Vitamin B2 benefit

Vitamin B2 source

Deficiency - vitamin B2; Vitamin B2 deficiency; Diet - riboflavin; Vitamin B2

Lean meats, eggs, legumes, nuts, green leafy vegetables, dairy products, and milk provide riboflavin in the diet. Breads and cereals are often fortified with riboflavin.

Because riboflavin is destroyed by exposure to light, foods with riboflavin should not be stored in glass containers that are exposed to light.
