FREEDA Vitamina B2 (Riboflavina) 50 mg – 100 Comprimidos

What is vitamin B2 (riboflavin)?

Vitamin B2, also known as riboflavin, is a water-soluble vitamin essential for the proper functioning of the body. It acts as a coenzyme in key metabolic reactions, participating in energy production from food and in cell maintenance. Each FREEDA tablet provides 50 mg of riboflavin, an optimized dose that exceeds basic daily needs, ideal for those seeking specific nutritional support.

Main science-backed benefits

Riboflavin contributes to multiple physiological functions recognized by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Its benefits include:

• Contributes to normal energy metabolism, helping to convert carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into usable energy.
• Contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system, supporting nerve transmission and cognitive function.
• Contributes to the maintenance of mucous membranes under normal conditions, including those of the digestive tract.
• Contributes to the maintenance of red blood cells under normal conditions, promoting oxygen transport.
• Contributes to normal iron metabolism, essential for hemoglobin formation.
• Contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative damage, thanks to its role in the antioxidant system.

These effects are obtained as part of a balanced diet. FREEDA offers a vegan, gluten-free, and kosher formula, free from artificial additives.

Recommended dosage and available forms

The recommended daily dose of vitamin B2 for adults is between 1.4 and 1.6 mg. However, each FREEDA tablet contains 50 mg, a higher amount that may be appropriate under professional supervision or for specific needs. It is recommended to take one tablet daily, preferably with a meal. Riboflavin is presented in its inactive form (riboflavin), which is converted in the body into the active coenzymes FMN and FAD. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.

Who can benefit from taking riboflavin?

Riboflavin supplementation can be especially useful for people with restrictive diets, athletes seeking to optimize energy performance, individuals exposed to oxidative stress, or those who wish to support nervous function. It is also common in people with recurrent migraines, although this application is not approved by the EFSA. It is always advisable to consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplement.

Possible side effects and contraindications

Riboflavin is generally safe and well-tolerated, even at high doses. Excess is eliminated through urine, which may acquire an intense yellow color, a harmless and temporary effect. No significant toxicities have been reported. However, people with pre-existing medical conditions or who are taking medication should consult their doctor. Its use is not recommended in pregnant or breastfeeding women without supervision.
