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 capsule. It's a water-soluble B vitamin your body needs for energy production and cell health.

The capsule also contains inactive ingredients — vegetable cellulose, gelatin, silica, and vegetable magnesium stearate — which are common binders and fillers.

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.

We don't hold effectiveness ratings for riboflavin in our data, so we can't tell you from our sources how well it works for any particular condition. If you're taking it to fill a B-2 deficiency or support a specific health goal, ask your pharmacist or doctor what the evidence shows 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 excretes excess amounts in the urine. The most common side effect is dose-related nausea and bright yellow urine, especially at higher doses.

Rarely, some people report diarrhea or increased urination. Riboflavin is needed during pregnancy and breastfeeding and is generally safe at recommended doses.

If you're pregnant or nursing and want to use a high-dose supplement like this one, check with your provider first.
