User Reviews for riboflavin

i have heart failure and have a hard time with exercise. i can feel my heart working hard. i take 1000 mg in morning ....then around 1 or 2 pm i take another 750 mg. when i do this i no longer feel my heart. seems to work with less effort. i can feel the oxygen in my muscles. this is an undervalued vitamin.

I was prescribed b2 for extreme migraines with paralysis, after being on numerous different medications used to treat migraines I can honestly say this is the only one that worked changed my life!

After surviving a four day Migraine, I had to find help I could afford. No Doctors. No Prescriptions. WebMD and Mayo Clinic both said B2. Most reviewers here and on Amazon take 400 mg a day. I say start small. I take 200 mg (2 pills) a day on first break with FOOD. Food prevents upset stomach associated with taking vitamins. I also drink it down with Emergen-C. That's all! After a week up it if it doesn't feel like enough. I have been doing this for over a year and have only had one brief migraine - 2 weeks ago. I don't take it on the weekends because breakfast isn't routine for me on weekends. I do occasionally get a mild headache on a weekend here and there and will remember to take the B2. It goes away pretty quick. No noticeable side effects. Yes, neon urine! Definitely an Affordable option other migraine sufferers should check out. I love the TwinLabs capsules because they are small (very small). Even if you had to take four, no problem! I will probably have to take these for life! Small price compared to the chemicals the doctors will prescribe and what they will do to your body 10 years from now. I hope this helps! Enjoy Life Migraine Free!

Seems effective in preventing my migraines, which is fantastic!! Problem is I have had looser stools and horrible gas.

2 yrs ago, I started B2 (Riboflavin 400mg) twice a day for chronic migraine & hemiplegic migraine conditions, upon the recommendation of Headache Specialist MD. It has been extremely helpful for the facial & extremity parasthesias (numbness & tingling) that accompany the headache syndromes. Migraines reduced in frequency & intensity by 30-40%. I can tell the difference if I run out of it. I am currently weaning some of my prescription, preventive meds. I just became aware of Butter Bur and plan to start it this weekend. Wish me luck ;)Read More Read Less

B2 kept me up all night, I could not sleep, caused mild chest pressure.Made by Sundown.

I have being taking it to prevent my migraine headaches for about two months now. It significantly reduced the number and intensity of my headaches. Recently however I started having problems sleeping at night (often wake up during the night) and instead falling asleep during the day. I am not sure if that is a side effect of B2 or if that is something else; I am wondering if anybody else who is on B2 having similar problems. I take 400 mg per day (twice a day).

I have been on Vitamin B2 for quite some time for the treatment of Migraines. It worked very well and I was doing so good, I thought I could go off it, but now I have been getting the Migraines again.

Absolutely prevents migraine attacks for me. I was surprised at the results and wasn't sure it was this vitamin that was working so quit taking them for a while...I quickly started again as within weeks the migraine attacks started up again. I went from 3 or 4 headaches a week to one a month. Only problem is once in a while I have trouble finding the 400mg capsule. It seems to be more effective than taking 4 100mg pills a day.

Iv'e suffered chronic Cluster Headaches for over 5 yrs and I started taking B2(2x200) along with D3,Magnesium and Melatonin at night AND instesd of 3-4 HAchea a day, now 3-4 a month and less severe!

While pregnant, I was given this tx through my doctor. I only took, per his advise, 200mg (100 am/pm). Within weeks I was no longer suffering from the migraines I was experiencing daily!

Appears to be helping decrease the number of headaches I get. One thing I note from the other comments is that I take 200 mg in the morning and 200 mg at night - both with food. I understand B2 clears your body fast so taking the full 400 at once may not be as effective as taking it twice a day.

Started it to help decrease chronic migraines. It took aout 2-3 months to notice a difference, but it is worth it. Cut my frequency of migraines by more than half. I use 400mg every morning.

I read here to try B2 for migraines. After seeing the price at GNC I thought it was worth the price to try it. It has been about 5 months now and I notice a change. I take 400 mg a day of a morning and I have had a decrease in my migraines. Now it doesn't prevent them, or do anything for them when I have one, but I don't get them as often. A bottle of one hundred 100 mg pills at GNC is about 5 bucks, not a big price to pay to try it. And I started off one pill a day and stepped it up a pill every two weeks till I got up to 4.

For the past 3 wks., I have been using B2. I was seeing a neurologist for several issues and one of them was headaches. My headaches diminished and very surprisingly the pain I get from arthritis in my knee is nt as severe as before. I have been taking mobic and arthritis tylenol for the past 8 yrs.and at times the pain was unbearable I couln't walk at times and needed to find a stretching point to release the pressure in my knee and got relief only minimal from sort of like popping somethinng back into place that was unaligned. When I started taking B2 the same day I stopped taking arthritis tylenol which was four times a day. My pain on both knees is almost gone and I can walk without the help of the cane which I had been using for the past 4 yrs. B2 is a miracle in my life not only for headaches but osteoarthritis.Read More Read Less

I was having vascular/cluster headaches for months and after the third dose of high dose riboflavin I had a significant decrease in headaches and intensity! I was amazed.
