Riboflavina Pura en Polvo (Vitamina B2) - 50 g (1.76 oz)

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 belongs to the B complex and plays a key role in energy production at the cellular level. This product is presented as pure riboflavin powder, without additives or fillers, making it a versatile ingredient for use in formulations, research, and development.

Riboflavin participates in multiple metabolic processes, including the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. In addition, it acts as a cofactor in enzymatic reactions related to the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Being a yellow crystalline powder with a bitter taste, it must be stored in a cool, dry place, protected from light and heat, to preserve its stability. With a shelf life of 1.5 to 2.5 years, this product guarantees freshness and purity. It is important to note that this powder is intended for use as a raw material for the production of food supplements, food additives, or research purposes, and not for direct consumption by end consumers without further processing.

Applications in formulations

Riboflavin powder is widely used in the pharmaceutical, food supplement, and functional food industries. Manufacturers can incorporate it into their products to enrich them with vitamin B2. Due to its bitter taste, it is often combined with other ingredients to mask it in oral formulations. Dosing must be done precisely according to the needs of the final product, respecting the legal limits established by the competent authorities.

For research purposes, this powder can be used in metabolic studies or stability tests. It is important that end-users (manufacturers or researchers) have the necessary technical knowledge to handle the product safely.

Frequently asked questions

Can I consume this powder directly? No. This product is a raw ingredient for formulations. It should not be ingested without being processed and properly dosed by an authorized manufacturer.

Is it suitable for vegans? Yes, riboflavin is synthetic and does not contain animal products.

What is its purity? It is pure riboflavin, without additives. The purity meets food or pharmaceutical grade standards as appropriate.

What is the difference between riboflavin and riboflavin 5'-phosphate? Riboflavin 5'-phosphate (FMN) is the active form that the body uses directly, while common riboflavin requires conversion. The latter is more stable and economical, ideal for formulations where natural enzymatic conversion is sufficient.
