Another name for Riboflavin is Vitamin B2, which is can be found naturally in food but also taken as a supplement. In the human body, riboflavin is a needed in multiple different reactions, usually in the either of its active forms: flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD).
Some great food options are:
- eggs
- green vegetables
- milk
Another option to get riboflavin in the diet is orange juice. It only contains 4% of your daily intake, however, it is convenient since it is in the POD of the CSB and in Scots Market.
orange juice in the POD/Scots Market lights on in the fridge in the POD/Scots Market does the light pass through the plastic and damage the riboflavin, creating harmful compounds?
