NuSci Vitamina B2 Riboflavina en Polvo Puro (1000 g)

What is Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)?

Riboflavin, also known as vitamin B2, is a water-soluble vitamin essential for numerous metabolic functions. It acts as a precursor to the coenzymes flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), which are involved in oxidation-reduction reactions crucial for cellular energy production. This pure NuSci powder contains high-purity crystalline riboflavin, free from additives or fillers, ideal for use in formulations, research and development, and as a food additive. Its characteristic yellow color and bitter taste are inherent properties of the vitamin. Stored correctly, it maintains its stability for 1 to 2.5 years.

Main applications in formulation and R&D

This riboflavin powder is designed for professionals who require a high-quality ingredient for the creation of supplements, fortified foods, cosmetic products, or pharmaceuticals. In the food industry, it is used to fortify cereals, dairy products, and beverages, ensuring the supply of vitamin B2 according to regulations. In R&D laboratories, it is a standard for testing and process validation. Its powder format allows for precise dosing and easy incorporation into dry or liquid mixtures. It is important to note that this product is a raw material and should not be consumed directly without proper formulation.

Product characteristics and purity

NuSci riboflavin powder is presented as a yellow crystalline powder, slightly soluble in water and with a bitter taste. It contains no additives or fillers, guaranteeing optimal purity for professional applications. Each batch is produced under strict quality controls to ensure the consistency and stability of the ingredient. The 1000 gram (2.2 lb) package is ideal for continuous use in production. It is recommended to store in a cool, dry place, protected from intense light and heat, to preserve its shelf life of 1 to 2.5 years from the date of manufacture.

How is riboflavin powder used in formulations?

The dosage of riboflavin depends on the final product and applicable regulations. In supplements, typical doses range from 1.4 to 100 mg per serving, but as it is a raw material, it is the manufacturer's responsibility to determine the appropriate amount according to current legislation. To incorporate it, it can be dissolved in water (although it is slightly soluble) or mixed dry with other ingredients. It is recommended to use personal protective equipment during handling, as the powder can be irritating. Always consult safety data sheets (SDS) for safe handling.

Safety considerations and regulatory compliance

This product is a raw material intended for professional use in formulation, R&D, and manufacturing. It is not intended for direct consumption.
