a question for those that are taking the Thorne Methyl Guard Plus Active B6,B9, B12 product
my poop colour has gone a bit 'fluro yellow/orange' (mmmmm almost similar to my wee colour) since I started this product - has anyone else noticed this / had this?
I take 2-3 capsules per day (the upper dose)
When I was doing lingual B12 (different brand) and high dose of P5P, my wee was quite yellow (very typical when you are supplementing B's)

That's the excess riboflavin (B-2). One capsule will transform urine color. Two or three capsules is presumably enough to also transform stool color.

Gabes,
When it ends up in stool that suggests that you are not absorbing all of it into the bloodstream, so the surplus remains in the GI tract.

http://www.nutrientsreview.com/vitamins ... lavin.htmlVitamin B2 supplements can give urine and stool fluorescent bright yellow or orange color (flavinuria), which causes no harm [1,12]

Increased gut permeability refers to objects passing into the bloodstream that would normally not be capable of being absorbed into the bloodstream. But riboflavin is normally absorbed well, so gut permeability should be irrelevant to B-2 absorption.
However, if fat malabsorption is a problem, then more fat soluble vitamins (including B-2) would remain unabsorbed in the gut (even if leaky gut is a problem), because they would be bound by the fat that cannot be absorbed. So, IMO you may have found a cost effective way to measure fat malabsorption. So when your stool shows less fluorescent color, fat absorption has improved.
