Why does urine smell like pine?

Urine can smell like pine due to the presence of certain compounds, particularly when the body metabolizes certain foods, medications, or supplements. For instance, high consumption of asparagus, or specific vitamins, can alter the odor. Additionally, some metabolic conditions or infections can also produce unusual scents, including pine-like aromas. If the smell is persistent or accompanied by other symptoms, it may be worth consulting a healthcare professional.
