Riboflavin (Standard)

Riboflavin (Standard) is the analytical standard of Riboflavin. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Riboflavin, an orally active and easily absorbed micronutrient, is a precursor of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), which serve as coenzymes for numerous enzymatic reactions and perform key metabolic functions by mediating the transfer of electrons in biological oxidation-reduction reaction[1].
