Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), Plasma

Symptoms such as a sore throat, redness and swelling of the lining of the mouth and throat, and cracks or sores on the lips (cheilosis) may signal a deficiency in Vitamin B2, also known as riboflavin. Riboflavin is an essential nutrient that plays a key role in energy production, growth, and the breakdown of fats, drugs, and steroids. Deficiency, though rare, can impair normal metabolic functions and overall health.

The Vitamin B2 Test measures riboflavin levels in the blood, aiding in the detection of deficiencies that may result from poor diet, alcohol use, or certain medical conditions. Identifying low riboflavin levels allows healthcare providers to recommend dietary adjustments or supplementation, helping restore balance, support energy metabolism, and promote overall well-being.
