SolgarVitamin B2 Riboflavin (50 mg, 100 Tablets)

Caused constipation initially, and with more days of using, it was to a point of intestinal obstruction. It became painful and scary twice before I realized the cause. I suspect the ingredient dicalcium phosphate. Is it the amount of that ingredient? I have taken other brands with that ingredient without a problem. When I recently was out of b2, I used this brand again because it was sitting on my shelf yet, and it happened again. Will now get rid of it. I take B2 for preventing migraines, with a meal. Now I just use 100mg to prevent the migraines, as it is an amount that is easy to find. I tried the lower dose with the Solgar brand, but the side effect of an extra ingredient is dangerous for me.

I bought these for my daughter because she has large bits of skin on her lips that come off. It is worse in the winter but she has it even in the summer. Somewhere I read that this helps that. At first I gave her 12.5 mg once a day by breaking them into quarters. That seemed to help a lot but since I now give a quarter pill twice a day, I see that it seems to have cured the problem. Also, I used to get red eyes for weeks on end when I was younger and cracks on the side of my mouth. I too was probably B2 deficient. Maybe the two of us need to send for the genetic data from 23 and Me. We can then check the data online for any SNPs that are perhaps related to needing extra B2 or maybe we just don't eat enough food with B2. Also, read that B2 and magnesium is helpful for migraines. I don't get them but I thought I would throw that out there.

The pills begin to dissolve the second they are wet. So as soon as you put them in your mouth they start to melt and taste absolutely horrible. They also stain anything they touch a terrible yellow color if they get wet. Even a tiny amount of moisture on your hands and they start to dissolve and turn your hands yellow. There are companies who make them flavorless and stainless with coatings or capsules. It is not necessary to leave them so hard to use.

Fifty mg of vitamin B-2 has been in my nightly regimen for 14 months. I take it with a combination of other B vitamins.It helps with the blood flow. I initially took this combination for my heart but found it took away my restless legs and it makes my varicose veins lighter. Doesn't take them away but they look lighter.Yes, this combination came from a heart specialist that was on the Dr Oz show in 2011.

this stuff made me depressed over time. It seems of good quality, the reaction I had may be a unique side effect for my body, and not necessarily the same reaction for others
