Vitamin B2, Riboflavin, is a water-soluble vitamin that important for our overall health and well-being. Riboflavin is a component of two key coenzymes associated with oxidation processes in our bodies. These two coenzymes, flavin monocucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), function as oxidation-reduction reactionarie.

Vitamin B2 storage in the body is relatively small and is in direct correlation to our protein stores. Riboflavin is easily depleted when proteins are catabolized. It is also is not as readily absorbed as other B-vitamins and their associated compounds. Therefore, it is important to supply our bodies with this essential B vitamin on a daily basis.
