Vitamin World Vitamin B-2 100 mg
Brand: Vitamin World · Form: TABLET [E0155]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Vitamin World Vitamin B-2 100 mg provides a high dose of riboflavin, far exceeding the daily requirement. Riboflavin is an essential nutrient that supports energy production, but data on benefits for specific conditions at this dosage level is limited. We can only comment on what the data provides.
How it works
Riboflavin, also known as vitamin B-2, acts as a precursor for coenzymes that are critical for converting food into energy [NIH ODS]. It also plays a role in maintaining healthy red blood cells and supporting cellular function. The 100 mg dose in this product is significantly higher than the RDA for adults, which is 1.1-1.3 mg daily [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available. No adverse event reports for this specific product were provided in the FDA data. Riboflavin is generally considered safe, and excess amounts are typically excreted in urine, which may turn a bright yellow color. This is a harmless, well-known effect [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available to support a specific recommendation for the 100 mg dose. For general health, a standard multivitamin or a lower dose B-complex is usually sufficient. Consult your healthcare provider to determine if this high dose is appropriate for your specific needs [NIH ODS].
