Swanson Riboflavin Vitamin B-2 100 MG 100 Capsules

As recommended by a doctor years ago, Swanson is my favorite brand for vitamins and supplements! I've been taking this brand of Riboflavin for 6 years now (as instructed by my neurologist) to help in migraine prevention. I trust this brand more than most others. I personally buy these online through their website, and they're reasonably priced and I've never had an issue with shipping. Definitely recommend for those in need of Riboflavin.

Big help for migraines

I've suffered for migraines for years. My neurologist recommended this as a supplement. It took a couple of weeks to build up in my system, but my migraines are greatly reduced now. I can only find this on eBay. Highly recommended to try if you suffer from migraines. Maybe it will help.

Energy

I love this vitamin and the amount of energy I now have. I didn't experience any stomach upset when I first started taking them. It's not too big and easy to swallow.

Good

This is a rather high dose of vitamin B2, at 100mg per capsule. Most B complex products only provides 50mg each. But the higher dose is necessary for mitochondrial support. If you suffer from migraine headaches, taking up to 400mg per day might help.

Great supplement

My very competent doctor recommended me taking B2. After searching on the Internet and presenting him with various brands, he liked this one the best. The price for this brand was actually less than the ones he did not like as well, which rarely happens.

High Dose, Good Price

I am playing around with R5P versus Riboflavin. I was told to take R5P but once it hits the stomach there are about 6 common minerals and substances that deactivated it rendering it useless. Genetically I don't' convert it hence the suggestion of R5P but if it's deactivated what good is it? I suspect this is true as I have reacted to Riboflavin with insomnia, which can occur if you have the B12 paradox issue (high in blood but not bioavailable and severely deficient with symptoms).This is a high dose so I have to be careful how much I open the capsule and take throughout the day. IT doesn't taste bad like R5P (or at all really), is cheaper so more wins all around. I will keep experimenting... Riboflavin is crucial for so many biochemical processes, seems like ... MoreI am playing around with R5P versus Riboflavin.

Inexpensive and helps me

Riboflavin is wonderful in my system, as long as I take one capsule a day, I get no migraines. It’s worked for me for many years, and Swanson carries an inexpensive version. The only side effect is bright yellow urine, but that makes for a reminder if I forget.

Made me sick

Made me sick to my stomach all day and felt shaky. I guess it works so if thats what you're looking for this is it. But definitely will be throwing these in the garbage

TWO TOO GOOD

I've always been Very Big on all the B-Vitamins, which are so important for one's general metabolism and at least 8 major areas. In addition to taking 2 or 3 of the ultra-important B-100 Complex daily, I supplement other individual B's for their specific contributions. B-2 is renowned for eyes, skin, and as a catalyst for B-1 and B-5. So, I take an additional 3 of these 100 mg. B-2 caps every morning and night. (I wish they put it out in a 250 mg. capsule.) Over the many decades, I have found that B-Vitamins have an immediate impact. Works for me.

You know this one works.

You can actually tell your body is processing this one. Don't be alarmed if you start seeing neon green when you go to the bathroom. It means its doing its job.
