In 1879, the famous British chemist Bruce found that the upper layer of milk whey in the presence of a yellow-green fluorescent pigment, they used various methods of extraction, trying to discover its chemical nature, have not been successful. 1933, the United States scientists, such as Golbeg from more than 1,000 kilograms of milk to obtain 18 milligrams of this substance, and later people because of its molecular formula has a ribitol, called riboflavin.

The human body can not synthesize its own vitamin B2, you need to take from food, milk, cheese, lean meat, eggs, green leafy vegetables, cereal grains, animal liver and other foods are rich in vitamin B2.

Nutrivitas®Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) Applications:

Nutrivitas®Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) has many uses in the food industry as a nutrient fortification can improve the nutritional value, adding vitamin B2 to flour, rice, bread, noodles and other cereal products can make up for the loss of nutrients caused by processing, restore and improve the nutritional value of food, meet the human body's need for vitamin B2, and prevent vitamin B2 deficiency.In addition, for the elderly, vegetarians, athletes, infants and young children and other special groups of food, often add vitamin B2 to increase the nutrient density of the food to meet their physiological characteristics or special lifestyle resulting in higher nutritional needs.

Nutrivitas®Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) can be used as a food coloring agent to add color to products; it can be used with other colors to formulate more different colors to meet the needs of food in different designs; it can be used as an antioxidant to protect the quality of food; it can be used as a fermentation aid to promote the growth of microorganisms.

Nutrivitas®Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) is involved in energy metabolism in the body, helping to convert food into energy and maintain normal physiological functions. Riboflavin is an important coenzyme of several enzyme systems involved in the metabolism of sugars, fats, and proteins, helping the body produce energy and maintain normal cell function.

Nutrivitas®Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) helps maintain healthy skin, mucous membranes, and hair, and prevents symptoms such as xerostomia and gingivitis. Riboflavin deficiency can easily lead to dry skin, roughness, peeling, and other problems. Riboflavin supplementation can improve skin condition and promote cell repair and regeneration.

Nutrivitas®Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) is involved in the synthesis of visual pigment and plays an important role in maintaining normal vision. Riboflavin plays an important role in the synthesis of visual pigment in the retina, and its deficiency can easily lead to vision loss. Riboflavin supplementation can maintain visual function and prevent vision problems.

Nutrivitas®Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) enhances the body's immune function, improving resistance and preventing infections. Richtek riboflavin is involved in the production of antibodies and the regulation of immune cell function, and a deficiency can easily lead to a decline in immunity. Moderate supplementation can improve immune system function and prevent infectious diseases.

■ Absorption and metabolism

Most dietary vitamin B2 is in the form of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) coenzymes bound to proteins. Upon entering the stomach, it is separated from the protein by the action of gastric acid and absorbed in the upper part of the small intestine after being converted to free vitamin B2 in the upper gastrointestinal tract. With large intakes, the liver and kidneys often have high concentrations, but the body's ability to store vitamin B2 is limited, so it crosses the renal threshold, that is, through the urinary system, in the free form of the body, so the daily needs of the body's tissues must be supplied by the diet.

▶ Promotes growth and development

Nutrivitas®Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) plays an important role in the growth and development of children and adolescents, and a deficiency can cause growth retardation.
