Riboflavin-5-Phosphate - what’s that?

This is a related form of the well-known riboflavin (vitamin B2), more precisely the activated form of this B vitamin. In the body, it acts as a coenzyme and as a catalyst in various chemical reactions. Another name for this compound is flavin mononucleotide (FMN).

Vitamin B2 - special features

As vitamin B2 has an intense yellow colour, it is frequently used in the food industry as a colouring agent in puddings, ice cream, sweets, cheese and other foods. The excretion of this water-soluble vitamin takes place via the kidneys, so that the urine can also take on a strong but harmless yellow colour.
In addition, riboflavin is a very heat-stable vitamin that can withstand cooking processes well. However, B2-rich foods should always be stored in the dark as they are light-sensitive.

Vitamin B2 in food

The best sources of vitamin B2 include above all milk and dairy products, meat, fish, wholemeal products and vegetables such as broccoli and kale.
Other vegetable B2 suppliers include legumes, nuts, mushrooms and oilseeds.
