Urine contains all the disgusting things your body REALLY does not need. By drinking urine, you are just basicaly poisoning yourself.

Urine contains Urea, water, and mineral salts

Water can be reabsorbed by the kidneys to increase the water potential in blood

Urea is a waste product of metabolism, which in large quantities, may cause harm to cells by affecting osmotic potential. It is converted from ammonia

Excess Mineral salts can affect osmotic potential if left to accumulate too.

Urine effectively serves to remove urea and mineral salts from the body. Drinking it would defeat the purpose

Urine is formed in the kidneys, oxidation of amino acids from undigested foods or ammonia

Urea is also excreted through sweat!

The article stated several untrue 'facts' such as "for nine months before you were born you floated in a combination of your own and your mother's urine" and "All of your skin, your bones are made from tiny crystals which are all formed by urine". Due to such falsities in the articles, we can simple assume that all credibility has been lost and therefore need not discuss the other facts stated in the article. However, I can also say that urine is composed mainly of water but also contains urea, a waste product which has harmful effects on the human body (the reason why it is removed in the first place), and hence should not be reintroduced to the human body as cells may be poisoned. Urine also contains sodium, chlorides, potassium, creatinine and water soluble harmful substances.

Urine is formed in the kidneys and stored in the urinary bladder before release.

Seriously.... Urine....

Do you even know wats in Urine????

1) UREA!!!!!

--> Soluble Toxins.... not what you want in your body

2) Chloride......

--> Chloride is commonly found in streams and wastewater, there is a reason why its found there i guess

3) Sodium

--> I'm no rocket scientist but i sure know that we aren't suppose to drink Sodium

-->Sodium is included on the Drinking Water Contaminant Candidate List (CCL). The CCL is a list of contaminants

4) Creatinine... doesnt sound good

--> Isn't that a compound which is produced by metabolism of creatine, why would i want it back in my body

Why do people find it refreshing to drink urine then??? Well because there is some water Content in them....... at the cost of al those nonsense

Im pretty sure it taste like shit.... I mean it was excreted right

Human urine consists primarily of water, with organic solutes including urea, creatinine, uric acid, and trace amounts of enzymes, carbohydrates, hormones, fatty acids, pigments, and mucins, and inorganic ions such as sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), chloride (Cl-), magnesium (Mg2+), calcium (Ca2+), ammonium (NH4+), sulfates (SO42-), and phosphates (e.g., PO43-

A representative chemical composition would be:

water 95%

urea 9.3 g/l

chloride 1.87 g/l

sodium 1.17 g/l

potassium 0.750 g/l

creatinine 0.670 g/l

What Happens when it is taken in?

1. Sodium content and dehydration

.The main dangers are the high sodium and mineral content.

2.Bacterial contamination

.The urethra contains bacteria

3.Medication and supplements excreted within urine

.Urine of a person who is ill may not be harmful to that person, but could pose a risk if consumed by others. If the person urinating has recently taken vitamins or mineral supplements or medication, elements of these can be excreted in urine, which may affect the drinker.

Urine trouble now!

Urine consists mostly of water, urea and salts.

# data[].attributes.body
Urine is mostly made up of around 95% water and the other 5% is made up of other chemicals.

Urine is formed in three steps-->1. Filtration 2. Reabsorption 3. Secretion

Since urine has waste products, these products will cause irritation in the eyes and skin, but drinking urine is quite harmless.

# data[].attributes.body
Urine is mainly made up of water(95%) with the remaining: Urea, chloride, sodium, potassium, creatinine( product of muscles metabolizing.) also there is larger quantities of nitrogen and can be used as fertilizers.

Not really recommended for re-take. urine contains substances that has been marked as undesirable by the body. And urine is known to cause irritants to skin and eyes.

What is urine made up of?

In urine, 95% of the volume is mainly water, solutes such as urea, which takes up 2.5%, and the remaining 2.5% of solutes such as creatinine, uric acid and other substances e.g hormones, fatty acids and mucins.

How is urine formed?

It is formed by 4 processes:

1) glomerular filtration,

2) tubular reabsorption,

3) tubular secretion, and

4) water conservation.

Glomerular filtration- Filtration of blood under high pressure created at the arterial end of the glomerulus.

Tubular re-absorption- Removal of useful substances and returns them back to blood stream.

Tubular secretion- Removal of unwanted waste from blood and adds them to the filtrate.

Water conservation- Removal of water through urination and as well as concentrated waste materials.

What if it is retaken in?

Our body would not get poisoned as our urine contains only a small amount of toxins. Plus, when urine is drank, it goes straight into the digestive system instead of our bloodstream. Then, the useful materials are recycled again while the toxins are rejected. Drinking urine may be beneficial to your body as when the level of toxins in your body becomes too high, it stimulates our intestines to flush out everything to get rid of any stagnated excrements accumulated in the colon.

What are the components of urine?

Primarily of water

With organic solutes such as: urea, creatinine, uric acid, and trace amounts of enzymes, carbohydrates, hormones, fatty acids, pigments, and mucins.

Inorganic ions such as: sodium, potassium, chloride , magnesium , calcium, ammonium , sulfates , and phosphates

How is urine formed?

Urine is formed through a combination of four basic processes

1) glomerular filtration

2) tubular reabsorption

3) tubular secretion

4) water conservation.

Blood is under high pressure in the glomerulus; thus, plasma moves into the glomerular capsule. This fluid is called filtrate. As the filtrate moves along the tubules, it is referred to as tubular fluid. Most of the water and many other molecules are reabsorbed into the blood, while some substances are secreted into the tubular fluid. Once the fluid moves into the collecting, duct it is called urine. While in the collecting duct, additional water is removed from the urine, concentrating the wastes.

Constituents of urine:

Urine consists of approximately 95% water. The remaining 5% consists of Urea, Creatinine, Uric acid and other waste substances of amounts that are more negligible. Urine may consist of a small amount of some toxins that may be harmful to the body but only in large amounts.

If urine is consumed:

Therefore when urine is consumed and taken into the body, the toxins may not affect the body immediately but accumulation will bring about undesirable effects. Thus consumption of urine is not beneficial and can gradually become harmful.

Formation of urine:

Urine is formed in the kidneys through the two main processes which are ultrafiltration of small molecules from the blood followed by selective reabsorption of useful substances.

Process of ultrafiltration:

Blood flows from the branches of the renal artery into the glomeruli in the renal corpuscles. Most of the blood plasma is forced out of the glomerular blood capillaries into the Bowman's capsule.

Process of selective reabsorption of useful substances:

At the proximal convoluted tubule, most of the mineral salts and, in a healthy person, all of the glucose and amino acids are reabsorbed through the walls of the tubule into the surrounding blood capillaries. These solutes are reabsorbed via diffusion and active transport. T his reabsorption is highly selective, and only those substances required by the body are reabsorbed readily. Also, most of the water in the filtrate is reabsorbed by osmosis at the proximal convoluted tubule. At the loop of Henlé, some water is reabsorbed. Then, at the distal convoluted tubule, some water and mineral salts are reabsorbed. Finally, at the collecting duct, some water is reabsorbed again while the excess water, excess salts and metabolic waste products such as urea, uric acid and creatinine pass out of the collecting duct into the renal pelvis as urine.

What are the components of urine?

Human urine consists primarily of water, with organic solutes including urea, creatinine, uric acid, and trace amounts of enzymes, carbohydrates, hormones, fatty acids, pigments, and mucins, and inorganic ions.

What might it do if re-taken in?

Urine is highly sterile, consisting of 95 per cent water and five per cent nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, proteins, antibodies and other Beneficial Ingredients.

How is urine formed?

Contrary to popular perception, urine is not a by-product of the body's waste disposal system but of blood filtration. Nutrient-filled blood passes through the liver, where toxins are removed and excreted as solid waste. The purified blood then goes through another filtering process via the kidneys, where components for which the body has no immediate use are collected in a sterile, watery solution, which is known as urine.

urine is toxic—containing urea, and can only bring harm to the body if ingested. The truth of the matter is, however, that urine is not toxic. Urine contains 95% water, 2.5% urea, and 2.5% of minerals, salts, enzymes, and hormones . It requires very, very large amounts of urea to negatively affect the body, and “the small amount of toxins in urine is not abundant enough to be toxic to the body”

What might it do if re-taken in?

Your body will have to work twice as hard to get rid of the mineral salts it tries to remove through urine. Urine is not poisonous but it is a health hazard as it contains bacteria.

How is urine formed?

Urine formation involves 2 main processes, ultrafiltration and selective reabsorption

Ultrafiltration- When blood enters the glomerulus, some of the blood plasma ( without plasma proteins) is filtered or forced out of the glomerular capillaries into the Bowman's capsule. Note*( Ultrafiltration only happens if there is high hydrostatic pressure and a partially permeable membrane filter present ). During ultrafiltration in the kidneys, large particles such as blood cells, platelets and plasma proteins remain in the glomerular capillaries.
Selective reabsorption- Excess water and salts, and metabolic waste products pass from the tubules into collecting ducts and then into the renal pelvis as urine.

How is urine formed?

The formation of urine is the result of the simultaneous occurrence of three processes. These processes are: (1) glomerular filtration, or the passage of a colloid-free filtrate of blood plasma through the glomerular capillary endothelium and its investing squamous epithelium owing to an excess of hydrostatic over colloid osmotic pressure; (2) tubular excretion, or the passage of solutes from the plasma in the peritubular capillaries through the cells of the proximal convolution of the tubule to its lumen; (3) tubular resorption, or the partial removal of solutes and water from the lumen of the distal half of the tubule by its cells (the corrective conservation of certain solids and of water wastefully excreted by the renal corpuscle).

What might it do if re-taken in?

It may harm your body as there is waste in your urine. However it is mainly water so it may help you keep hydrated

Urine consists of water, with organic solutes like urea, creatinine, uric acid, and enzymes, carbohydrates, hormones, fatty acids, pigments, and inorganic ions. Urine is formed from waste materials in the body, and is formed in the nephron through a mechanical process called ultra-filtration, reabsorption of useful materials and active secretion of urea.According to the article about the drinking your urine thing, it says that aged urine actually has real good healing properties. It also seems that urine helps with strengthening the immune system as the lady said she hasn't caught a cold in decades. Urine also helps in building up of our body since we were in our mothers womb which is filled with urine. So it actually seems safe to re-take in your urine although its disgusting....so its more of the psychological thinking of drinking your own urine.....
