I currently take a mulitvitamin, a B-complex vitamin, and chromium every day with a meal and the result is bright yellow pee. When e I take a dose (500mg) of metformin at the same time I take my vitamins, my pee doesn't change color at all. Does met interfere with the vitamin absorption or is this normal?

Thanks for the good info! I will start taking a calcium supplement TODAY.
You always have such helpful information.

Now that you mention it, I think I recall reading something like that before. I wasn't taking met when I first read it so I guess I didn't pay much attention. LOL oops!
Do you have any idea how much calcium I need to take? I eat yogurt for breakfast everyday I wonder if this is enough? If not, I don't mind supplimenting with pills, I just need to know how much.
I know the pee color change is due to the B vitamins so it makes sense the color doesn't change when I take met with it. Do you think this is a reliable enough test to make sure they are getting absorbed?

Talk to your Dr or pharmacist about your calcium dosage. When your Dr runs your bloodwork (should be 1 to 2 times per year), he needs to be running a B12 test as well. That's the way to see if your body is getting the B12 it needs.

Thanks Christy, I'll talk to my doc. I have an appt at the beginning of Sept and I'll inquire about it. So far I know he hasn't checked calcium or B12, but then again I just started. We'll see what he says.
