vitamin B2, releases energy from carbohydrates. B2 is destroyed by exposure
to light, therefore foods with riboflavin should be keep in dark or
opaque containers. Riboflavin is a water-soluble vitamin in the
B-complex group. Riboflavin (vitamin B2) works with the other
B vitamins. It is important for body growth and red blood cell production
and helps in releasing energy from carbohydrates.
Food Sources
Lean meats, eggs, legumes,
nuts, green leafy vegetables, dairy products, and milk provide riboflavin
in the diet. Breads and cereals are often fortified with riboflavin.

in the food supply. Significant deficiency syndromes are characterized by
sore throat, swelling of mucous membranes, mouth and/or lip sores, anemia,
and dermatitis. There is no known toxicity to riboflavin. Because riboflavin
is a water-soluble vitamin, excess amounts are easily excreted by the body
in the urine.
