when its yellow it has extra protein in it and when its clear your body has used all the protein in your body

Well at times I drink 1 pint of water during each class period...50-85mins

Most of the time I can't tell the difference from that and what I drank 10min before...Perhaps I will just throw in some protein shakes every other class

Your urine is yellow because of all the wastes/poisons that your body is excreting. When you drink a lot of water, it is yellow at first, but then turns white. This is because it has washed all those toxins out.

When you take a multi-vitamin, it is yellow at first because of the abundance of vitamins that you have just put in your body. The liver can't metabolize all of them at once, therefore they are excreted through the urine along with the toxins.

Urine is made up of water and waste products (salt, urea and urobilins). Water, salt and urea are all colourless. Only urobilins are yellow. If you drink a lot of water, your urine is diluted so it appears clear. If you are dehydrated, there is less water and, thus a higher concentration, of urobilins in your urine, so it will be darker.

IT Is Yellow because if someone left a sample lying around you wouldn't get it mixed up with your coke and accidentally drink it

The only part you need to know is that

A. If its white your hydrated

B. If its yellow your dehydrated

Drink drink and drink

If its always yellow, your wasting your money on protein and the like cuz your body cannot assimilate it cuz you aint hydrating yourself properly

SO SORT IT OUT!!!
