  • Out of 11 clinical trials reviewed, 5 showed positive results for adults, while effects in children and teens were mixed, and some combination therapies didn't show benefit.
  • Overall, riboflavin is well tolerated with mild side effects, but more research is needed to understand how it works in the body and its effectiveness across different individuals.]

ビタミンB2はサプリの鉄板ですが、ベジタリアンでもない限り不足することはまずありません。ただし片頭痛に関しては予防効果が示されており、米国・カナダでは1日400mgのサプリでの摂取が推奨されています。 片頭痛持ちでなければ、不要です。 https://t.co/LHKqMANAIU–403.
