0

Vitamin B2 or riboflavin is necessary for the formation of antibodies, red blood cells, regulation of growth and reproductive functions in the body. In addition, it is responsible for the health of the skin, nails and thyroid function. Deficiency of this vitamin can lead to deterioration of health, so it is important to identify and fill its deficiency in time.

The main symptoms of vitamin B2 deficiency:

• cracks on the lips and in the corners of the mouth ;
• burning in the eyes;
• pallor;
• lethargy.

Lack of vitamin B2 threatens not only deterioration of health I, but also the quality of life in general. So, for example, riboflavin plays a crucial role in energy production. Studies have shown that B2 deficiency significantly reduces the expression of enzymes involved in the breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins and fats into energy. As a result, it is difficult for the body to convert the consumed food into energy, due to which a person can feel tired and weak, and this, in turn, can affect the quality of life in general.
