    If I take orange Berocca, my piss comes out a real deep, rich green/orange colour.

    If I take berry Berocca, my piss still comes out green/orange colour.

    Why?

    Your passing it through your system.

    It's a bit like temple priests in the ancient world who'd give a dye made from a ground up root to worshippers in wine, and as the same worshippers urinated it appeared they were urinating blood due to the dye. After a while the priests would stop giving the worshippers the spiked wine and they would be, miraculously, :rolleyes: cured.

    Red lemonade makes your pee turn red. And eating asparagus makes your pee smell funny.

    Vitamin B is a water soluable vitamin so therefore your body takes what it needs to function and then excretes the rest, through your piss.

    Yea, it's the B vitamins that give urine the funny colour.

    First they came for the socialists...

    I think the real issue that the OP wishes to discuss is why, even though the berry Beroccas are a different colour to the orange ones, his/her piss still looks the same colour.

    Discuss

    Because its not the colouring that is passing through and changing the colour of the urine, it's the B vitamins which are the same regardless of the flavour/colour of the original drink
