Windmill Vitamina B2 (Riboflavina) 50 mg – 100 Comprimidos

What is riboflavin (vitamin B2)?

Vitamin B2, also known as riboflavin, is a water-soluble vitamin essential for the human body. It is part of the B vitamin complex and plays a key role in energy production at the cellular level. Riboflavin acts as a precursor to coenzymes such as FMN (flavin mononucleotide) and FAD (flavin adenine dinucleotide), which are involved in oxidation-reduction reactions fundamental for the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Being water-soluble, excess is eliminated in the urine, making a daily intake necessary through diet or supplementation.

This Windmill product provides 50 mg of riboflavin per tablet, a dose significantly higher than the recommended daily intake (RDI), which is around 1.1-1.4 mg for adults. This amount is used to cover specific needs or to take advantage of the vitamin's metabolic effects in higher doses.

Main benefits of vitamin B2

Vitamin B2 contributes to normal energy metabolism, helping to convert food into usable energy for cells. It also contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and the maintenance of mucous membranes, skin, and vision under normal conditions. In addition, it helps protect cells against oxidative damage, as FAD is a cofactor of glutathione reductase, an antioxidant enzyme.

It is important to note that these benefits are recognized by the European health authority and are based on the physiological role of riboflavin. These are not curative claims, but documented biological functions.

Who is it recommended for?

This supplement is aimed at people who want to ensure an adequate intake of vitamin B2, especially in cases of restrictive diets, vegetarianism, veganism, pregnancy, lactation, or situations of increased energy demand. It can also be useful for those experiencing fatigue or stress, always under professional supervision. However, supplementation should not replace a balanced diet.

Recommended dose and how to take it

The indicated dose is one tablet a day, preferably with a meal to aid absorption. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. The tablets are small and easy to swallow. The package contains 100 tablets, enough for more than three months of use.

Possible side effects and contraindications

In general, vitamin B2 is safe even at high doses, as excess is eliminated in the urine, which may acquire an intense yellow color (flavinuria), a harmless and expected effect. No serious adverse effects have been reported with doses of up to 100 mg per day. However, if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication, consult a healthcare professional before starting supplementation. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet.
