When taking lots of different Herbs does urine turn a different color

[unclear]

I have notice that my urine is turning a darker color with a lot of sediment in it, I have no back pain unless I am bending over for a long time. I am taking lots of different herbs. Thank You, Aloha Unclear.

I have taken a lot of herbs but the only time I have seen a difference in urine color was when I took vitamins (B's and C).

In traditional Chinese medicine the color of urine it thought to reveal the heat that is in the body. When it is dark it usually indicates a lot of heat and toxicity.

Not a herbalist but read that Goldenseal can turn urine somewhat dark.

Funny you should ask that. I was talking spiffy topic of urine color two weeks ago with my nephrologist. The urine can change colors for a lot of reasons, including metabolic syndromes like Maple syrup urine disease, porphyria, glucose or excess iron in urine; Rifampin antibiotic immediatly turns the urine bright red. Many OTC drugs may also impact urine color.

If you are taking cleansing type herbs, then yes the urine may change colors usually golden or dark because the herbs are cleaning out toxins, poisons, sediment depending on the herbs you are taking. B vitamins will also turn the urine a golden color as B and c vitamins are both water soluable and must be taken more than once per day.

Hope this helps.
