What Is Riboflavin?<\/h2>\n

R<\/span>iboflavin, also called vitamin B2, is fundamentally required for the breakdown of carbohydrates, amino acids, and fats in metabolism,\u00a0enables oxygen to be used by cells, and acts as a component of more than a dozen enzymes involved in energy production and use.<\/p>\n

Some enzymes needing riboflavin also require magnesium to properly function.<\/p>\n

In other activities, riboflavin is required for healthy cardiovascular and nervous systems, eye health, and supports antioxidant protection.\u00a0\u00a0Functions are more fully described below.<\/p>\n

Urinary excretion of riboflavin cannot be detected when vitamin intake is below the required levels. On the other hand, w<\/span>hen intake exceeds saturation in the body, the vitamin and\/or its metabolites are actively excreted into urine to prevent excessive toxicity of the vitamins.1<\/a><\/p>\n
