Table of Contents
1. What is vitamin B2?
Vitamin B2, also called riboflavin, is a combination of two compounds fishitol and flavine. The source of this compound is mainly meat (including wild game), liver, eggs, and dairy. Other products containing high amounts of vitamin B2 include beans, peas, mushrooms, almonds, whole grains, fish (hair, mackerel, strawberries) and spinach.2. Function and use
Vitamin B2 is a very important element in the proper functioning of metabolism. It is responsible for, among other things, the production of red blood cells, the synthesis of antibodies by our immune system, as well as the regulation of intercellular respiration and the process of growth.3. Supplementation and side effects
In order to maintain safe and adequate levels of vitamin B2 in the body, low daily doses of 12 mg should be used. Higher doses, i. e. about 4 mg, may lead to an accelerated increase in stocks. Increased portions of riboflavin (from 50 mg) should be taken with food.
