Yes: Riboflavin is also known as vitamin b2. Taking a separate supplement isn't usually necessary, as most of the b family (b1, b2, b6, b12, folate, (folic acid) etc.) are included in a multi-vitamin or prescription prenatal vitamin.

Entirely: Yes, riboflavin, also known as vitamin b2, is entirely safe to take when pregnant or breastfeeding. B2 is essential for cell growth & repair, red blood cell production, immune function, nervous system function and healthy vision and skin.
