A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vit B2 effects: Vitamin b2, also called riboflavin, is one of 8 b vitamins. All b vitamins help the body to convert food (carbohydrates) into fuel (glucose), which is "burned" to produce energy. In addition to producing energy for the body, riboflavin also works as an antioxidant by fighting damaging particles in the body known as free radicals. It does not, per se, may you gain weight or alter metabolism.
