending on how much water you drink. If you’re a bit dehydrated, the colour may look even brighter.
• Once you stop or miss a dose, your urine will go back to its usual colour within a day or so.

 What you can do:

• Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and dilute the colour.
• Continue taking Becosule as prescribed. There’s no need to stop because of this.

In summary, bright yellow urine after taking Becosule is completely normal and simply indicates that your body is excreting excess vitamin B2. It’s not a side effect or a health concern, so you can continue your supplement without worry.
