The Riboflavin Page


My absolute favorite vitamin is Riboflavin. Why do I have a favorite vitamin? Why not? People have favorite colors for irrational reasons, so I can't see any reason why it's not OK to have a special vitamin. And believe me, riboflavin has many special things about it.

Even the name RIBOFLAVIN is great. Riboflavin is also known as Vitamin B2. But the name riboflavin is the reason I like the vitamin. The name riboflavin is full of energy, and makes me feel energetic. Actually, that is one of the exceptional things about riboflavin. It aids in metabolism and helps produce energy for cells. I am very glad that riboflavin is a water-soluble vitamin, so it does not matter how much riboflavin you take in. Your body will get rid of whatever it doesn't need. So when you're thinking about taking that extra vitamin of riboflavin or that second glass of milk to boost your riboflavin intake for the day, go for it!!! You can have it all!

Foods with Riboflavin

If you are a vegan or vegetarian, you may want to consider supplementing your diet with riboflavin.
