HoneyCombs Riboflavina Vitamina B2 Líquida en Gotas, 237 ml

What is Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)?

Riboflavin, known as vitamin B2, is a water-soluble vitamin essential for energy metabolism and cell function. It is part of the B-vitamin complex and acts as a precursor to key coenzymes (FAD and FMN) involved in oxidation-reduction reactions. As it is water-soluble, the body does not store it in large quantities, so regular intake is important to maintain optimal levels.

This HoneyCombs liquid supplement offers riboflavin in a high-potency dropper format, ideal for those seeking an easy-to-dose alternative to capsules or tablets. Its liquid presentation allows for rapid absorption and customization of dosage according to individual needs.

Main Science-Backed Benefits

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), riboflavin contributes to various bodily functions:

• Normal energy metabolism: Helps convert food into usable energy for cells.
• Normal functioning of the nervous system: Participates in the synthesis of neurotransmitters and in the protection of nerve cells.
• Maintenance of normal mucous membranes: Supports the health of the mucous membranes of the digestive and respiratory tracts.
• Maintenance of red blood cells: Involved in the production of erythrocytes and in iron metabolism.
• Protection of cells from oxidative damage: Acts as an antioxidant neutralizing free radicals.

These benefits are recognized and approved by the EFSA, ensuring that the information is reliable and scientifically sound.

Recommended Dosage and Available Forms

The recommended daily dose of riboflavin for adults according to the EU is 1.4 mg. This supplement offers high potency, with a dose per serving equivalent to 750% of the daily value, making it a suitable option for those seeking an extra contribution.

The liquid dropper form allows for flexible dosing: you can adjust the amount according to your needs, which is not possible with fixed-dose tablets or capsules. Riboflavin in this product is presented in its inactive form, although the body converts it into active coenzymes. For optimal bioavailability, it is recommended to take it with food.

The 237 ml (8 oz) format provides a supply for several weeks, facilitating its daily use both at home and away.

Who should take riboflavin?

Riboflavin can be beneficial for people with restrictive diets (vegans, vegetarians), athletes looking to support energy metabolism, or those who wish to maintain skin, hair, and nail health. It may also be of interest to those experiencing occasional fatigue or needing support for the nervous system. It is always advisable to consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplementation.

Possible Side Effects and Contraindications

Riboflavin is generally safe and well-tolerated. Being water-soluble, excess is eliminated through urine, which may acquire an intense yellow color (harmless effect). Very high doses can cause mild digestive discomfort. No significant contraindications have been established, but pregnant or breastfeeding individuals or those with medical conditions should consult their doctor. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
