  • Pharmacological properties: Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) is a coenzyme of enzymes that catalyze a number of redox reactions, thus it participates in the metabolism of proteins, fats and nucleic acids. Riboflavin plays an important role in the metabolism of vitamins B6 and B12. Vitamin B2 is well absorbed in the digestive tract and binds to plasma proteins.
  • Storage conditions: Store in a dry place at a temperature not exceeding 25ºС.
  • Packaging and storage: Vitamin B2 is packed in 25 kg polyethylene bags. Shelf life is 3 years.

Effectiveness of application: Vitamin B2 is necessary for the formation of red blood cells and antibodies, for cell respiration and growth. It facilitates the absorption of oxygen by skin, nail and hair cells, improves the condition of the organ of vision (along with vitamin A). Vitamin B2 has a positive effect on the mucous membranes of the digestive tract. Riboflavin minimizes the negative impact of various toxins on the respiratory tract. Riboflavin is necessary for the metabolism of tryptophan, which is converted into niacin in the body. One of the most valuable qualities of riboflavin is its ability to accelerate the conversion of pyridoxine (vitamin B6) into its active form in the body.
