Riboflavin (vitamin B2) Facts
Vitamin B2, also known as riboflavin, is a water-soluble B-vitamin that plays a central role in the body's energy metabolism. It serves as a building block for coenzymes that drive many chemical reactions needed for cellular function and growth. Because the body does not store riboflavin in significant amounts, it must be consumed regularly through diet or supplementation.
Key Benefits of Riboflavin (vitamin B2):
- Helps convert carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into energy.
- Contributes to the regeneration of glutathione, one of the body's key antioxidants.
- Plays a role in maintaining normal function of nerve cells.
Why it Matters:
Modern diets, daily stressors, and high activity levels can sometimes increase the body's demand for riboflavin. Supplementation helps fill nutritional gaps and supports metabolism.
