The list of vitamins that will help you pass a drug test
Vitamins and minerals have a significant contribution to the detoxification of drugs such as THC in the body. They do this by supporting and offering a conducive environment for the liver and kidneys’ proper functioning the two major organs responsible for detoxification.
However, despite their well-documented roles in the detoxification process, there’s no single vitamin that can help ‘clean’ your urine by removing drug metabolites in readiness for an upcoming urinary drug test.
That does not necessarily mean that vitamins have absolutely no place in passing a urine drug test, though.
In this article, I’ll be explaining two ways through which vitamins can help in passing a drug test: vitamins that provide diuretic effect and vitamins that complement the dilution method.

Vitamins with diuretic effects
Also known as a ‘water pill,’ a diuretic is anything that causes the body to increase the amount of water and salt excreted through the kidneys as urine.
Diuretics mainly come in detox pills, although several other substances produce these effects, including cranberry juice, coffee, tea, and alcohol. Some vitamins are also known to make the body lose more water.
A vitamin with diuretic effects helps pass a urine drug test by increasing the amount of water in the urine, thereby lowering the concentration of drug metabolites in the urine sample to below the cutoff level.
This is to say that the metabolites are still present in your system, only that the additional amount of water has diluted their number in the urine sample.
Vitamin C
Also known as Ascorbic acid, vitamin C is currently being studied for its ability to treat certain diseases and conditions such as high blood pressure. An analysis of research results by the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine suggests that vitamin C may lower high blood pressure due to its diuretic effects.
This vitamin causes the kidneys to excrete more water and sodium from the body. As a result, the blood vessel walls relax, thereby lowering the blood pressure.
Edgar R. Miller, M.D, Ph.D., who is an associate professor at Johns Hopkins University, says that one needs to take at least 500mg of ascorbic acid to experience its diuretic effects.
In another 1936 study on the diuretic action of vitamin C recorded in the National Institutes of Health, an increase in urine level was evident after the subjects were a given a dose of 700mg of vitamin C for every ten stone of total body weight.
How much vitamin C should you take when relying on its diuretic effects to cheat a urine test?
Unfortunately, there isn’t an agreed gold standard amount for everyone. This is because there aren’t many studies that have been conducted regarding using vitamin C to cheat a test.
On this note, I highly believe that this would greatly vary from one person to the other depending on THC metabolites’ concentration in their urine.
Speaking to Mayo Clinic, Katherine Zeratsky advises taking 65-90 mg daily, but she also offers an upper limit of 2,000 mg. She continues to say that, while vitamin C is unlikely to cause adverse side effects when taken in higher doses, a mega-dose of it can lead to effects such as insomnia, heartburn, diarrhea, vomiting, headache, and abdominal cramps.
Vitamin B-6
Vitamin B6 is also known as pyridoxine, and it’s vital for the normal development of the brain besides keeping the immune and nervous systems healthy.
In addition to its major roles, vitamin B6 has been found to offer relief to people with water retention issues in the most recent past. It does this by correcting low thyroid function, which is known to lead to low temperatures and water retention.
Experts recommend taking a supplement of 500mg of pyridoxine to decrease water retention.
Vitamins that complement the dilution method
The dilution method is a sure-fire way of passing a urine drug test. It simply involves taking a lot of water in the hours, leading to a drug test. As a result, a lot of water is excreted as urine, thereby leading to a lower concentration of drug metabolites in the urine.
Unfortunately, the concentration of drug metabolites isn’t the only thing affected by consuming a copious amount of water. It also affects several other key characteristics of ‘normal’ urine, including color, creatinine levels, and specific gravity.
Abnormal ranges of these parameters are the major telltales of diluted urine when the lab experts carry out a test on a urine sample.
The normal color of urine ranges from yellow to deep amber. If you have used the dilution method, it’s advisable that you take 200mg of Vitamin B2 or B12 one hour before the test to give your urine its normal color.
Creatinine is a waste product of the normal breakdown of muscle tissue. As creatinine is broken down, it is filtered by the kidneys for excretion through urine.
The normal creatinine levels in urine vary from one person to another depending on their muscle mass (the more muscle mass, the higher the creatinine levels and vice versa).
Generally, the normal creatinine values range from 20 to 370 mg/dL in men and 20 to 320 mg/dL in women.
Dilution affects the concentration of creatinine levels in the urine. In case you’ve diluted these values to below 20 mg/dL, the cutoff level for most laboratories, your sample is flagged immediately and subjected to more tests.
That’s why it’s important to measure these levels before diluting to ensure that you are within the required range.
As you can imagine, it’s easy to dilute urine without getting the creatinine levels below the cutoff mark if you are starting at a higher level.
On the other hand, it can be a real challenge to maintain these values, especially if you have a very high concentration of drug metabolites that you need to dilute and low creatinine levels.
In that case, it might be important to throw a supplement of creatine into the mix. Creatine supplement is mostly used in the gym since it acts as fuel for the muscles. It works by boosting energy production, thereby leading to the release of more creatinine, which is filtered into the urine.
Final Thoughts
While no vitamin is a silver bullet for beating a urine drug test, vitamin B6 and B12 or B2 can increase your odds through internal dilution and adding color to a diluted urine sample, respectively.
Clear Choice Sub-Solution is the perfect solution for passing a drug test. It contains a clean synthetic urine that is biocide free and completely undetectable.
It also comes with their patented heat activator formula that raises the urine’s temperature to normal body temperature within seconds, so you don’t need to worry about having to heat it up yourself.
Furthermore, the standard size container makes it easy to conceal, and it is unisex, so it can be used by both male and female users.
