Only the Best Ingredients Riboflavin (Vitamin B 2) Part 23
Our Premium Detox 7 Day Comprehensive Cleansing Program contains a lot of ingredients that help detoxify your body, but one of the most important ingredients is Riboflavin or Vitamin B2. Vitamin B2 helps promote healthy skin, hair, nails, and eyesight while regulating red blood cell growth and helping to build a strong immune system. That is a lot of benefit from just one ingredient. Vitamin B2 enables the other B Vitamins to carry out their mission and without it a host of chemical reactions that keep you alive would fail to take place. Hence, you would cease to be. Pretty important Vitamin, wouldn’t you say? Riboflavin, or Vitamin B2, produces two enzymes that help the body convert fats, carbohydrates and proteins into energy. These two enzymes (flavin mononucleotide and flavin adenine dinucleotide) work in conjunction with one another to supply the body with the fuel that keeps us alive. Riboflavin also is a critical component in maintaining and improving memory and critical thinking. One of the best sources of Riboflavin can be found in a glass of milk. Consuming one quart of milk per day will give you the daily recommended requirement of Vitamin B2. Your supply of Vitamin B2 is depleted every day through exercise, sweating and urination so do what your mother told you to and drink your milk, or if you can’t then take supplemental doses of Vitamin B2. People who drink excessively or those who take oral contraceptives should take a Vitamin B2 supplement because these two activities deplete the supply of Riboflavin in the body. People who are lactose intolerant or diabetic and elderly people who exercise a lot may want to consider taking vitamin B2 supplement because their bodies may not absorb enough riboflavin on a daily basis.
