For prevention and treatment of vitamin B2 (riboflavin) deficiency conditions such as cheilosis, angular stomatitis, glossitis, keratitis, and seborrhoeic dermatitis.

Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) is a water-soluble, easily absorbed micronutrient essential for maintaining normal human health. It plays a key role in energy production by assisting the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. It is also necessary for red blood cell formation, cellular respiration, antibody production, and regulation of growth and reproductive functions. Additionally, riboflavin supports healthy skin, hair, nails, and overall well-being, including thyroid regulation. It is also involved in maintaining eye health and may help in preventing or managing certain eye disorders, including cataracts.

Riboflavin acts as a precursor of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). It interacts with riboflavin-dependent enzymes such as riboflavin kinase and riboflavin synthase. Its antioxidant activity is mainly due to its conversion into FAD, which plays a crucial role in the production of reduced glutathione. Reduced glutathione is an important antioxidant involved in cellular defense and is regenerated by the FAD-dependent enzyme glutathione reductase.

For treating low levels of riboflavin (riboflavin deficiency) in adults: 5-30 mg of riboflavin daily in divided doses.

For preventing migraine headaches: 400 mg of riboflavin (Vitamin B2) per day. It may take up to three months to get best results.

For preventing cataracts: approximately 2.6 mg of riboflavin (Vitamin B2).
