Vitamin B2:
Riboflavin
What is Vitamin B2?
Vitamin B2, also known as riboflavin, is one of the B vitamins that are essential for human health. It plays a crucial role in breaking down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates and is involved in maintaining the body’s energy supply.
Riboflavin is also important for the growth, development, and function of the cells in the body. It is a water-soluble vitamin, which means it is not stored in the body and needs to be consumed regularly in the diet.
What are the Symptoms of Vitamin B2 Deficiency?
Symptoms of riboflavin deficiency can include:
- Fatigue
- Swollen throat
- Blurred vision
- Depression
It can also affect the skin, causing cracks, itching, and dermatitis. Additional symptoms may involve sore throat, lesions of the lips and mucosa of the mouth, and a magenta color of the tongue. Severe riboflavin deficiency can impair the metabolism of other nutrients, particularly other B vitamins.
