Description

Vitamin B2, also known as riboflavin, is one of the eight B vitamins that are essential for human health.

Roles:

  • Helps break down food components, absorb other nutrients, and maintain tissues.
  • Helps convert carbohydrates into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which produces energy as the body needs
  • Works with other B vitamins to maintain body growth and the production of red blood cells.

Effects:

  • Riboflavin helps release energy from foods and is important for the growth, development, and function of the cells in the body
  • Riboflavin functions as an antioxidant, fighting damaging particles in the body known as free radicals.
  • Riboflavin deficiency can result in macronutrients like fats, carbohydrates, and proteins not being digested to maintain the body.
  • Riboflavin is also needed to help the body change vitamin B6 and folate into forms it can use.
  • Most healthy people who eat a well-balanced diet get enough riboflavin. However, elderly people and alcoholics may be at risk for riboflavin deficiency because of poor diet.

Sources:

Riboflavin occurs naturally in some foods, added to others, and it can be taken as supplements. Here are some sources of Vitamin B2:

  • Grains, plants, and dairy products.
  • Meat, fish, and poultry.
  • Eggs, nuts, and green vegetables.

It’s important to consume Vitamin B2 every day, because the body can only store small amounts, and supplies go down rapidly.

  • It is destroyed by light and heat and in an alkaline medium.
  • It is absorbed in the upper part of the small intestine, is increased with food and delayed on an empty stomach.
  • It is converted to Riboflavin 5 Phosphate in the mitochondria.

Riboflavin 5 Phosphate:

  • Riboflavin 5 Phosphate is the active form of Vitamin B2.
  • It is synthesized in the mitochondria.
  • It is involved in many critical metabolic processes in the body.
  • It is required for the conversion of Folate and Vitamin B6 to their bioavailable forms.
