B2
Vitamin B2 also known as Riboflavin helps turn fat, sugar and protein into energy. B2 helps repair and maintain healthy skin, internally and externally. It is essential for healthy hair, nails and eyes.
Am I deficient?
If you have been suffering from cataracts, sore or gritty eyes or have been sensitive to bright light it is worth considering your B2 levels.
Cracked lips or a sore tongue as well as dull hair and split nails and eczema can also be a sign that your B2 levels are low.
You can find B2 in foods such as:
Mushrooms,
Watercress,
Asparagus,
Cabbage,
Broccoli,
Pumpkin,
Beansprouts,
Mackerel,
Bamboo Shoots,
Wheat Germ,
Tomatoes,
Milk,
Supplements.
Riboflavin is best taken as part of a Vitamin B Complex with food.
Works well with other B Vitamins and Selenium.
