HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin B2 100 mg by Solgar

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: vitamin B2 (riboflavin), a B vitamin at 100 mg per capsule. The remaining ingredients are inactives — vegetable cellulose, vegetable magnesium stearate, silica, and microcrystalline cellulose — which serve as the capsule and binding materials.

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

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

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: energy metabolism support.
  • We looked for evidence on: riboflavin deficiency, migraine, cellular energy.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

We don't hold effectiveness ratings for riboflavin in our data, so I can't tell you what the science says this dose is proven to do.

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, and excess is simply removed in your urine. At recommended doses, it's safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding — in fact, your body needs it at both times — but if you're pregnant or nursing and thinking about a high-dose supplement, check with your provider first.

The most common side effects are nausea and bright yellow urine at higher doses. Diarrhea is rare.

In one clinical trial, one person out of 28 taking 400 mg daily reported diarrhea and one reported increased urination, though those are much higher than the 100 mg in this product.

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 (doxycycline, tetracycline, minocycline, or related drugs), check with your pharmacist or doctor before adding this supplement — there's a moderate theoretical concern it could lower how well they work.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Vitamin B2 at this dose is a straightforward, well-tolerated supplement. The main thing to watch is if you take tetracycline antibiotics — there's a theoretical concern they might be less effective together, though it hasn't been a real-world problem.

Theoretically, taking riboflavin with tetracycline antibiotics may decrease the potency of these antibiotics.
In vitro research suggests that riboflavin may inhibit the potency of tetracycline antibiotics. It is not clear if this effect is clinically significant, as this interaction has not been reported in humans.

Vitamin B2 100 mg by Solgar: Common Questions

Does Vitamin B2 100 mg by Solgar interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Vitamin B2 100 mg has a known interaction with 20 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Vitamin B2 100 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Will this give me bright yellow urine?
At 100 mg, that's unlikely. Bright yellow urine is a dose-related effect of riboflavin and shows up at higher doses. You might see a slight color change, but it's harmless — it's just excess vitamin leaving your body.
Is it safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Yes, at recommended doses. Riboflavin is actually needed during both pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you're thinking about taking a higher dose than this, talk with your provider first to be sure it's right for you.
What does vitamin B2 do?
We don't have effectiveness data on file for what this specific dose is proven to do, so I can't tell you that from our information. Your doctor or a nutrition reference can give you more detail on that.
Are there any fillers in this?
Yes — vegetable cellulose, vegetable magnesium stearate, silica, and microcrystalline cellulose are included as inactive ingredients to make the capsule and hold it together.
What if I take tetracycline antibiotics?
Let your pharmacist know. Lab research suggests riboflavin might reduce how well these antibiotics work, though it hasn't actually happened in patients. Your pharmacist can help you space them out or decide if there's a better option.
