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.
