Best Answer

Riboflavin, also known as vitamin B2, is a water-soluble vitamin present in most animal and plant tissues. It gets its name from its color: "flavus" is a Latin word meaning "yellow." If you take a supplement high in riboflavin, your urine becomes bright yellow.

Riboflavin is one of the essential B vitamins, a family of compounds that help support adrenal function, calm and maintain a healthy nervous system, and facilitate key metabolic processes, including the conversion of food into energy.
