Very safe: 2 well-conducted studies show that 400 mg of B2 was very effective in cutting migraines in half or more in the majority of those who took it and both studies found it "safe" (no serious side effects, though some minor ones). See https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9484373 and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15257686 86% of over 1000 patients found it helped them: http://tinyurl.com/y9uefhj7
