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. The tablet also includes several inactive ingredients—dicalcium phosphate, microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, stearic acid, hypromellose, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, and polyethylene glycol—which are fillers and binders that help hold the tablet together.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Riboflavin's overall clinical evidence instead.

Strong

Strong clinical evidence supports Riboflavin for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Ariboflavinosis — rated "Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Migraine headache — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Hyperhomocysteinemia — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

We don't have effectiveness ratings on file for riboflavin for any specific health purpose in this product. If you're taking this to support energy, eye health, or another particular need, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether the evidence supports that use.

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 generally well tolerated and considered very safe; your body excretes excess amounts in the urine, which may turn bright yellow at higher doses. The most common side effects are mild dose-related nausea and that urine discoloration.

Rarely, some people report diarrhea. Riboflavin is needed during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, and it's generally safe at recommended amounts.

If you're pregnant, nursing, or want to take a high-dose supplement, check with your provider first to make sure it's right for you.

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 a tetracycline antibiotic (used for infections, acne, or other conditions), confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this supplement. The riboflavin in it may reduce how well the antibiotic works, though this hasn't been confirmed in patients.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Vitamin B2 is a safe, well-tolerated B vitamin useful for people whose diet may be low in riboflavin. The main thing to know is that it may affect tetracycline antibiotics, so check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take one of those before starting this supplement.

For any concerns about whether this fits your personal health picture, talk it over with your own healthcare provider.
