Roll Call does not check drug interactions or assess personal safety.
A water-soluble B vitamin involved in energy metabolism, found naturally in dairy, eggs, meat, and green vegetables.
Why it’s used
Taken to meet dietary requirements and, in higher doses, sometimes used for migraine prevention.
What the evidence is for
correcting riboflavin deficiency.
What the evidence says
NIH ODS confirms riboflavin's essential role and that supplementation corrects deficiency, which can cause skin and mouth changes. Separately, some clinical research has examined higher-dose riboflavin for reducing migraine frequency, with mixed but somewhat encouraging results, though this is a distinct use from ordinary dietary supplementation.
Dose studied
1.1–1.3 mg — adult RDA, per NIH ODS.
Context
Deficiency-correction doses sit near the RDA; migraine-prevention studies used considerably higher daily amounts over months.
