Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: riboflavin (vitamin B2) at 100 mg per tablet. Riboflavin is a B vitamin your body uses for energy production and cell health.

The tablet also contains inactive ingredients — dicalcium phosphate and vegetable cellulose — which are fillers and binders that help hold the tablet together.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: B vitamins support energy metabolism.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

We don't have effectiveness data on file for riboflavin in our records. If you're considering this product for a specific health reason, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether the evidence supports its use for your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Riboflavin

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Riboflavin is generally well tolerated. The most common side effects are dose-related nausea and bright yellow urine — both harmless and temporary.

Rarely, people report diarrhea at higher doses. Because excess riboflavin is cleared through your urine, it's considered very safe at typical amounts.

Riboflavin is needed during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, and it's generally safe at recommended doses. If you're pregnant, nursing, or thinking about using a higher-dose supplement, check with your doctor or pharmacist first for personalized advice.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Riboflavin.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 20 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If you take tetracycline antibiotics (a class used for bacterial infections), check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product — riboflavin may reduce their effectiveness, though this hasn't been confirmed in humans.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This is a straightforward B2 supplement, well tolerated and useful if you need riboflavin replacement. The main thing to watch is if you take tetracycline antibiotics — confirm with your own doctor or pharmacist before combining them.

B-2 100 mg by Nature's Bounty: Common Questions

Does B-2 100 mg by Nature's Bounty interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, B-2 100 mg has a known interaction with 20 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
B-2 100 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Will this turn my urine bright yellow?
Yes, at higher doses riboflavin commonly causes bright yellow urine. It's harmless — just your body clearing excess B2 that it doesn't need. At the 100 mg dose in this product, it's a possible side effect.
Can I take this while pregnant?
Riboflavin is actually needed during pregnancy and is generally safe at normal recommended amounts. If you want to use this 100 mg supplement while pregnant, check with your doctor or pharmacist first to make sure the dose is right for you.
Is riboflavin the same as B2?
Yes — riboflavin is the chemical name for vitamin B2. They're the same thing.
What does riboflavin do in my body?
Riboflavin is a B vitamin that helps your body produce energy from food and supports cell health. Your body can't store much of it, so it needs to come from your diet or supplements.
Can I take too much of this?
Riboflavin is very safe — your body simply clears excess amounts in your urine, so true toxicity from too much is not a concern. That said, higher doses can cause nausea and yellow urine. Stick to the dose on the label unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
