Started using USN Cyto Power HR. Noticed during long and post rides pee is blood red/brown (using grape flavour).

 

Does anyone know what gunk may be in this product to do this, or had similar experience?

Do they use colourants derived from beets in that product? Some individuals will have dark/red urine after consuming beets.

I've had that before after a long ride, although i assumed it was because of dehydration. Try and delay your number 1 until after you have rehydrated with enough water.

Was about to say that if i pee'd red i would be hearing alarm bells ringing very loud...the kind that say "Go see your Dr, Go see your Dr, ..."

 

 

Did not know that about beet, maybe will add some beetroot to the menu tonight..

 

How much beetroot must you eat to see the red in your pee?

 

How much beet must be added to to a supplement to see red pee??

 

[insert Alarm bells ringing in the background] sound

32gi lime flavour makes things nearly luminous green - thought i was super-dehydrated 1st time i saw it.

if it bothers you, stop doing it. Maybe it is you, and not the product?

however, as you were on a long ride, the dehydration theory has some merits.
