Can I take St john's wort and Vitamin b2 together?

Why this happens

St John's Wort is known for affecting how the liver processes many medicines (via the CYP450 enzyme system), but Vitamin B2 is a water-soluble vitamin that is not processed in a way that interferes with this herbal supplement. They do not compete for the same pathways in the body.

What you should do

You can take these two together. However, always inform your doctor or pharmacist about all supplements you are taking, as St John's Wort can interact with many prescription medications, such as blood thinners, birth control, and antidepressants.
