Vitamin B-2, also known as riboflavin, is a member of the B-vitamin family. It occurs naturally in green vegetables, liver, kidneys, wheat germ, milk, eggs, cheese and fish. Riboflavin is an important enzyme cofactor necessary for energy production from carbohydrate, fat, and protein. It is also needed for the regeneration of glutathione, which supports the body's natural defense mechanisms and detoxification systems.

Although the metabolic effects of vitamin B2 deficiency are strong, very few clear clinical symptoms occur. These include various skin changes. Quite common signs of deficiency are split corners of the mouth. Severe riboflavin deficiency has been associated with worsening of iron, anemia and mental disorders. Vitamin B2 deficiency alone is not usually present. Typically, this deficiency occurs with a deficiency of other nutrients. The amount of vitamin B2 in food is usually small, so in order to get the required amount from food, it is necessary to eat a well-varied diet and prefer unrefined foods.
The best sources of vitamin B2 are liver, yeast, almonds, egg, kale, cheese, spinach, bread, broccoli, dried apricots-plums, herring, avocado, pork, legumes, turkey, nuts, seeds.
