Vitamin B2, also called riboflavin, works with other vitamins in the B complex to process calories from carbohydrates, protein and fat. Your body needs it for growth and red cell production, and adequate riboflavin intake promotes healthy skin and good vision. Nutritionists categorize vitamins by the materials that a vitamin will dissolve in. There are two categories: water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins. Water-soluble vitamins, which include the B-complex group and vitamin C, travel through the bloodstream. Whatever water-soluble vitamins are not used by the body are eliminated in urine, which means you need a continuous supply of them in your food. Vitamin B2 is a water-soluble vitamin.

How Much Vitamin B2 Is Enough?
Women should have 1.1 milligrams of riboflavin daily and men should have 1.7 milligrams daily.

Sources of Vitamin B2

  • Riboflavin-enriched breads and cereals

  • Green, leafy vegetables
