• High-dose vitamin B2 : 100mg per capsule
• Bioactive coenzyme form: riboflavin 5'-phosphate (or flavin mononucleotide/FMN)
• Directly bioavailable for important metabolic reactions
• Highly pure, 100% vegan
• High-quality, natural filler: gum arabic cultivated without the use of plant protection products

The vitamin B2 contained in this formulation is the bioactive form of riboflavin-5-sodium phosphate. This directly active coenzyme is also known as flavin mononucleotide (FMN). Many vitamin B2 supplements contain the inactive precursor riboflavin instead, but this precursor must first be converted by the body into either flavin mononucleotide (FMN) or flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) to be utilised. Although FMN and FAD occur naturally in e.g. dairy products, vitamin B2 is often synthetically produced because its isolation is a complex and costly process. Given that the bioavailability of vitamin B2 from plant-based sources is significantly lower than that from animal products, we chose an ultra-pure, vegan, pharmaceutical grade active ingredient, which offers the highest possible combination of purity and bioavailability.

The only other ingredient is premium acacia fibre, cultivated without the use of plant protection products. In contrast to microcrystalline cellulose, a widely used synthetic filler often mixed with nanoparticles, gum arabic is a natural, fibre-rich food. Our fair trade acacia gum is climate neutral and is sustainably cultivated to conserve resources.

For the capsule shells we use custom-made HPMC capsules that, unlike most other HPMC and pullulan capsules on the market, are 100% free from controversial additives such as carrageenans and PEG. We then package this product in environmentally friendly amber glass.

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)

B2 is a water-soluble vitamin which occurs in many forms: in the inactive, unbound form of riboflavin, in a protein-bonded form and in 2 bioactive coenzyme forms: flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). Both of these latter forms are important enzyme cofactors that regulate numerous metabolic processes and play important roles in many body functions including energy prduction, growth, embryonic development and the protection of nerve cells.

Natural sources of vitamin B2 include dairy products, eggs and meat. Grain, fruits and vegetables contain only small amounts of B2, and plant-based B2 is less bioavailable.

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA):

Vitamin B2 contributes to:

• Normal energy metabolism
• Normal functioning of the nervous system
• Maintaining normal mucous membranes
• Maintaining normal red blood cells
• Maintaining normal skin
• Maintaining normal vision
• Normal iron metabolism
• Protecting cells against oxidative stress
• Reducing tiredness and fatigue

Recommended Dosage

Take 1 capsule (100mg vitamin B2 in the form of R5P) daily with 200ml water and a meal.

Daily Requirements

The National Health Service (NHS) recommends a daily intake of 1.3mg for men and 1.1mg for women of vitamin B2 (riboflavin). However, it is important to note that individual vitamin B2 needs may vary according to age, dietary habits, genetics and other factors.

Food Supplement

Do not exceed the recommended dose. Food supplements cannot replace a balanced and varied diet. Keep out of reach of children.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.

Ingredients: Riboflavin 5′-Phosphate Sodium, Bulking Agent (Gum Arabic), Capsule Shell (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose).

Contains: 90 capsules

All eight essential B vitamins work together. Numerous metabolic processes in the body require them; they can only achieve optimal functionality if each vitamin is in sufficient supply. Therefore, in many cases, it makes sense to supplement these vitamins together.
