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: 400 mg of riboflavin (vitamin B2), an essential B vitamin your body needs to convert food into energy and keep your cells healthy. The capsule itself is made from bovine gelatin.

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.

Our data does not include an effectiveness rating for riboflavin for any specific health purpose. If you're considering this supplement for a particular reason, talk with your pharmacist about what the evidence actually 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 generally very well tolerated. Your body gets rid of excess riboflavin through your urine, so overdose is not a typical concern.

At this 400 mg dose, the most common side effects are dose-related nausea and bright yellow urine discoloration—both harmless. A small number of people in trials have reported diarrhea or increased urination at this dose level.

Riboflavin is needed during pregnancy and breastfeeding and is considered safe at recommended amounts. Since this is a high-dose supplement, check with your doctor or midwife before taking it while pregnant or nursing.

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 (such as doxycycline or tetracycline itself), check with your pharmacist before starting this product. Riboflavin may theoretically reduce how well these antibiotics work, though this hasn't been confirmed in humans.

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.

If you take a tetracycline antibiotic, ask your pharmacist before starting this product. Otherwise, riboflavin at this dose is generally well tolerated.

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.

I'm on an antibiotic—can I take this?
If it's a tetracycline antibiotic like doxycycline, check with your pharmacist first. Riboflavin might reduce how well it works, though we don't know how much of a real-world problem that is.
