Vitamin B2/Riboflavin Analysis Service

Vitamin B2, also known as riboflavin, is a vital water-soluble vitamin that belongs to the B vitamin family. It is essential for synthesizing two critical coenzymes: flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), which are crucial for energy metabolism, cellular respiration, antibody production, and overall growth and development. Riboflavin also plays a significant role in the metabolism of niacin, vitamin B6, and folic acid. While riboflavin deficiency is rare and often occurs alongside other vitamin deficiencies, it can result in health issues such as angular stomatitis and glossitis. Additionally, riboflavin is used in treating corneal thinning, and oral supplementation may help reduce the frequency of migraines. Thus, accurately measuring vitamin B2 levels in food and biological samples is essential for health assessment and nutritional supplementation.
