Does it work?

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

This is a single-ingredient Riboflavin product and its label doesn't state a use — see Riboflavin's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

Our data holds no effectiveness rating for riboflavin in this product, so we cannot tell you what it's intended to treat or support based on the facts we have.

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 at this dose. The main side effects are dose-related nausea and bright yellow urine — both harmless and reversible.

A small number of people in trials reported diarrhea or increased urination at much higher doses (400 mg daily), but at 100 mg these are uncommon. Riboflavin is needed during pregnancy and breastfeeding and is considered likely safe at recommended amounts.

If you're pregnant or nursing, check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking high-dose supplements to be sure this dose is right for you.

Why this rating?
