Vitamin pill assimilation

Bad idea to take vits . Find out what it is you
are having difficulty assimilating then try to
figure what to do about it .
Old ppl can't take much B vits , their body
is telling them to CHANGE , slow down GROWTH
So don't fret if B's are not doin anythin .
ONe book said 6 months you'll need B's .
Smokers get Niacin from smoke .
The only assential is Vit C and it's not a
VITAMIN ( not an amino acid )
You're body needs starch to make glucose ( 98%
of your nutrition ) .

I did a short fast aand tried to get into fat burn by starving sugar (
i ussually do OJ w/ sugar ) .
it's not painfull , if you have no prior
conditions .
61 , white male ,ideal body wt , no conditions .

Overeating is the cause of many diseases .
if agravates the intestinal flora , makes it
fluff off . It's vital .
fasting helps it do it's work .
Some ppl are laacking , you can take LACTINEX
for the L.A./L.B. if you drink milk .

Hi,

I've just started taking some multivitamins. As is
so often the case, my urine becomes brightly coloured
after a couple of hours or so. I've always thought,
"Oh, it's the B-vitamins that do that." However, I'm
wondering exactly how.

Is it that my body assimilates the vitamins in the
pills that quickly and then immediately excretes the
excess? Or is it that assimilation begins and then
the body gets rid of other colourful stuff in the
system more quickly as a result?

It's the B2 vitamin in particular that makes the urine more
yellow/orange. Not sure why though.

I'm not really interested in why. I'm just
curious as to how fast the vitamins are
assimilated.

Was the colour in my urine directly from the
pills, or was it from other substances that
are excreted once my body is assimilating
the vitamins from the pills?

Any nutritionists here?

Caroteen in the pills.

COMMENT:
As noted, you're seeing a metabolite of B2, which is yellow. Yes, this
is a good index of how fast all the you take vitamins hit your blood
stream, and how fast the excess of those that are water-soluble get
dumped overboard by the kidneys, when they hit the blood in large
amounts.

That's how fast ALL nutrients in a meal are assimilated, sorted,
metabolized, stored and otherwise dealt with, also. Pretty fast. 6-8
hours, and it's over with.

Heh.
I was thinking the same thing...
I thought she was better than that.

The bright yellow color in the urine is from vitamin B2.

And this is WHY B vitamins need to be taken daily......

Well, they don't. And neither does vitamin C. Just because your body
dumps excess over stored amounts fast, doesn't mean it dumps the amount
IN your stores just as fast. That's a common mistake that's been around
a very long time.

Never make the mistake of thinking something your body needs to
survive, has ONE excretion half-life. In general, that's NEVER going to
be right.

For vitamin C, if you exceed your renal threshhold, the half-life of
the extra is measured in hours. But once you get down to the top of
your storage level the excretion and use half-life goes up to days, and
then (as you eat into your stores) at least 3 weeks.

B vitamins act similarly. The times are different but the principles
are the same. If you got no B vitamins at all beyond one megadose
tablet every couple of weeks, you'd do just fine. Amounts absorbed at
one time (10 to 20 mg) compared with amounts used in a day (a 1 mg or
so), compared with body stores of B vitamins (many 10's of mg for most
of them), gives you the general time scale idea.

Thanks, SBH.

Not easy to know how fast .
Several reasons .
Most old ppl have trouble assimilating
B's for their body does not need them .
So a healthy person takes B's every day
their body will try to dump 99% .
Dumping crapis what "overloads"
the body . Eating very light makes your
body last longer , less disease .
B's go together with internal growth
hormones , both go down naturally
with old age . Like they should .
The important thing is to get a trace amt
and notice a clinical response .
This is the scientific method !
If you have a deficiency but also a
internal "block" , you will find the block by taking
trace amts . A B every month is too much ,
it will not work .
The only way is to take it in food , very little food
and then you'll solve the mystery .
I.E. isolate the food that can give you the missing B then take
ONLY that food ,
take data .
A clue , those who eat very litle and most carbs
also need a bit of B's to assimilate carbs .
CARBS have plenty B's !! and trace !!
Pefect for the experiment ...

No it is NOT an indication of ...
Blood stream .
There could be a block anywhere of
12 places !
Clinical response is easier ....

SBH knows what he's writting about
and does an excellent job writting it .
I did not find one "off track" word !
right on !
Probably a Doctor ..
