Riboflavin

Factory Supply  Vitamins Riboflavin Vitamin B2 CAS No 83-88-5

Vitamin B2, also known as riboflavin is the second of eight B vitamins. The word “flavin” comes from the Latin “flavus,” meaning yellow. So, vitamin B2 gets its name from its color. This can be seen when high supplementation occurs, as your urine becomes bright yellow as the excess riboflavin is excreted.

While helping to produce energy is one of its uses, riboflavin is also an antioxidant working to rid the body of free radicals. Riboflavin is also needed to help the body change vitamin B6 and folate into usable forms. Other important functions include body growth and red blood cell production.

Riboflavin takes the form of flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) or flavin mononucleotide (FMN) when it is active in the body's energy pathways. When it converts into these two forms it allows oxygen-based energy production to occur by attaching to protein enzymes. When FAD and FMN attach to proteins they are often called flavoproteins. Flavoproteins can be found all through the body but are mainly based where oxygen-based energy production is needed, for example the heart and skeletal muscle.

Vitamin B2 Side Effects

There is no known toxicity to riboflavin. Because riboflavin is a water-soluble vitamin, excess amounts are easily excreted by the body in the urine. Possible reactions to very high doses may include itching, numbness, burning or prickling sensations, and sensitivity to light.

Vitamin B2 Researched Uses

Preventing migraine headaches: High doses of riboflavin, around 400 mg/day, seem to drastically reduce the number of migraine headache attacks. The pain and duration of the headache, though, does not seem to be affected by supplementation.

Preventing cataracts: Vitamin B2, along with other nutrients, is important for normal vision. According to early research findings, riboflavin might help prevent cataracts. In one double blind, placebo-controlled study, people who took a niacin and riboflavin supplement had fewer cataracts than people who took other vitamins and nutrients. However, researchers don't know whether that was due to riboflavin, niacin, or the combination of the two. Continued research is needed to evaluate if riboflavin can really help in preventing cataracts.
