Lime coloured urine

Does anyone know what having lime-cordial coloured piss usually means? It's not green or dark, more like the colour of lime squash. I'm not on any medication or drugs but I do workout every other day and take the usual protein shakes. I'm well-hydrated which means it should be clear but this odd colour has appeared. I don't feel ill or anything and have only just noticed it.

    Drinking too many gimlets? Eating too much asparagus? :p

    No seriously, depending on what your protein shakes have in them, it could be something to do with them. Green urine is usually indicative of an excess of Vitamin(s) B and other vitamins too, I don't know enough about protein shakes to know if they're high in vitamins...but it's worth having a look.

    If the colour change is signifigant enough to make you worried, it can't do you any harm to make an appointment with your GP.
