Benefits of Vitamin B2

Know the benefits of vitamin B2?

Vitamin B2, commonly called riboflavin, is a member of the B complex family. It’s a water soluble vitamin, which means your body can’t store it. You need to need to take it daily.

What it does for you:

• This vitamin helps form red blood cells and antibodies.

• It alleviates eye fatigue and helps prevent cataracts.

• Vitamin B2 helps turn carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into energy.

• Also keeps skin, nails, and hair vibrant (eliminates dandruff).

• Like folic acid, vitamin B2 is needed during pregnancy.

Sources of Vitamin B2

Here are a few of the best foods:

mushrooms, yogurt, soybeans, spinach, milk, beef tenderloin

Breads are also fortified with riboflavin. Exposure to light destroys riboflavin, so store foods in a safe place.

Vitamin B2 Supplements

With a healthy diet, you won’t have to worry about vitamin B2 deficiency. But it's an essential ingredient in any multi-nutrient supplement.

Vitamin B2 works best when taken with other vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and herbal extracts. Specifically, vitamin B2 helps your body absorb iron and vitamin B6. Please note this.
