Vitamin B2, also called riboflavin, is one of eight B vitamins. B vitamins help the body to convert carbohydrates into fuel, or glucose, to produce energy. B vitamins also help the body metabolize fats and protein, and are necessary for healthy skin, hair, eyes, liver, and proper functioning of the nervous system.

it is one of the B vitamins (vitamin B2). The B vitamins and Vitamin C are the vitamins that dissolve in water. A healthy person's gut can easily take riboflavin from food and pass it on to the blood for the body to use. The body needs the B vitamins to get energy from food. Without riboflavin and the other B vitamins people's bodies cannot use fats, carbohydrates, and proteins.
