Vitamin B2

Why Does Vitamin B2 Deficiency Occur?

Vitamin B2 deficiency often results from low intake due to poor nutrition, restrictive diets, or absorption issues. Limited consumption of dairy, eggs, meat, and leafy greens increases risk. People with chronic illnesses, excessive alcohol use, or those taking certain medications (like antidepressants and birth control pills) are also more susceptible. Pregnant and breastfeeding women, athletes, and those recovering from illness may have higher riboflavin needs.

What to Do About Vitamin B2 Deficiency?

Increasing Vitamin B2 intake involves consuming more riboflavin-rich foods like eggs, dairy products, lean meats, and green leafy vegetables. Fortified cereals and nutritional supplements can also help meet daily requirements. Conditions affecting absorption should also be addressed.
