RIBOFLAVIN FOR BIOCHEMISTRY
Riboflavin is a water-soluble B vitamin, also known as vitamin B2. In the body, riboflavin is primarily found as an integral component of the coenzymes, flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and flavin mononucleotide (FMN) (1).
Vitamin B2 helps break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. It plays a vital role in maintaining the body's energy supply. Riboflavin helps convert carbohydrates into adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The human body produces ATP from food, and ATP produces energy as the body requires it.
Vitamin B3 (niacin) formation and homocysteine regulation: Riboflavin interrelates with other vitamins notably niacin, an essential nutrient mandatory to keep the skin, digestive, and nervous system healthy. Niacin requires FAD for its formation from the amino acid, tryptophan.
