Can I take Vitamin B2 and Vitamin C together?

Pourquoi cela se produit

Vitamin B2 and Vitamin C are both water-soluble vitamins that are processed by the body in different ways. They do not compete for absorption in the gut, nor do they interfere with how each other is broken down or removed from the body. They have complementary roles in supporting the immune system and energy production.

It is safe to take Vitamin B2 and Vitamin C together. You do not need to space them apart. As with all supplements, ensure you do not exceed the recommended daily allowance unless advised by a healthcare professional.

Kidney stones (oxalate)

De fortes doses de vitamine C peuvent augmenter la quantité d'oxalate dans votre urine, ce qui augmente considérablement le risque de développer des calculs rénaux, surtout si vous en avez déjà eu auparavant.

Carence en G6PD

If you have a G6PD deficiency (a genetic enzyme condition), high doses of vitamin C can cause your red blood cells to break down (haemolysis).

Alcool

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol when taking these vitamins. Alcohol can interfere with the absorption of Vitamin B2 and Vitamin C in the gut and increases the rate at which your body flushes them out, making the supplements less effective. Combining alcohol with any medicine also increases the risk of liver strain.
