Nutricost Vitamin B2 - Riboflavin
Vitamin B2 is commonly known as Riboflavin and is a member of the B-Vitamin family. Vitamin B2 occurs naturally in green vegetables, liver, kidneys, wheat germ, milk, eggs, cheese and fish. Because food processing depletes many naturally occurring nutrients, supplementation is key to help insure adequate intake of this important vitamin.
Vitamin B2 helps support many of the body's systems and is an essential vitamin. Riboflavin is also needed to help the body change vitamin B6 and folate into forms it can use.
Some symptoms of riboflavin deficiency may include:
- Fatigue
- Slowed growth
- Digestive problems
- Cracks and sores around the corners of the mouth
- Swollen magenta-colored tongue
- Eye fatigue
- Swelling and soreness of the throat
- Sensitivity to light
