How it works

Riboflavin supports mitochondrial energy metabolism. Migraineurs show evidence of mitochondrial dysfunction that high-dose riboflavin may correct.

Turns urine bright yellow β€” expected and harmless. Available OTC. Very safe at this dose. A preventive treatment, not for acute attacks.

Why moderate evidence

Multiple RCTs show riboflavin reduces migraine days per month versus placebo. Included in European Headache Federation prevention guidelines.

β€œSome improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
