HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Pure Vitamin B2 100 mg by Freeda

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 (also called vitamin B2), a water-soluble B vitamin your body uses for energy production and cell health. The remaining ingredients are inactive—vegetable cellulose capsule, cellulose, vegetarian stearate, and silica—used to form and fill the capsule.

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

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.

The facts we hold don't include effectiveness ratings for riboflavin, so we can't tell you from our data what conditions it may help with. If you're considering this supplement for a specific health concern, ask your doctor or pharmacist whether the evidence supports it 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 considered very safe; your body excretes any excess in your urine. Orally, it's generally well tolerated.

The most common side effects are dose-related nausea and bright yellow urine—the discoloration is harmless and expected at higher doses. Rarely, diarrhea or increased urination have been reported.

Riboflavin is needed during pregnancy and breastfeeding and is generally safe at recommended amounts. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding and want to use a high-dose supplement like this one, check with your provider first to make sure the dose is right for you.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Riboflavin.
