Included
About the Test
This test measures the level of vitamin B2, also called riboflavin, in your blood. Riboflavin helps the body release energy from food and supports healthy skin, eyes and red blood cells. True deficiency is uncommon in people with a balanced diet but can appear with poor intake, malabsorption or increased needs, and may show as cracks at the corners of the mouth, a sore tongue, or eye discomfort. Doctors use this test mainly to confirm suspected deficiency in people with relevant symptoms or risk factors.
What is it? Vitamin B2, also known as riboflavin or Vit B2, is a water-soluble vitamin that helps convert food into energy and supports skin, eyes and red blood cells.

Understanding your Vitamin B2 - Riboflavin results
A low riboflavin level supports deficiency, which usually responds to improved diet and supervised supplementation, while normal levels make it an unlikely cause of your symptoms. Since intake and other B vitamins influence the picture, discuss your result with a doctor before starting any supplement.
