It is my opinion, of which I am confident, that the color of my urine is a reflection of the severity of my state of illness and an index of treatment response.
I hydrate myself the same throughout the day, everyday. I do not take extra vitamin B supplements other than what is contained in my multivitamin. Even when I took supranutritional dosages of B vitamins, my urine was clear, everyday. It isn't until I respond to treatment that it changes color and becomes yellow. The difference is striking, and in consideration of my powers of observation, I must say that I believe this change in color is a reflection of the improvement in the severity of the depressive state. My guess is that it is an increase in nitrogen turnover that produces this shift in the color of urine to display more yellow urochrome.
I would love to know the physiology going on here.
