Skin necrosis and cell viability1 papers
Riboflavin hyperaccumulation by a fungal pathogen in bats causes cytotoxicity, cell necrosis, and exacerbates skin infection to necrosis during hibernation.Cell studies · Study type not identified
Adverse effects (weight gain, dizziness, gastrointestinal problems)1 papers
In a single-blind RCT of 90 migraine patients, Riboflavin (400 mg/day) resulted in significantly fewer adverse effects compared to sodium valproate (p = 0.005), while showing similar efficacy in reducing migraine frequency and severity.Human studies · Randomized controlled trial
