Presentation Transcript

  1. Vista Nutrition Vitamin B2 Riboflavin, also known as vitaminB2 is an easily absorbed micronutrient with a key role in maintaining health in humans and animals. It is the central component of the cofactors FAD and FMN, and is therefore required by all flavoproteins. As such, vitamin B2 is required for a wide variety of cellular processes. It plays a key role in energy metabolism, and for the metabolism of fats, ketone bodies, carbohydrates, and proteins. It is also used as an orange-red food colour additive, designated in Europe as the E numberE101.

  2. How it works !? • Riboflavin acts as a coenzyme -- the non-protein, active portion of an enzyme -- helping to metabolize carbohydrates, fats, and proteins in order to provide the body with energy. Riboflavin has a connection to glutathione, one of the enzymes that rids the body of free radicals. It helps in the regeneration of this beneficial compound. • Riboflavin has many health benefits -- it is thought to decrease migraines, help prevent cataracts, and even alleviate sickle-cell disease. Keep reading to learn more about riboflavin's therapeutic value.

  3. *Benefits* • Vitamin B2 is an increasingly popular and widely prescribed preventive therapy against migraine headaches.  • Vitamin B2 is essential for promoting healthy eyes and vision. • Vitamin B2 plays an important adjunct role in treating anaemia as well as sickle cell anaemia, two conditions that are associated with low levels of vitamin B2.

  4. Supplement Facts • Free riboflavin is found in milk, beef liver, and in enriched breads and cereals. In most foods, riboflavin occurs as one of its coenzyme derivatives, flavin mononucleotide (FMN) or flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). FMN is metabolized in the body to form FAD. • Vitamin B2, or riboflavin, is an essential nutrient and plays a key role in energy production. • No of servings per day – 1 Capsule Variants • Vista Nutritions Vitamin B2 100 Capsules • Vista Nutritions Vitamin B2 200 Capsules

  5. Why Do You Need Vitamin B2 • It is required by the body to use oxygen and the metabolism of amino acids, fatty acids, and carbohydrates. Riboflavin is further needed to activate vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), helps to create niacin and assists the adrenal gland.  • It eases watery eye fatigue and may be helpful in the prevention and treatment of cataracts.  • It is also needed when protein intake is high, and is most beneficial to the skin, hair and nails. • Vitamin B2 is required for the health of the mucus membranes in the digestive tract and helps with the absorption of iron and vitamin B6. • *These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.
