You pretty much hit it on the head for me, I suspected it was the pills. Ratio is right, and you said the color was good. Cellulose is probably just the shell (which admittedly probably weighs a lot. It's flavorless, and you removed probably all of it by breaking the caps. However, Magnesium stearate can be bitter, and it's hard to avoid when buying pills. So that was my guess.

I always use 100% riboflavin bought pure. You can buy it here on amazon for 50 grams at 12 bucks, which will last you an eternity.

Online is your best bet. Also, if you ever want extra yellow noodles, try adding some riboflavin powder https://www.amazon.com/BulkSupplements-Riboflavin-Vitamin-Powder-grams/dp/B00F7URNTE?th=1

Normal ribloflavin is very inexpensive and just about any you find will work just fine. Most pharmacies will have it for 3 or 4 bucks.

There's another form of Riboflavin called Flavin mononucleotide (FMN) also known as riboflavin-5′-phosphate. It's much more expensive ($30) and probably not worth it for you unless normal Riboflavin doesn't work.

My personal preference for things like this is NOW Brand. They have USP facility in Illinois, good American company. But really most pharmacy brands for Riboflavin will be just fine because it's a common and inexpensive nutrient.

Where are you located? In the US, with free shipping: https://www.amazon.com/Riboflavin-Vegetarian-Capsules-Seeking-Health/dp/B00FL3H9NM

Outside the states, I would go to your local pharmacy or natural foods store and request a special order.

Use a little bit of vitamin B2: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F7URNTE

You can make a bright yellow green one. Plus you can control the ingredients better because you aren't stuck with whatever else is in the tonic water.

Edit: Here's a picture of a glowing drink I made with it. I am holding a UV flashlight in my hand to make it glow.

To answer your original question, here is my daily routine:

  1. Right when I wake up, before doing anything else I take a B multivitamin. This is really helpful for energy, and seems protective against migraine.

  2. About an hour later, before heading to work, I then take a 250mg time released B2, which has been shown in many studies to help protect against migraine (https://www.amazon.com/Vitamin-Release-Natures-Plus-Sustained/dp/B00028MQXO/).

  3. Some people might take Coenzyme Q10/Magnesium at this point as well, there is some evidence they help. If I feel low energy I will sometimes do this, but not consistently. Probably not advisable. Not sure frankly. But I do know that CoQ helps me with energy levels.

  4. Around 3-4pm the B2 starts to wear off and my energy level drops, so I take another time-release 250mg B2 between 3-3:30pm.


    But other things that are key are sleep hygiene, drinking lots of water, eating regularly (skipping meals is a surefire trigger for me), and getting regular fairly intense exercise. For instance this study suggests exercise is extremely beneficial protector against migraine (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3236524/).

    Unfortunately I still have to take preventative, but it sounds like you do not, so I hope some of this stuff helps! I had a female friend who was in a similar situation and once she got on BC that completely stopped her periods, her menstrual migraines completely went away. She was so happy. I was so jealous. :)

    I would be very wary of herbal remedies like feverfew because they are not well understood and they could contain nsaids which can facilitate transition to chronic migraine when used more than 10x a month (when used just once a week they actually seem to protect against the transition to chronic migraine, so it is complicated: use alleve 1x a week, but if you are taking it 2 or more times a week you are courting the transition to chronic migraine). Papers available upon request... lol

    Oh, and please let us know, in a month or two, how you are, and what you ended up doing. :)
