Riboflavin And Folic Acid Water

Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) is a water-soluble vitamin that occurs naturally in foods like milk, eggs, and meat. Folic acid (Vitamin B9) is a synthetic form of folate, a B vitamin found naturally in leafy green vegetables and legumes. Both are often added to foods, especially refined grains, to increase their nutritional value.

Riboflavin and folic acid are added to foods primarily as nutrients to fortify them, helping consumers meet their daily vitamin requirements. They are commonly found in enriched grain products such as bread, pasta, and cereals, as well as in some baked goods.

Riboflavin and folic acid are essential vitamins that play key roles in metabolism and cell growth. The FDA considers them safe when added to foods. High intake of folic acid from fortified foods and supplements is generally considered safe, though very high doses can mask a vitamin B12 deficiency. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated both nutrients and established acceptable daily intakes. Regulatory bodies generally consider them safe for consumption at levels typically found in fortified foods.
