The role and function of vitamin b2

Vitamin B2 is very important for the human body. If the human body lacks vitamin B2, symptoms such as cracks at the corners of the mouth and bleeding when opening the mouth will appear. Vitamin B2 has many roles and functions. Especially for children in the growing period, it is very easy to lack vitamin B2. Therefore, in daily life, everyone must pay attention to the supplementation of vitamin B2 and eat more animal offal, beans, fungi and other foods.

Vitamin B2 is stored in the human body for a relatively short time, so in daily life, we can increase our intake of vitamin B2 through our diet. The effects and functions of vitamin B2 are reflected in many aspects. If the diet cannot meet the intake of vitamin B2, you can take some vitamin B2 health products.

Vitamin B2 deficiency is quite common in the general population, and is particularly serious in children and during pregnancy. Vitamin B2 plays a very important role in the human body.

1. The role of vitamin B2 in children

Children grow and develop rapidly and have high metabolism. If not paid attention, they are more likely to lack vitamin B2. Vitamin B2 can promote the normal production of skin and hair, and also promotes development. Lack of vitamin B2 will affect the absorption, storage and circulation of iron in the body, causing iron deficiency anemia and affecting the baby's growth and development.

2. The role of vitamin B2 in pregnant women

Since vitamin B2 can promote development and cell regeneration, it promotes fetal development. Women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking birth control pills need more vitamin B2. During pregnancy, 1.6 mg is needed. During breastfeeding, 1.8 mg is needed for the first 6 months and 1.7 mg for the next 6 months.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has understood the role and function of vitamin B2. In daily diet, everyone must pay attention to the intake of vitamin B2.
