B2 And Cyanocobalamin

Riboflavin, also known as Vitamin B2, is a water-soluble vitamin that occurs naturally in foods like eggs, milk, and meat. It is often produced commercially through fermentation using microorganisms. Riboflavin is essential for energy production and cell function in the body.

Manufacturers add riboflavin primarily as a nutrient supplement to fortify foods like cereals, bread, and pasta. It also functions as a yellow colorant in some products. It is commonly found in processed meats, baked goods, and dairy products.

Riboflavin is recognized as safe and effective by the FDA when used as a nutrient supplement. The FDA also lists it as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) for use as a food colorant. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated riboflavin and established acceptable daily intakes. At typical dietary levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
