Thanks EO for looking out for these health issues on carnivore instead of pretending that carnivore solves all health problems like lots of u tubers. All your b vitamin videos have helped me.

You certainly, by far, have the juiciest health related content! Thank you.

I appreciate this channel so much!

As always, a cool informative video. You are a true champ 👏🏻🥩🏆

When I switched to a low carb diet, the eczema on my right hand completely disappeared, my hair stopped falling out, my gum health improved and I stopped being bloated and constipated, after being on this diet for less than a month.

Great video. Thanks Elliot!

Wow! This and the other video worked perfectly for me. Thank you so so much!

Just wanted to say thank you for this info! I was suffering from some really bad SD practically all over my body. I started dosing with riboflavin and biotin per your recommendation and within a couple days fjnally started feeling better and within a couple weeks my skin has improved dramatically! God bless you! Keep up the good work!

Nice one! Very helpful information

Well done! Another great video!

I've been searching the entire internet for an explanation on my face and hair problems and so far this is the only and best explanation. If this is you're channel you've got a new subscriber!. Thank you for an amazing video^^

Wow! Great vid brotha!! Amazing

EONutrition is a gem on KZfaq. Informative and objective. Thank you Elliot. By the way - where in France are you located?

EO! You mention heat and excessive sunlight exposure potentially creating a deficiency. I wonder if daily infra red sauna could contribute to a higher need for B2 and Biotin? Much appreciated everything you contribute!

Everyone should check this video out. Its great and knowledgeable. Good work.

Thank you for sharing. I have this and l also have MS and other diseases too. I really wanted to find more because a dermatologist told me I got this from having to much oil on my head but I have it on face too. Thank you for helping me find more about this disease.

This is exactly what's happening to me. I've been supplementing with methylated B2 for awhile now and my skin improved, then I went full carnivore and this is what happened to me. Perhaps my previous alcohol consumption has kept me from having sufficient riboflavin before going carnivore. I thought it was yeast, fungus or toxin release overload, but all the symptoms match your content. Thank you, I will continue to push through with this in mind

Great vid. Been suffering myself with scalp issues so I may try this. Can anyone recommend a good brand of riboflavin supplement please? It’s hard to know which will be best or even work. Thanks. X

Great work!

Your B1 vitamin/thiamine videos have helped my air hunger issues tremendously, thank you.

After numerous keto/carnivore attempts it has always given me a dry scalp, my conclusion is the loss of water weight from no carbs drys me out, I add 70 to 80g of carbs and the dryness disappears, hope this helps someone, its all about trial and error

Interesting this seems to explain my issues and why eating liver makes me feel better.

This was helpful. Thank you

Thank you, this is very helpful to know. This is a common problem people struggle with.

Thank you so much! I appreciate the time and research you have put into this video. My tea tree oil treatments aren't working very well. The healing process has been much slower than expected and now I know why. I always like to try and treat the root cause of symptoms and wonderful people like you help provide the knowledge to do so. Bless you!

Well I’ve survived the refeeding syndrome getting up to 700mg of thiamine a day, now I’m slowly adding in liver pills and a biotin supplement. Let the refeeding syndrome begin again! Ugh at least I’m gaining weight for the first time in 5 years. Thanks for the the excellent video.

Thanks for the video!

Hi. Thanks for such an informational video. I have a question. Does any of the riboflavin and/or biotin metabolization process depend on the liver? Or could a fatty liver weigh down the efficient absorption or usage of riboflavin and/or biotin? That would be interesting to know. Thanks again.

I have this on and off. It's aged me terribly and my hands are very 'crepey' (I'm only 37!) Got worse recently as I've been upping my fats. Now I might have a reason for that! It seems to be a common complaint in chronic diseases like m.e, which I have. Oily fish and liver do help a bit but I have to eat an awful lot and I get quite sick of these foods! Plus upping my fats has dulled my appetite, which was the idea since I have a few extra pounds to lose. As soon as I take a few days off the dry skin comes right back, especially if I eat poultry. I've been supplementing with nutritional yeast. What are your thoughts on this? (I don't find that it helps much).

I'm glad I found this video! I've been on keto off and on and lately my skin and scalp has gotten so dry. I understand now why we should take B complex or nutritional yeast while on keto. Thank you for this information!

I had all kind of skin problems as well as other oxalate problems on keto. I'm now on raw grass fed milk kefir, meat, liver, low fat and no more problems. The only problem I have how is muscle twiching. I added allithiamine and magnesium citrate, hopefully it will help. Eliot, do you think we need some glucose, because glucose need for fat oxidation? Thank you very much for sharing information!!!

Thank you. I had dandruff and couldn't figure out why. Never notice it since I ate liver daily now. This is great information.

THANK YOU! I was doing keto for about 3 months, and suddenly it was like my skin was falling off, especially around my ears. I kept seeing that it was because I was dehydrated, but I was drinking water like a camel stocking up.

I never had this beard rash until I started using electric razors. I haven't for a couple years but still have this dam rash. I have a keto cream and it works but the rash keeps coming back whenever my beard grows. It's crazy annoying.

The only thing that has helped my seb dermatitis is taking caprylic acid orally and working with a. Functional medicine doctor to address my mold exposure. I’ve tried every diet from keto , low fod maps, to carnivore and the only foods I tend to get flare ups from are things that have yeast or flour in them… so I stay away from those

Hi EO, the best presentation i have ever watched and when is the best time to take B2?

I believe I have this dermatitis. I have been following Keto & low carb for several months. After watching both videos, I am willing to try supplementing these two B vitamins. However, is it true that eggs contain a lot of Biotin?. Can eating two eggs per day for a long period cause the dermatitis?. I’m trying not to compound my problem, Thanks.

Thanks, a well-thought-out video. Dr Greg Russell-Jones, an Australian biochemist, has tied low B2 to low B12 & thence to autism & CFS. A lot of the people he treats seem to improve or recover.

Thanks for this video. Would you consider doing one on hemochromatosis?

Thank you this video helped so much

What about yeast overgrowth? Many with seb derm have yeast overgrowt

I had this condition b4 starting keto.... keto doesn't create this evidenced log b4 starting keto. Keto has helped me with this condition

Thank you EONutrition! I've been plagued with seborrhea and rheumatoid arthritis for 40 years! I've tried everything! These two videos had a very loud ring of truth to them, so I couldn't get the B2 and B7 here fast enough! I started taking them 2 days ago, and I can already tell you have hit the nail on the head finally! I do copious amounts of cod liver oil, vitamin D with the K2-M7, all the B vitamins in non-fortified yeast, natural C, magnesium, zinc, and many others . . . These two in much larger quantities was the answer all along! RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!!! My face from the seborrhea, my hands and back from the rheumatoid arthritis are feeling at least 50% better today! In all the excitement, I forgot all the other stuff. I'm going to go take them NOW! If you look up in the air and see a speeding bullet, it's me FEELING GREAT! Thank you again, EONutrition! You are worth your weight X 100 in gold!

Would Keratosis Pilaris be in any way triggered by a lack of riboflavin? I have both SD and KP and am eating the foods mentioned. Is a thyroid problem at the heart of this?

That's weird because my seborrhoeic dermatitis usually clears up on this diet. It's carbs that make it worse for me. I do have the mthfr mutation though.

Dude...thank you so much. I thought I was just going to go blind with the rash around my eyes.😭

Could a MTHFR Gene mutation be responsible for this dysfunction? Is there a link?

Hello, any experience with treating oily skin and/or acne on carnivore diet?

I always thought I was feeding the yeast by eating too many carbs and sugar and the solution would be Keto.

Do you have a recommendation on a good source of Riboflavin supplement?

I eat alot of liver take biotin supplement and I have these condition ... Can bition supplement be the cause?

Hello from India ! Thank you for the info , I've been eating organ meat(mutton liver) once a week for the last 3 weeks , by when do you think I can see some difference

Biotine and B2 are both blocked by avidin and most people eating eggs don't know the white needs to be cooked separately as they need 6 mns to neutralise avidin. I eat raw yolks and also raw whites sometimes, but I drink them away from food when I want to clean the gut.

In May 2023 I had a serious infection in my foot which involved hospital infusion of antibiotics and afterwards a strong oral antibiotic for 20 days. Been Keto since Nov 2018. Type 2 diabetic since 1999. Life long Psoriasis, which has improved immensely on Keto. Went mainly Keto Carnivore about 10 months ago. Recently have started to have the dermatitis described. The recent antibiotics really upset my intestinal tract for about 2 months. I’m guessing this could be another cause of this dermatitis? I’m upping my liver consumption, which I had not been eating consistently. Thanks for the video, extremely helpful. If that fails I’ll try the supplements. What’s are Labcorp test called to test the urinary organic acids etc?

I’m struggling with supplements. What’s the best brand ?

I had a bad case of dandruff and psoriasis. After 2 weeks doing carnivore, my skin heal. I MAKE SURE I HAVE ENOUGH FATS IN MY DIET.

Mine started before trying to go more carnivore (when I was still eating high carbs at times). I've cut out high carb foods, and am eating almost exclusively animal products for about 3 weeks now. Many improvements in other symptoms and in weight, but skin doesn't seem to be responding, and I'm almost exclusively eating the foods you recommend here. ??? Should I give it longer to respond? By rights, the diet alone should supply sufficient of these nutrients.

Do you feel riboflavin uses up potassium as much as b1 and b12?

Great video l got out. Thanks

I have flakes inside of my nose it's really itchy Everytime I clean it it bloody little bit and prickly pls reply neednur help😭 ty

I cant find a supplement with 100 mg Riboflavin in it. Which one do you use?

Thanks doc I’ll give it a shot ✊🏻

Vit b can help nutritional yeast n k2

Can you please do a video on mega dosing flush-inducing Niacin, along with NAD+, and Flush-Free Niacin as Inositol Hexanicotinate? I believe this is a key composition to addressing some individuals with Seborrheic Dermatitis along with mega dosing Biotin at around 5400mcg. I still need time to complete this iteration of supplementation, but I have definitely seen some improvement. Today, I increased my Inositol Hexanicotinate daily dosage to 2,000mg per day with food in one dose with 1,000mg Niacin as Nicotinamide, plus 600mg NAD+ as Nicotinamide Riboside Chloride later in the afternoon with a second meal. This overall protocol was "reached" after somewhat slowly titrating the dosage with emphasis on speed rather than comfort. I do have concerns about my liver and heart, but I can't tolerate the Seborrheic Dermatitis without a good fight.

I've developed a red swollen patch on my left eyelid, for about a year it would come and go, now it won't go away, I wake up with dry flaky skin on it, the eye doctor gave me an ointment that doesn't work, sometimes I get a little patch of it on my under eyelid, and sometimes I get a little patch on my right eyelid. Everyone says to go to the dermatologist, I've tried so many home remedies, nothing is working. I have the hooded eye issue starting, actually getting worse, was really wanting to get that surgically fixed but the red swollen lid is right in the crease, and gets crusty over night. Do you think it could be a vitamin b issue?

I have these symptoms, as well as a deficiency in riboflavin and other B’s according to blood tests and a recent OAT. Not sure why, but supplementing riboflavin yesterday gave me severe insomnia, weak chest feeling, shortness of breath, neuropathy & numbness, increased anxiety, burning eyes, increased body heat, very red nose/face/body, small flushed red freckled patches on nose, terrible brain fog... why might this have happened? Any possible missing cofactors?

This is interesting because when I switched from a medium carb low fat diet to Keto, my symptoms of Seb Derm completely vanished from face and scalp. But the key is healthy fats and omega 3s

Holy crap!!!! That is all me!!! Every symptom that you rattled off, I have that! 😳😳😳😳😳😳

Caprylic acid and b complex seems to work 80% gone: The nose sides and eye brows beard kept flaking off skin and dandruff too.

ok, you say right away there is a yeast! I was saying fungi... I think there can be fungi without having the B2 defficiency.

Not the contrary? I have Seborrheic Dermatitis and I've been on keto 2 years now. Whenever I was in deeper and strict ketosis, i.e. without days of being kicked-out due to carbs, I definitely had less problems with SD, not more. Carbs like chips and alcohol do terrible things to my skin on the next day after eating so almost immediately (also staying with someone who smokes cigarettes).

It seems to me that these types of symptoms are most likely due to food intolerances, histamine intolerance, and microbial die off.

This makes sense 2 me went mostly carnivore, and my face and hair and scalp gone very dry.. I must up my water intake

I have bad Seborrheic Dermatitis on my face and when I go on a keto diet, it clears it up beautifully. The keto diet is so hard to follow though, so I’m not sure what I should do.

This makes a lot of sense to me. Resonates with the problems I’m having. How much B2 is safe to take. 300mg sounds a lot.

Can you expand on what to do and have tested if we've thyroid issues? My scalp inflammation and subsequent hair shedding is worse than ever since going very low carb/carnivore, despite eating liver a few days a week, i suspect my sluggish thryoid may be struggling

I get this from dairy and sugars..

So basically i should absorb more vitamin b2?

What B vitamins do you supplement yourself?

IS THIS REAL? Has anyone here improved or CURED their Seborrheic Dermatitis with Riboflavin supplements? I've lost most of my hair and I'm only 23. The condition improves dramatically on a ultra low fat high carb vegan diet, but never goes away 100%. meats, oils, butter, dairy all make give me extreme flair ups

WOW....my son and I suffer from this. Between last Nov 2020 and Feb 2021 I an hypothyroid and I suffered really badly from Seborrheic Dermatitis but I thought it was caused by a reaction to a shampoo. My son does Keto and he also suffered from it and for him it got so bad that he ended up shaving his hair off. He cannot eat dairy being lactose intolerant. Thank you so much for posting this information.

I wonder if i should just quit keto, hard to know. Perhaps a paleo style diet might suit better. Sounds like i am deficient in b2, i have bad dermatitis on my hands and have the flaking chapped lips with cut at the corner of my mouth. Not pleasant, although i am otherwise great on keto. Dont want to be running in to issues with being depleted because of it

So I have redness on cheeks and forehead same as pictures in videos. What's the best thing for me to eat and not eat? I just found the video a little hard to follow

Allopathic Doctors don’t prescribe T3 for those who has Hypothyroidism. So just learned of another thing they messed up: B12 absorption.

Thank you very much for this information. I appreciate your videos vey much. You present well and my impression is that your shared knowledge is very well researched. My dandruff of 40+ years disappeared when I started keto two years ago - still keto and still no dandruff. My skin was never better. Also no more constant mucus, perfect gut function for the first time in decades. Excellent blood values as well now. Got rid of BP medicine as well. I eat a lot of eggs, beef and mushrooms as well as some liver from time to time so maybe that's what saved me? I'm not religious about Keto btw it just seems to work well in my case.

Is neon green urine a sign of excessive riboflavin and means you dont need it?

Strange when I used to eat lots of carbs pasta and bread I had dandruff all my life but when initially started with keto 2.5 years ago and then carnivore and I go back and forward I stop having any dandruff and my hair and now thick and strong no itching no nothing. I also started to wash my hair with ACV and in my opinion it is the best.

Hi, I noticed my urine color turn bright highlighter like yellow and it’s been like that since i started taking B2 and I googled what supplements cause that and it said riboflavin. So should I not supplement? What should I do?

I initially watched this because my daughter struggles with dermatitis. But when you said that low Riboflavin can cause iron-unresponsive anemia, I was a little shocked. I have been carnivore for 2 years now, and though I have had anemia on and off prior to carnivore, my iron kept getting lower and lower, despite all my iron intake. A nurse practitioner told me I need to supplement, so I began heme supplements (Proferrin). Despite that, it kept getting lower. I tried every other day in case it was hepcidin blocking my absorption. Still going lower. Serum iron reached 4.5 at its lowest in January. I switched to ferrous sulphate every other day with vitamin C, and in March, iron jumped up to 12. I'm still tired, and it seems crazy that I have to supplement with so much iron. I'm taking liquid Palafer now with vitamin C. I'm going to supplement with B2 and see what happens. It theoretically makes sense that since I increased my fat take substantially, that I need more B2 and I'm not getting it. I tried to eat beef liver but it's disgusting and I gag. I like chicken liver, but I can't find it anymore where I am.

Glad i found this video, im on carnivore diet and i have seborrheic dermatitis, wich i have never have before this diet

Dairy, lean meat, yogurt, eggs, cheese, spinach, beef liver, spinach… all have B2.

I have HYPOthyroidism and I’ve got seborrheic dermatitis, i have low carbs, keto diet, no dairy, red meats and wheat. What to I need to do to get scalp back healthy again?

uhhhh most keto foods have b2

Thank you for the two videos about seborrheic dermatitis. My face and scalp are really oily and it seems biotin makes things worse, but since taking 400-800mg Riboflavin per day my hands, face , and chronic chapped lips are a little less dry. B6 (and minerals) deficiency are mentioned in the other video, what would be the dosage? Has anyone had success with it? Thanks

Menthol or camphor can trigger

Thank you so much for explaining this so clearly. I was diagnosed with hyperuricimia a few years back which happily I've managed to get under control with diet but I've developed painful dandruff especially around my nose and hairline. Going to give supplemental B vitamins a try first.. Makes perfect sense now!

thank You. I would like to learn more about Riboflavin's involvement in Iron-absorption/Iron-metabolism. could You, please, point Me in the right direction? have You any materials to read on this very topic? I'll very much appreciate. regards.

I went keto carnivore and developed the worst dry skin and dry mouth . My tongue still feels weird

I suspect my flaky dry skin is due to detox after yrs of high carb & sugar- poor eating habits. I would hesitate to add all these supplements w/o knowing the cause of suspected vitamin deficiencies. Esp. considering how vitamin supplements have so many unhealthy additives. I had some pretty bad yeast rashes due to hyperglycemia, & from too high of a dose of levothyroxine after losing weight. Once my dose was decreased my blood sugar improved and the rashes disappeared FINALLY. Keep in mind there may be "other" causes of skin rashes beyond or instead of riboflavin. js

For me this started happening when I was vegan for a year after I stopped So when I was vegan I was fine, then I stopped and it started happening
