Vitamin B2

維他命 B2 又名核黃素

Riboflavin, Lactoflavin

Traditional Use Riboflavin aids in the production of enzymes necessary for the conversion of fats, proteins and carbohydrates into energy. It is needed for red blood cell formation and for the production of antibodies and neurotransmitters. Riboflavin also promotes healthy hair, skin, nails, and vision and is essential for the other B vitamins to function properly. Since riboflavin is water soluble, it is lost in sweat and urine and must be replaced daily from dietary sources.

Origin and Sources Found in organ meats such as liver, kidney and heart; also in milk, almonds, cheese, eggs, lean meat, raw mushrooms, beer and wheat bran.
