Vitamin B-2 (Riboflavin)

What is Vitamin B-2 (Riboflavin)?

Vitamin B-2 (a.k.a. riboflavin) is part of the group of B-vitamins which also includes biotin, choline, folic acid, inositol, vitamin B-1, vitamin B-3, vitamin B-5, vitamin B-6 and vitamin B-12. Riboflavin can be found in dairy products, eggs, leafy green vegetables, and whole grains.

Vitamin B-2 is necessary for proper function of the cardiovascular and nervous systems, and is also involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, protein and oxygen.

Deficiency

Riboflavin deficiency is known as ariboflavinosis or pellagra sin pellagra. The common culprit of B-2 deficiency is a poor diet, as it is very easy to obtain enough riboflavin in a balanced diet. Individuals most susceptible to deficiency are those suffering from alcoholism, chronic liver disease, malabsorption, HIV disease, and the elderly.

Health Benefits

In addition to being necessary for good health, B-2 has been shown to have other benefits. Studies show that riboflavin may help ward off malaria and may prevent migraine headaches. Additionally, chronic riboflavin deficiency has been linked with development of esophageal cancer in certain areas of the world. More research is needed.
