HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin B-2 100 mg by Puritan's Pride

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 B-2) at 100 mg per tablet. Riboflavin is an essential B vitamin your body uses to turn food into energy and support cell growth.

The remaining ingredients — dicalcium phosphate, cellulose, silica, and magnesium stearate — are inactive fillers and binders that 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

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 data we hold doesn't include effectiveness ratings for riboflavin. If you're taking this to correct a B-2 deficiency or support energy metabolism, we'd recommend checking with your doctor or pharmacist about whether 100 mg is the right dose 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 very well tolerated — your body removes excess amounts in your urine. The most common side effects are dose-related nausea and bright yellow urine discoloration at higher doses; diarrhea has been reported rarely.

Riboflavin is needed during pregnancy and breastfeeding and is generally safe at recommended doses, though the facts advise checking with your provider before using high-dose supplements in either situation.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Riboflavin

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, check this product against your exact medication before starting — lab research suggests riboflavin may reduce their potency, though human studies haven't confirmed it yet.
