Weird side effect from new powder?? Vivid dreams and salty taste?
So I started taking this new greens powder blend (the one with the gummy vitamins mixed in, I think?) about a week ago. First few days were fine, but now I'm having the craziest vivid dreams. Like, I woke up convinced I was a carrot in a previous life. Also, everything tastes a little... salty? Even my morning smoothie. Anyone else get this from a powder? Is it the vitamins or am I just losing it?
Omg yes! I had the same thing with a powdered vitamin C mix last month. My dreams were so intense I started journaling them. And my taste buds went haywire for like 2 weeks. I think it's the B vitamins? Or maybe just your body adjusting. Drink lots of water and maybe take it earlier in the day. Also, try not to worry – it passed for me. Namaste 🙏
Med student here. Vivid dreams can be linked to B6 or B12, especially in high doses. The salty taste is less common but could be from mineral content (like magnesium or zinc) in the powder. Not dangerous, but if it persists, get your electrolytes checked. Also, bright yellow urine is usually just riboflavin (B2) – totally harmless. You're not alone, OP. I've seen a few case reports. But hey, I'm not a doctor yet, so if you're worried, see one.
Dude, I thought I was the only one! I've been using a berry-flavored powder with added vitamins and my pee looks like neon yellow Gatorade. And I swear my coffee tastes metallic now. I just roll with it – makes life more interesting. But seriously, has anyone figured out if it's the gummy vitamins or the powder itself? I'm too lazy to read the label.
Thanks everyone! Glad I'm not alone. I'll try taking it in the morning and up my water intake. And yeah, the neon pee is a thing – forgot to mention that. Guess it's just part of the powder party. 😂
