What it is

Health notes

Vitamin B2 is recognized as safe and effective by the FDA when used as a nutrient supplement. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated riboflavin and established guidelines for its use. At typical dietary intake levels, it is considered safe and plays a vital role in health. There are no widespread controversies regarding its safety or efficacy.
