Vitamin B2, also known as riboflavin, is a type of B vitamin that is slightly soluble in water and stable when heated in neutral or acidic solutions. As a component of the yellow enzyme cofactor in the body, if lacking, it can affect the biological oxidation of the body and cause metabolic disorders. Lesions often manifest as inflammation of the mouth, eyes, and external genitalia, such as angular stomatitis, cheilitis, glossitis, conjunctivitis, and scrotal inflammation. Therefore, this product is commonly used for the prevention and treatment of these diseases. The storage of vitamin B2 in the body is very limited and needs to be supplemented daily through diet. The two properties of vitamin B2 are the main reasons for its loss: (1) it can be destroyed by light; (2) Heating in alkaline solution can be destroyed.
1. Promote development and cell regeneration;
2. Promote the normal growth of skin, nails, and hair;
3. Help prevent and eliminate inflammatory reactions in the mouth, lips, tongue, and skin, collectively known as oral reproductive syndrome;
4. Improve vision and reduce eye fatigue;
5. Affects the absorption of iron by the human body;
6. Combined with other substances, it affects biological oxidation and energy metabolism.
The main physiological function of vitamin B2 is to act as a coenzyme to promote metabolism. Riboflavin binds with phosphate and one molecule of protein to form flavin enzyme. This type of enzyme, also known as dehydrogenase, is important for mediating the transfer of hydrogen atoms, which is crucial for the metabolism of sugars, lipids, and amino acids. It is an essential factor for the growth of many animals and microorganisms.
Vitamin B2 binds to specific proteins to produce yellow enzymes. Huangenzyme plays a role in transferring hydrogen in material metabolism and participates in the respiratory process of tissues.
