True, and it's spelled diuretic.
I'm almost thru pharmacy school, and while I don't know off the top of my head if any of those are specifically diuretics (other than caffeine) but I'd bet they are. A lot of those weight loss crap things have something in them to make you pee more so you lose body water and get the illusion it's actually helping you lose weight. My advice? Switch to a regular vitamin. You may still pee more often cause, as stated above a lot of excess vitamins are excreted in the urine, but a standard multivitamin is going to be better for you, and can still help with weight loss simply by providing what your body needs to burn the fat.
