My urine is a dark yellowish color, what does that mean?

Answer by  Darry (3853)

Typically the main cause of dark and smelly urine is dehydration. Most people fail to ingest adequate amounts of water. Try increasing the amount of water that you drink. Additionally, the use of vitamins can darken the color of urine as your body excretes the portions it does not need.
