Riboflavin, also known as vitamin B2, plays a key role in releasing energy from macronutrients to all cells of the body. It also helps change the amino acid trypophan into niacin, another B vitamin. Riboflavin contributes to normal growth, production of certain hormones, formation of red blood cells, and never function. The metabolic function of B vitamins ( releasing energy from micronutrients ) is particularly crucial to brain health.
The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for vitamin B2 is 1.6 milligrams for men aged twenty-three to fifty, 1.4 milligrams for men fifty-one and older, 1.3 milligrams for women up to age twenty-two, and 1.2 milligrams for women twenty-three and older. Pregnant women require an additional 0.3 milligrams daily, and women who are breastfeeding require and extra 0.5 milligrams. Riboflavin has no established UL ( upper limit), but moderation is always best.
Food rich in riboflavin include:
- Beef liver
- Enriched-grain foods
- Green leafy vegetables
- low-fat yogurt
- Milk
- Whole-grain foods
