B-2: all-rounder of the metabolism

What is riboflavin (vitamin B2)?

Riboflavin is one of the 8 water-soluble B vitamins and is referred to as “growth vitamin” colloquially.
Plants and microorganisms are able to produce riboflavin, but humans and animals are not. They are dependent on a sufficient supply through foods.
In the food industry, riboflavin is often used as colouring due to its yellow colour. Furthermore, riboflavin is known to give the urine, with which excess riboflavin is excreted, a harmless bright yellow colour.

Which foods contain Riboflavin?

Milk, dairy products and eggs contain riboflavin and it can be found in various vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, asparagus, fish, meat and whole grain products.

Function of riboflavin

All living organisms are able to process B2 and produce biologically active forms. Whether the brain, liver, heart or kidneys - riboflavin is part of the respiratory chain (ATP) and is needed in each of our 70 billion body cells.
The vitamin is a component of different coenzymes and is of great importance in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, fatty acids, amino acids and vitamins (B6, niacin, folic acid) in the human organism.
As an antioxidant, it contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative stress. In the context of the energy metabolism, it contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Furthermore, vitamin B2 riboflavin supports the eyes, skin, mucous membranes and nerves.
