Riboflavin is a water-soluble vitamin that can be found in many foods, including eggs, organ meats, lean meats, milk, breakfast cereals, quinoa, and rotisserie chicken. It is also available in dietary supplements.
A doctor may recommend riboflavin supplements if a patient is taking drugs that can interfere with riboflavin absorption. Some of these drugs include tricyclic antidepressants, antipsychotic drugs, methotrexate, phenytoin, probenecid, and thiazide diuretics.
Vitamin B2, also called riboflavin, is one of 8 B vitamins. All B vitamins help the body to convert food (carbohydrates) into fuel (glucose), which is used to produce energy. These B vitamins, often referred to as B-complex vitamins, also help the body metabolize fats and protein.
Both vitamin B1 and B2 are essential for our bodies in order to convert food into energy—and for the production of the sleep hormone, melatonin. Commonly, lacking in both are not tested as current medical advice suggests they can be sourced from diet alone.
Riboflavin works to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation of nerves, which are contributors to migraine headaches. The vitamin is also needed for normal mitochondrial activities; migraines are sometimes caused by mitochondrial abnormalities in the brain.
