[edit] Urobilin comparison

Is this the same thing as urobilin? —Keenan Pepper 05:13, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Good question. This page says, "Urochrome was the original name given to the pigment thought to give urine its color. It is now known that several related pigments are responsible, so the original name has been dropped. Urine is yellow because of urobilins, specifically d-urobilin, i-urobilin, l- stercobilin, and possibly others. Urobilins are composed of four modified pyrrole rings connected by methylene bridges." Not sure if the article needs to be updated or if the link is wrong. -GilbertoSilvaFan 01:23, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vitamin effect

Why when you take vitimins your urine is yellow after that. can the body not get rid of the hemoglobin by itself? -Unknown

I'm guessing that perhaps some excess vitamins may also have colouring effects on the urine. Not sure. Tyciol 10:37, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
