Riboflavin, or vitamin B2, is a vital water-soluble vitamin integral to the body′s metabolism and energy production. It is central to the formation of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), key coenzymes in various metabolic processes. Found in a variety of food sources such as dairy, eggs, meats, green vegetables, and fortified cereals, riboflavin facilitates the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into energy. It is essential for cellular growth and development, contributing to the maintenance of healthy skin, nails, hair, and the proper functioning of the nervous system and vision. The vitamin′s role extends to the synthesis of DNA, RNA, proteins, certain hormones, and enzymes, highlighting its comprehensive impact on the body′s metabolic, cellular, and developmental processes. Research into riboflavin has uncovered its significant benefits beyond metabolism, including protective effects on vision and potential benefits for cognitive health and mood, emphasizing its broad relevance to overall well-being.
