Riboflavin Vitamin B2 (100 caps)

Riboflavin or Vitamin B2 is a vitamin that is needed for growth and overall good health. It helps the body break down carbohydrates, proteins and fats to produce energy, and it allows oxygen to be used by the body.

Foods high in riboflavin include beef, tofu, milk, fish, mushrooms, spinach, almonds, avocados, and eggs.

Studies have shown that riboflavin is needed to support cognitive health, positive mood, eye health, cardiovascular health and glutathione levels in the body.

The signs and symptoms of riboflavin deficiency include skin disorders, hyperemia (excess blood) and edema of the mouth and throat, angular stomatitis (lesions at the corners of the mouth), cheilosis (swollen, cracked lips), hair loss, reproductive problems, sore throat, itchy and red eyes, and degeneration of the liver and nervous system. Anemia and cataracts can develop if riboflavin deficiency is severe and prolonged.
