Q: On the Pak, my piss is bright yellow, is this normal?

A: Yes. We call this "Pak Piss". Not only is it normal, it's a good sign, indicative of ample water soluble vitamin ingestion, namely the B vitamins. Remember, think of Animal Pak as nutritional "insurance". When you're getting rid of the excess B vitamins (among other nutrients) through your piss, it means you're tanks are completely filled up. Think about the excess this way. If you're stuck in the desert, and you can only fill your glass of water once, do you fill it halfway? Just below the top? No. You'll fill it till the glass overflows. That way, you know you've got an absolutely full glass. Think of the Pak the same way. Pissing out excess means you're topped off. If it really bothers ya that much, just drink some more water.

What i have found is that you should only have the pak piss once a day if you are drinking enough water, i have a suspicion that if you continually piss bright yellow all day that it can aid in the production of kidney stones and nobody really wants that. just drink a lot of water and you will be fine
