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 needs to convert food into energy and to keep your nervous system, muscles, and eyes working properly.

The tablet also contains inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid, silica, and a coating — that help hold the pill together and protect it.

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

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

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: energy production and healthy vision skin hair.
  • We looked for evidence on: Riboflavin deficiency, Migraine prevention, Eye health, Skin health.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

We don't have effectiveness ratings on file for riboflavin in our data, so we can't tell you what the evidence shows about what this dose is used for. If you're considering it for a specific health goal, your pharmacist or doctor can fill you in on what the research supports.

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 excess amounts in the urine. When taken by mouth, it's generally well tolerated.

The most common side effects are dose-related nausea and bright yellow urine at higher doses. Rarely, diarrhea or increased urination have been reported, mostly at much higher doses (400 mg daily).

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

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Riboflavin.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
