Top Health Benefits of Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)

Cancer prevention

Due to the role riboflavin plays in preventing oxidative damage, it may also be connected to cancer prevention. Cancer is thought to be initiated by damage caused by oxygen forming free radicals. Sufficient intakes of riboflavin may help reduce free radicals and therefore cancer risk.

Migraine Headaches

There is some evidence that riboflavin may help treat or prevent migraine headaches. A high dose of the vitamin (under the care of a medical professional) has been shown to reduce the frequency of migraines.

Healthy Hair and Skin

Since riboflavin plays a role in maintaining collagen levels, it has an effect on healthy skin and hair. Collagen is needed to maintain structure and prevent wrinkles in the skin. A riboflavin deficiency can also result in slower wound healing.
