What are the best natural sources of vitamin B2?

Vitamin B2 belongs to the group of flavins, yellow pigments that color food yellow to orange, depending on its concentration. All stressful situations require additional amounts of B-complex. Symptoms of the deficiency are fatigue and lethargy, sores in the mouth, on the lips, skin (nose, ears) and genitals, and nervous disorders. Severe diseases greatly increase the need for B2. B2 deficiency can impair the absorption of iron in the body, lead to disorders such as keratitis and seborrheic dermatitis, and impair thyroid function. The best natural source: acidophilus milk, yeast, cheese, fish, green leafy vegetables — especially broccoli and spinach, eggs.
