So, what is y riboflavina?

Riboflavin, commonly known as vitamin B2, is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a vital role in maintaining good health. It is a yellow, crystalline substance that is essential for the proper functioning of the body's metabolism. Riboflavin is commonly found in foods such as milk, eggs, and leafy green vegetables. It is involved in the production of energy, the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins, and the maintenance of healthy skin, eyes, and nervous system. Riboflavin deficiency can lead to a range of health problems, including anemia, skin disorders, and vision problems. Supplementation with riboflavin is commonly recommended for individuals with a high risk of deficiency, such as pregnant or lactating women, the elderly, and individuals with certain medical conditions.
