Title: Active Form Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin 5-Phosphate): Essential for Men & Women
Description:
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin 5-Phosphate) is a crucial B vitamin, acting as a key activator for other B vitamins. Without it, the activation of Vitamin B6, the conversion of tryptophan to Vitamin B3 (niacin), and the transformation of Vitamin B9 (folate) into its active forms are impossible. Riboflavin, alongside other B vitamins, plays a vital role in metabolism, facilitating energy production from food, processing macronutrients (proteins, fats, and carbohydrates), oxygenating cells, and regulating hormone function. Essential for healthy vision, Riboflavin helps produce glutathione, a critical antioxidant protecting eye health and boosting the immune system. Regular intake, through diet or supplements, may help reduce the risk of cataracts later in life. Individuals experiencing anemia, frequent migraines or headaches, or poor absorption of Vitamins B6 and B9 should consider supplementing with Riboflavin.
Optimal nutrient absorption depends on its form. Riboflavin 5′-phosphate (R5P) is a superior, readily bioavailable form that easily penetrates cells. Additional benefits include participation in redox reactions, improved color perception and night vision, and involvement in protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism, as well as hemoglobin synthesis. Deficiency can manifest as skin and mucous membrane issues, and impaired vision. Consult your doctor before use. Dietary supplements are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
