Vitamin B2 in the diet

Lack of vitamin B2 in the diet can result from poor diet, rich in sugar and white flour or too much junk food, poor intestinal absorption of nutrients and / or bad eating habits. Vitamin B2 deficiency in the body causes symptoms such as ulcers or sores in the mouth, lips and tongue, inflamed eyes, dry flaky skin, or severe abuse and loss of hair.

Foods rich in B2 are liver, whole grains (especially wheat germ) goat's milk, almonds, eggs, mushrooms, cucumber, yogurt (especially homemade), water melons, apples, pineapples, lettuce, peppers, avocados, cabbage, etc.

Here are some recipes with the right combination, rich in vitamin B2.

    These recipes all look fantastic, although I have to say, I don’t think it’s very likely that anyone suffers from a specific vitamin B2 deficiency, this is very rare and uncommon. These are probably very nutritious recipes in the first place, adn should be eaten just for the simple fact that they are wholesome.

      I have a vitamin b2 deficiency. I eat totally gluten free. I was surprised to find out that this happened to me. I am thankful that there are recipes to help.
