100mg of b2 = how much riboflavin 5 phosphate?
About 121 mg of riboflavin‑5′‑phosphate (free acid) or ~127 mg of the sodium salt provides 100 mg of riboflavin activity; conversely, 100 mg of the sodium salt contains ~79 mg of riboflavin.
How does the body make riboflavin 5 phosphate?
Cells use riboflavin kinase (flavokinase) to phosphorylate dietary riboflavin with ATP to form riboflavin‑5′‑phosphate (FMN), which can then be converted to FAD by FAD synthetase.
Riboflavin 5 phosphate 50mg/ml how to use?
A 50 mg/mL riboflavin‑5′‑phosphate solution is typically a medicinal preparation (often for injection) and should be used only as directed on the product label or by a healthcare professional. For food coloring (E101ii), it is added by manufacturers according to good manufacturing practice and applicable regulatory limits, not for direct consumer dosing.
