Description
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) is an essential water-soluble vitamin vital for energy production, cellular function, growth, and development. As a key component of flavoproteins involved in metabolic pathways, it plays a significant role in energy metabolism and has antioxidant properties. It is generally safe, with high doses potentially causing harmless yellow urine. It has also been investigated for its potential benefits in migraine prevention. Supplementation should align with recommended dietary allowances, and higher doses for therapeutic purposes should be administered under medical supervision.
