HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vitamin B2 100 mg by The Vitamin Shoppe

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Sep 24, 2026

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 supplement contains one active ingredient: riboflavin (vitamin B2) at 100 mg per capsule. Riboflavin is a B vitamin your body needs to turn food into energy and support cell growth and function.

The capsule also includes inactive ingredients — rice flour, vegetable cellulose (the capsule material itself), and magnesium stearate (a binder) — that help deliver the active ingredient.

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.

We don't hold effectiveness data for riboflavin at this dose in our records, so we can't tell you what research shows it may do. If you're considering this supplement for a specific reason, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist — they can let you know whether the evidence supports its use 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 generally well tolerated. The most common side effects are dose-related nausea and bright yellow urine — that discoloration is harmless and normal at higher doses.

Rarely, diarrhea or increased urination has been reported. Any excess your body doesn't use is simply removed in the urine.

Riboflavin is considered likely safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding at recommended amounts, since your body actually needs it during these times. If you're pregnant or nursing and want to use a high-dose supplement, check with your provider first to make sure the amount is right for you.

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.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take tetracycline antibiotics (such as doxycycline, tetracycline, or minocycline). Riboflavin may reduce how well these antibiotics work.

They can help you decide on timing or choose an alternative.

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.

This single-ingredient B2 supplement is generally well tolerated and safe at standard doses. The main thing to watch for is tetracycline antibiotics — they may work less well if you take them together.

If you take any prescriptions, check them with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, and let them know if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.

Vitamin B2 100 mg by The Vitamin Shoppe: Common Questions

Does Vitamin B2 100 mg by The Vitamin Shoppe 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 turn my urine yellow?
Yes — bright yellow urine is a normal, harmless side effect at this dose and higher. It's just excess riboflavin your body doesn't need leaving through your urine. It'll go back to normal once you stop taking the supplement.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
Riboflavin is considered likely safe during pregnancy at recommended doses, and your body actually needs it. If you want to take a high-dose supplement, check with your provider first to confirm it's the right amount for you.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
Riboflavin is considered likely safe while breastfeeding at recommended doses, since it's needed during this time. If you're thinking about a higher dose, ask your provider whether that amount is okay.
What if I take too much?
Riboflavin is very safe because your body removes any excess in the urine — you can't store it or build it up to toxic levels. The main side effects at higher doses are nausea and that bright yellow urine we mentioned.
Will this cause nausea?
Nausea is dose-related and more likely at higher doses than 100 mg. It's one of the more common side effects people report, though most tolerate riboflavin well. If it happens, try taking it with food.
