Vitamin B2 - Riboflavin
Riboflavin, or vitamin B2, like thiamine, serves as a coenzyme—one
that must combine
with a portion of another enzyme to be effective—in the metabolism of
carbohydrates, fats, and, especially, respiratory proteins. It also serves in the maintenance of mucous membranes.
Riboflavin deficiency may be complicated by a deficiency of other B vitamins; its symptoms, which are not as
definite as those of a lack of thiamine, are skin lesions, especially around the nose and lips, and sensitivity to
light. The best sources of riboflavin are liver, milk, meat, dark green vegetables, whole grain and enriched
cereals, pasta, bread, and mushrooms.
