Industrial Uses

1. Pharmaceuticals

  • Vitamin B2 Supplementation: Used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in tablets, capsules, and injectables for vitamin B2 deficiency treatment. Offers improved solubility and absorption compared to plain riboflavin. Suitable for therapeutic use in chronic deficiency states or in parenteral formulations.
  • Coenzyme Therapy: Serves as a precursor to flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and flavin mononucleotide (FMN), critical for enzymatic redox reactions. Utilized in metabolic disorders involving impaired flavoprotein function. Supports cellular energy production and oxidative balance.
  • Neurological Health Applications: Used in formulations for managing migraines, peripheral neuropathy, and neurological inflammation. Helps regulate oxidative stress in nerve cells through coenzyme support. Often combined with magnesium or coenzyme Q10 in neuro-health blends.
  • Ophthalmic Products: Investigated for use in eye drops and ophthalmic formulations to support corneal health. Plays a role in collagen crosslinking therapy for keratoconus and other corneal disorders. Helps maintain ocular energy metabolism and tissue repair.

2. Food & Healthcare Ingredients 

  • Multivitamin Formulations: Included in B-complex multivitamin blends for enhanced bioavailability and fast absorption. Common in effervescent tablets, powders, syrups, and fortified drinks. Preferred form for use in pediatric and geriatric health products.
  • Sports and Functional Nutrition: Supports energy metabolism during high physical activity or stress conditions. Added to endurance and recovery supplements for athletes and active individuals. Plays a role in reducing fatigue and improving mitochondrial function.
  • Prenatal and Maternal Health Supplements: Incorporated into prenatal vitamins to support fetal development and maternal energy needs. Contributes to red blood cell formation and neurological development in pregnancy. Recommended due to high absorption in expectant mothers with gastrointestinal sensitivity.

3. Animal Healthcare

  • Animal Nutrition Supplements: Used in veterinary injectable and oral formulations to address B2 deficiency in livestock and poultry. Supports growth, feed efficiency, and reproductive performance in animals. Added in fortified feeds or water-soluble vitamin concentrates for commercial animal farming.
  • Companion Animal Products: Included in vitamin complexes for dogs, cats, and exotic animals to support skin, coat, and energy metabolism. Provides coenzyme support in formulations for aging or recovering pets. Helps improve overall vitality and nutrient absorption in animals with dietary sensitivities.
