The yellow is from water-soluble B vitamins passing thru. It shows you took
enough that your body has (for that moment) enough of them, and is spilling the
excess through the kidneys.
A better test for pill solubility is to use vinegar, and you don't need more
than just enough to cover whatever pill you are testing. Room temp is fine, I
think, although you could put a small bottle with vinegar and pill in a 100
degree water bath, if you want. Should dissolve in about an hour, less is
better, more is suspect, unless time-release formula.

Supplements may make urine more yellow, but that has nothing to do with the
good the supplements do as they pass through the body. Faith G.

Hi Faith. I do realize a cup of water is different from hot stomach acid.
But I was under the impression (and maybe wrongly so) that there is alot stuff
out there in pill or tablet form that will not break down and go right through
our bodies. I am open to correction and all thing possible.
There seems to be a weath of knowledge on the list and at the moment I'm a
sponge trying to soak it up.
