female adolescents between the ages of 14-18 years; 1.3 mg for male adolescents 14-18 years of age; 1.1 mg for

Are there any risks associated with too much vitamin B2?
Excess riboflavin is excreted through the urine (often temporarily causing urine to turn a bright yellow color several
hours after taking it), so there is no common risk for an overdose. However, extremely high doses may result in an
increased risk of kidney stones. Sensitivity to light, itching, numbness, and burning/prickling sensations may also
occur at high dosages. Allergy and anaphylaxis (severe, whole-body allergic reaction) have also been reported,
though rarely.
