Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 4

Riboflavin (vitamin B2) is scientifically validated as essential for mitochondrial function. Riboflavin acts as a precursor for the cofactors flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), both of which are crucial for various oxidative enzymes within the mitochondrial electron transport chain. These enzymes are involved in redox reactions that generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary cellular energy currency. Deficiency in riboflavin impairs these pathways, leading to decreased mitochondrial energy production and increased oxidative stress. Clinical studies and biochemical research have demonstrated that riboflavin supplementation can be beneficial in certain mitochondrial disorders, such as multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MADD) and complex I deficiencies, where it can improve mitochondrial function and clinical outcomes. Additionally, riboflavin is used as a therapeutic adjunct in some cases of migraine, potentially due to its role in enhancing mitochondrial energy metabolism. Overall, the scientific evidence supporting riboflavin’s role in mitochondrial health is robust, particularly in contexts of deficiency and certain metabolic diseases, justifying its use for supporting the mitochondrial system.
