that is the principal growth-promoting factor in naturally occurring vitamin B complexes.
Riboflavin phosphate sodium is converted to 2 coenzymes, flavin mononucleotide (FMN)
and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), which are necessary for energy production by
aiding in the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates and proteins and are required for
red blood cell formation and respiration, antibody production and for regulating human
growth and reproduction. Riboflavin phosphate sodium is essential for healthy skin,
