Riboflavin

Riboflavin, also known as vitamin B2, is a nutrient commonly found in various foods. It is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a vital role in helping our bodies produce energy from the food we eat. Riboflavin is naturally present in foods such as dairy products, leafy green vegetables, whole grains, and meat.

The production of riboflavin involves both natural and synthetic methods. Natural sources like milk, eggs, and green vegetables contain riboflavin, while synthetic riboflavin is often used in food fortification and supplements. The synthetic version is made in laboratories to mimic the natural form found in foods.

Riboflavin appears on food labels due to its important role in maintaining good health. It is added to various products like breakfast cereals, bread, and pasta to ensure people get enough of this essential nutrient. Riboflavin also helps the body break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, contributing to overall energy levels and supporting normal growth and development.
