Discover how urine color can be used as an indicator of what’s going on deeper inside your body.
0:00 Introduction: Urine colors explained
0:34 Clear urine
1:14 Normal urine color
1:34 Red urine
2:11 Orange urine
2:42 Blue urine/green urine
3:02 Dark brown urine
3:11 Foamy urine
3:55 Cloudy urine
Today, we’re going to talk about how the color of your urine can tell you what’s going on inside your body. Urine is filtered blood. Nephrons recycle good materials back into the blood and remove toxins and waste through your urine.
If you have clear urine, you’re drinking too much water. Too much water dilutes sodium and makes you dehydrated. Hydration is achieved with the right amount of electrolytes and the right amount of water. Only drink water when thirsty, especially when you’re not working out or sweating.
Normal urine color should be amber, yellow, or straw-colored. The yellow color comes from a pigment in your blood.
Red or pink urine usually signifies blood. This can be caused by a kidney stone, infection, or something more serious. Menstruation can also contaminate the urine, turning it pink. Always seek help from your doctor if you suspect that you have blood in your urine.
Orange urine or fluorescent yellow urine is usually the result of synthetic vitamins, especially B vitamins. It can also be the result of dyes from certain medications. Orange urine can also signify underlying gallbladder or liver issues, but this is not very common.
Blue urine is caused by methylene blue, certain medications, and artificial colors. Sometimes, asparagus can turn your urine green!
Dark brown urine means you’re dehydrated and need more fluids. Very dark brown urine could potentially point toward a liver problem.
If your urine has a normal color but is foamy, your protein consumption may be too high. Foamy urine may also potentially be caused by chronic kidney disease. Foamy urine often occurs in diabetics. If you have foamy urine, try cutting your protein intake to see if it helps.
Cloudy urine usually signifies infection. Most UTIs are caused by E. coli bacteria. Too much sugar in the diet can feed this bacteria.

Thanks for watching! I hope this explains how the color of your urine can be used to help identify health concerns. I’ll see you in the next video.
A few years ago my dad phoned me up panicking about his urine being pink/red.
I asked him if he had urgency or pain when going or a higher temperature thinking it could be a UTI. He said no I feel fine, none of that.
I asked if his appetite was ok. He said yep fine in fact I ate nearly a whole jar of pickled beetroot earlier on.
I literally said “think about it dad”.
After a long pause he burst out laughing and said “oh it’s the beetroot”!
I said yes dad, cut back on the beetroot and see how you “mend”.
🤦🏻♀️😂
I figured that out when I was a kid. I would drink the beet juice and the pee was much darker than pink. It was dark red, and too much purple Kool-Aid made for green pee
I forgot about that!!!!
😂😂😂
I once pooped and was horrified to see how red it was. I thought I had cancer and was going to die, then I remembered I had a big bag of Nibs (red licorice), Whew!
@@anthonya2349 I've eaten enough beets on on a few occasions where the poop was bright red and the color leeched out into the water and made it look like blood coming from the poop. 🤣
Praise God for allowing us all to have Dr Berg 🙏
Amen
I agree. Brilliant doctor
YES AMEN GOD BLESS HIM AND WHO TEACHING HIM TO BE LIKE THAT
His videos and community posts helped me much more than any doctor I've visited in real life.
Let's not get carried away
Reminder: red can also be due to eating a lot of beets!
Ha. I remember one time I ate a bag of beet chips and later on when I went to the bathroom, I freaked out until I remembered the beets. Startling red color. Beautiful I might add.
@@sstills951😆
I learned that when I moved to poland 😂
Excess Iodine too orange- red!
I thought i was dying one time... Felt fine but the waste was red like blood and i freaked out lol. It was beets 😭😂phew.
Thank you Dr. berg. The world is a better place with you in it.
Sure thing.
@@Drberg we love you! im way healthier now by watching you than going to my md. ❤
@@DrbergDoes eating beetroots affect urine colour? Love ❤️ your informative videos.
*MR OBALAR* ON CZcams CURED ME TOTALLY ❤.
The only doctor I trust!!
Thank you for your trust and support. Appreciate it.
Absolutely.
Absolutely right
❤exactly 💯!!!!!
🙄
Dr. Berg… The doctor that’s always on time with a video as if he has a secret drone watching you
😅
I’ve started to take vitamins on the daily and I started to noticed that my urine is a dyed color. I’m glad to hear that it isn’t anything too crazy
I always tell people know what exactly what you are taking. Do consistent and regular blood work. And cycle off supplements. Taking preferably every other day or at least breaking every single weekend Friday to Sunday and resuming Monday. Also try to water fast for 36 hours as well during the off weekend
And most supplements are meant to be taken only 3 months at a time. Which is just about how often you should do extensive blood work.
The B12 supplements I took about a year ago used to produce the orangey colour. It was quite disturbing at first. Thankfully, the ones I take now don't do that.
Riboflavin is what makes it bright yellow (flav in Latin means yellow).
Might want to “lay off” the vitamins for awhile
I like the new look of your videos. Good background and no filter. And the weight gain suits you 🤗
Agree! That, and his sense of humor always makes for an excellent health lesson 🌟
I like him with the added weight too.
Hello, sorry to bother you, but to be honest, we haven't met before. I found your profile here and I kind of like your sense of reasoning,I hope you don't mind me knowing you more?
Dr. Berg is a Genius! I can’t thank God enough for showing me what this man can bring into my life to educate me for overall better health! I’ve been following him since 2018 and he’s truly been a blessing!🙏🏽Because of his profound 🌟teaching, I feel better, and others that I’ve shared his invaluable knowledge with are so very thankful as well!! Dr. Berg! Please don’t stop teaching the truth, spreading the good news in health and having a heart for the people in this world! Blessings continually sir!👏🏽🙌🏽❤️
Same, he's amazing. So much help & advice ❤😊
It's too personal but I need to say this: I just peed and the colour was really putting me off. I came over to youtube and got this recommendation. Wow

Dear Dr.Eric , hope you are doing well. i am waleed from Afghanistan. i have been watching many of your videos and guess what? you are suck a humble person. and you advice us from your bottom of your heart. and i can feel you do care about human being. honestly thanks a lot. Allah (God) bless you.
I want to thank Dr. Berg for the tip on adding salt to water. I've struggled with a faster heart rate for years and it was largely due to dehydration. I wasn't holding on to sodium/electrolytes.. Adding a pinch of salt to my water was the key as opposed to guzzling water with no electrolytes. Thank you!
That backround is solid, very pleasing to the eye and fitting to your channel. Thank you once more for a great video.
Thank you for updating your inserted video of eating protein.
This video is so important, with helpful and practical information. Simple and easy way to identify big health problems. Thank you!!❤
I'm really glad you found the video helpful!
When I am thirsty I drink, when I am hungry I eat, it's so simple.
Dr.Berg should be given the Noble Prize 🏆 or any bigger than that highest ever recognition world wide for doing what he does. Following you for about 3 yrs Eric Sir, ur an absolute fountain of knowledge. Thank you for being you and doing what you do. Forever Grateful 🙏🏻
I deeply appreciate your positive feedback.
I went from foamy yellow to normal yellow. Thank you for your healthy keto plan.
I diagnosed myself with Rhabdo once because my urine was very dark like coffee. Was told to go to the ER immediately and had to stay in the the hospital for 5 days. Fun times.
How did it go?
Thanks for sharing your experience here. Hope everything's okay there.
@@lmusima3275 Welp, I'm alive lol
@@Drberg Yeah, over did it in the gym. All is well, now.
@@Drberg I wanted to know if u have a video on cancer and a veterinarian medicine imerctin to heal it.
Thank you Dr Berg this is very helpful

Thank you Doctor Burg 🤲
Thank you for Sharing Dr. Berg ❤ God Bless you
No problem. Glad to share this.
I used to have pretty bad foamy urine, but since doing intermittent fasting I've noticed the amount of foam has dramatically reduced. My protein intake has definitely increased a lot since reducing carbs, but its still improved a lot, like maybe 10% as much foam as from before
Same for me : fried potatoes => foamy dark urine. Potatoes, pasta => foam. The amount of steak seem irrelevant to the foaminess of my urine.
Does it mean urine shouldn't have foam at all or what amount is alarming
This is a GOOD video. Thanks, Dr. Berg for the insights. You ROCK!
Thanks. Happy you found it useful!
To prevent kidney stones, my urologist recommend Drink 2.5 to 3 liters a day, and taking potassium citrate tablets. Some times I feel bloated from too much water. I’m trying to adjust now, and after seeing your video made me realize some point. Thanks.
Thank you for teaching knowledge you know in an easy way.
Something i think should be clarified, the time of day and your level of activity play an important factor. Your first urination of the morning is going to be the most concentrated but also the best for a sample if you think something is wrong. If you are highly active and water hydrating more than needed, you will have a more dilute urine.
Dr. Berg, please try to be specific about the times one should be observing urine.
Thank you!! This is very interesting and you answered a question that I had with the synthetic B vitamins urine colour. I was always wondering about it. 🙏🙏👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks again, for this! 🙏🏽
Not a problem at all.
Hello, sorry to bother you, but to be honest, we haven't met before. I found your profile here and I kind of like your sense of reasoning,I hope you don't mind me knowing you more?
I’m guessing that we will next be introducing William Ruben?
For some reason when I was in school, I was always assigned the end process items to do my lectures.
Thank you for your sharing this ❤❤❤
Glad I could assist.
Indeed having Dr. Berg is really a blessing from above
Thanks 🙏, it informative to know.
Dr. Eric , great video , I learned much , thanks
Very glad it helps.
Information is valuable, saving!
This is truly amazing!
2 chanels are not necessary because your thumbnails show us what the video is about.
Viewers can watch thise videos that interest them.
Personally, I like farm videos. Repairing equipment is part of running a farm.
I'll probably never restore a tractor, but it's still interesting information. - For example, I've always been at a loss regarding why drive-wheels spin opposite directions when lifted. One of your videos showed how the differential works. It finally clicked for me.
Very informative, thank you
Thank you Dr. Berg. I Love all your videos so much, I am diabetic, I also have kidney disease, medullary sponge kidney , I have had a UTI since September 2023. I see a Urologist, Endocrinologist, Nephrologist , & my OB. But every time I finish my antibiotics the UTI comes back. I was hospitalized in February 2024 and again in April 2024. I got sepsis from the UTI. I thought I was going to die, my blood pressure was extremely high. I experienced head to toe body shaking for 2 days the first time and a day & 1/2 the second hospitalization. I had uncontrollable nausea for days, fever, chest pain, irregular heartbeat, I was extremely hot 🥵, headache, dehydration, and a rash on several parts of my body. Mostly on my face. I really love all your videos that are specific to woman’s health. Any recommendations for a natural way to avoid UTI’s will be greatly appreciated.
* doctor berg can you please do a video on blood type diet or your thoughts.
Thank you for this information Dr Berg
You're welcome. Hope this will help you.
Next video request what is mct oil.
What side effect use mct oil, butter and coffee? Please make this video good or bad.
Upload a video of proper ways to break prolonged fasting, what should we eat, when should we eat.
I once was taking meds for a prostate infection that turned my urine blue, it was pretty cool because if you neglected to flush it looked like you had just put in a new Ty-D-Bowl. Would suggest however you wear colored shorts.
Gid Bless you Dr Berg. You are an Angel for all of us. Thank you!❤
Thank you for your comment. Stay safe and healthy.
Glad I could assist.
Great video! What is the “poison and bad stuff?”
Sharing this great information. Thank you, Dr. Berg💞💞...
Glad I could assist.
Holy Bagel!
Thank you Dr. Berg!
Urine is filtered blood?
Never knew that.
Always thought urine was filtered beverage fluids.
Great Basic Info. 😊
Happy you found it useful!
My urine sometimes becomes cloudy if I've eaten a lot of carbs/sugar. This is part of what keeps me on a fairly low carb diet if not keto because it's always concerning. I've experience it on/off for years and it's not from a UTI 🤷♀️
Thank Tou Doc for the video❤
YOUR urine wheel makes a lot more sense....Thanks💛
❤ excellent all your videos are exclusive nutshell of information thanks 💯

Candida is also a bladder/urine issue, especially in women & diabetics. People are yeast factories and it only take a small amount of sugar or concentrated simple carbs to set off a candida yeast fungal overgrowth process in gut, bladder & respiratory pathway. Anything mold based (cheeses, yeasty foods) or sugar based (milk, fruits, desserts) will feed this process.
Female here and I used to suffer extreme UTi’s. I feared to pee. Blooded flooded out as well with extreme pain. So glad they eventually stopped somehow on their own.
Hello, sorry to bother you, but to be honest, we haven't met before. I found your profile here and I kind of like your sense of reasoning,I hope you don't mind me knowing you more?
D-manose is the best remedy. 2g a day with water should do it, it always helped me. There are pills, but I prefer the clean powder, since cranberries and vitamin C can make it worse.
Thank you Dr.BERG urine, good 👍 information
Sure thing.
You are the best doctor in the world ❤❤❤
It's much appreciated!
thank you dr.
Magical filters?... I'd say they are an incredible design .... of course I'm sure that's what you might have meant. Great video and good info! Thanks and keep em coming.
Glad you like the video. Thanks for watching.
Hey Dr. Berg, could you talk about pain radiating from the upper part of the stomach to the back.
Wow. I always thought clear urine meant that you are healthy and well-hydrated. I had no idea it was a negative thing.
Excellent! Thank you, Dr. Berg 👌
I'm so grateful.
however if there is no infection and its foamy its the lymph system filtration , urine with enough snow , normaly they have or gonna get a health issue sooner or later
if someone got a health issue like a chronic infection of mycoplasma and virus like a auto immune and manage to open filtration , then juice out everything with detox symptoms , basicaly he get rid of the auto immune , forever . thats why old healers did because they dint know any better
Thank you Dr.Berg good information
Hey! You're very welcome!
Excellent - thank you!
You're welcome, my pleasure, @leahansel4596!

You are welcome, glad you enjoy it!
Can you make a video about coming off of a keto diet properly if it was just used as a weight loss tool? Thanks!
Thankyou Sir🙏

Number 1 is me! Don’t have the time to watch this now. I saved it for later. Thanks doc!!
Rhabdomyolysis is characterized clinically by the triad of myalgias, muscle weakness, and red to brown urine due to myoglobinuria [1]. Biochemically, several serum muscle enzymes are elevated, including CK. The degree of muscle pain and other symptoms varies widely.
I was at one time barely in the diabetic type 2 range for only 6 months, and I was taking statins for cholesterol. ( also took Ubiquinol )
After an easy for me, 4 mile hike, urinating at home, I had red/ orangish brown urine, I realized that I hadRhabdomyolysis- Compartment syndrome in my thigh muscle.
I tried 3 different statins, they all caused severe thigh mucele weakness during easy hikes/ walks.
My physician had not even recommended CoQo10 they have been prescribing while on statins, in Germany for over 30 years.
it elevate also enzymes lhat supposed to be liver enzymes but they are not liver enzymes only
This is so amazing. Was checking my urine earlier and I received this notification. APTTMH. Thx Doc. ❤❤❤
In general it's a good idea to take a quick look at the things going into the body and the things coming out. Sweat and blood tend to not vary that much in color normally, but feces and urine can vary a lot. I don't personally have a good sense of when I'm thirsty, so I obsessively watch my urine to help me figure it out. I'll add a little bit of salt and potassium to some water if I'm down by a lot so that I can drink more without worrying as much about water intoxication.
Happy you found it useful!
Very informative. Tfs.
Thanks for your comment. Hope you learned something new here.
Happy you found it useful!
Can you tell us how to tell if a vitamin B Multi is synthetic? Also, what is the best vitamin B multi?
Years ago I got freaked-out when my urine was pink...went to sick bay and was told I had runners bladder from pounding the pavement too much. So I back my running distance and allowed another rest day, and voila. Those low-quality vitamin B supplements are easy to resolve, and so to is allowing yourself to get a bit dehydrated...you may not feel it, and it may not be immediately apparent, but you're pee will be quick to show it. Great information!
Normal and healthy color is clear, and no health issues or missed actions. Lemonade, however, is still healthy a bit but a sign of lacking minerals, taking some drugs, or dehydrating status(most common).
cloudy is usually crystals, like calcium oxalate or struvite.
❤ Thanks alot dr Berg for always useful and precious information ❤❤❤❤
You are very welcome, glad you find it helpful.
Dark Brown here.
The energy drinks with around 180mg to 270mg per can depending on brand and size without any water included is becoming a problem daily for me.

I'm a type 1 diabetic and my urine has been foamy for about 5 years now. I was wondering what it meant. Thanks for the information
fungi or if you juiced a lot and cuted mucus making foods like dairy gluten etc then its filtration of lymph system
