B like vitamin B2 (riboflavin)
Vitamin B2 – Cell energy & radiance for skin, eyes and nerves
Vitamin B2 , also known as riboflavin , is an essential, water-soluble B vitamin. It supports your energy metabolism , helps convert food into cellular energy , and contributes to protection against oxidative stress .
Particularly exciting for women: Vitamin B2 supports the health of skin, hair and nails , has a positive effect on eyesight and the nervous system – and is indispensable, especially during periods of hormonal change or in vegan diets .
Typical symptoms of a deficiency can be:
Dry skin & chapped corners of the mouth
Increased sensitivity to light
Irritability or difficulty concentrating
Since the body cannot store vitamin B2, a daily intake through diet or high-quality supplements is crucial – especially during stressful phases of life or pregnancy.
