Question Title: Suppliments clouding urine?

Forum: The Urology Forum
Topic: Kidney/Urinary Stones


I take CoQ10 (60 mg/day) for general health measurers.
I've noticed for a couple hours after taking it, my urine
is cloudy then clears later. Is this normal for some
suppliments? I'm also taking grape seen extract. Any info
would be helpful. Thank you !!!

Dear Bob,

The supplements you describe are commonly used to increase energy. CoQ10 is a supplement that is used in many reactions in the body. Many supplements that are taken orally can cloud or change the color of urine.I have researched this particular drug in the Physician’s Desk Reference (PDR). There are no complications of this drug cited. I am unable to find any information on the effects of grape extract on the urine. Therefore I recommend that you use these extracts and supplements in moderation .
