- B5 & urine colour
- Posted by AnonRD
Hi,
2 months after finishing my Roaccutane course and my acne's started
coming back. Just in my T-zone and nowhere near as severe as before. But
it's not a good time for me to cope with this as I move house and start a
new job in a month.
While I'm waiting for an appointment with my NHS derm I've been giving B5 a
go. I've just been taking 3g of Solgar vegi-caps and 1 High Potency B
complex a day, and to my surprise it seems to be working after only 5 days.
The only *problem* being my urine has turned really bright almost dayglo
yellow/green!! Does this mean I'm taking too much? Is it doing me any
damage? Is it normal?
TIA.

No, that's perfectly normal...you're not taking too much. I think it's the
B3 in the B-complex that cases that.

It's not the B5 - it's the B2 (Riboflavin) in the B-Complex that's causing your urine to turn bright green/yellow. It's perfectly
normal and harmless and happens to everyone who takes synthetic B2.
Good luck with the B5 - it really does work. If your B- Complex contains large amounts of B6 and/or B12 you might want to see my
post from a few days ago titled 'Important B5 Info'.

post).

The odds are very low (anecdotally, judging from posts of hundreds of
users, I'd guess about half a percent) to infinitesimal that you can go
off B5 and remained clear. Unlike accutane. So I'd go on accutane.

That was my thinking too. Plus I'll save a load of money not having to buy
thousands of B5 capsules. You can't beat £6.40 GBP for 3 months supply of
accutane!
Thanks

Riboflavin (B2) doesn't store in large amounts so it flushes out in the urine.
That's why you can't megadose on riboflavin.

But Accutane has a lot of bad side effect and long time side effects.
