White stuff in your pee can be due to Urinary Tract Infections, STIs, Pregnancy and other infections.

If the urine continues to show up with white stuff you should see your doctor about it to get tested.

Neon pee is harmless and means that you're consuming more vitamin B2 than your body needs which can be from taking too many multivitamins or consuming too much vitamin b2.

The excess vitamins are mixing with the pee and causing it to be a neon color.

And even green pee is in most cases nothing to worry about and is most often caused by green or blue dyes in food or medicines.

However if the green pee continues, it can also be a sign of a medical concern such as a Pseudomonas urinary tract infection, familial benign hypercalcemia, or liver disease.

When you're healthy and your kidneys and bladder are functioning properly your pee color should be clear in color or pale yellow to deep amber.

Normal healthy pee should be a pale yellow to deep amber color or even sometimes clear in color.

The most optimal color for your urine is a pale yellow.

If your pee is a darker yellow or orange, it can mean you are becoming dehydrated.

An orange urine or pee color could indicate a serious liver condition.

Darker brown pee or urine can be caused by foods or medication.

Normal urine color ranges from pale yellow to deep amber which is the result of a pigment called urochrome and how diluted or concentrated the urine is.

Pigments and other compounds in certain foods and medications can change your urine color.

Beets, berries and fava beans are among the foods most likely to affect the color.

Cloudy or milky urine is a sign of a urinary tract infection, which may also cause a bad smell.

Milky urine may also be caused by bacteria, crystals, fat, white or red blood cells, or mucus in the urine.

If your urine is without visible urochrome or yellow pigment, it's considered colorless urine, appearing “clear” to you.

This colorless urine is sometimes due to drinking an excess of water, while other times it can signal a problem with the kidneys.
