Question

The vitamin which is generally excreted in urine by humans is

• A. Vitamin A
• B. Vitamin K
• C. Vitamin B
• D. Vitamin E

Answer 1

The correct option is C Vitamin B

Vitamin B${}_{12}$ is a water soluble vitamin that is excreted through urine when you consume too much. You may experience change in urine color while your body works to excrete excess B${}_{12}$, which may be normal and can reverse itself. Depending on your hydration status, normal urine color can range from a light yellow to an amber color. Consuming large quantities of foods rich in B${}_{12}$can cause your urine to become a bright green color. Additionally, taking a B${}_{12}$ supplement, vitamin B complex or multivitamin containing vitamin B${}_{12}$ may cause your urine to turn dark yellow or orange. This stems from the yellow coloring in the over-the-counter supplement that your body excretes. Thus, option C is correct.
