So I've been taking some pills for the last couple of days and I notice my stool have turned into the color of the pill! It's a dirty yellow color. Same goes for my urine. Is it bad intaking too much? Even though the instruction says to take 1 after every meal, 3 times a day. Is there a color your poop SHOULD be? I'm serious! I also see some white spots on my finger nails (calcium deposits maybe?), is that from taking to much or not enough calcium?

that's from having to much calcium, more zinc helps that out. it sounds like your taking in more than you should. i only tak one-a-day's. eat more bananas to help with the calcium buildups.

Well, I'm just doing what the box says, 3 a day. What if you take the pill without a meal? Good, bad, or doesn't matter?

From what I've learned from biochemistry:
One capsule/pill per day is enough. Your body can only take in a certain amount of vitamins per day. Everything beyond that certain threshold limit goes straight out.

Easy english: You can't supercharge yourself by taking a lot of pills per day.


Also, what crappy, old brand did you buy? No vitamin bottles nowadays recommends an intake of 3 times a day. You must be living in the past.




BACK TO THE FUTURE BITCH!






If you're interested, I can tell you the name of the chemical that makes your urine yellow. I suggest you drink more water.

Save yourself the time and pain.
Next time buy the ones that says "1 per day".

I can tell you all that nobody beats my immunesystem. Throughout my entire life, I've hardly been sick at all.
(thanks to my daily vitaminpills of course)

Ironically, it's from a company called FUTUREBIOTICS.

I see a lot of other products that say take more than one a day. I do drink a lot of water. Like this morning, I drank some so that I had to go pee in less than an hour, and it was still yellow. What's the link to yours?

Unless my professor lied to me, there's no need to take more than 1 pill per day.

However, the FUTUREBIOTICS company that you mentioned might have manufactured the tables/capsules/pills differently (less concentrated), so that it has to be taken over 3 meals.
Do as what it says on the bottle.

You won't die or something if you take them 2 times a day instead of 3. You just won't get the maximized effect.




EASY LIVING. 1 PILL A DAY!
