Riboflavin 5'-Phosphate
This bioactive form of riboflavin bypasses conversion issues, delivering B2 directly where your body needs it for energy metabolism, red blood cell production, and hormonal balance. If digestive stress or medications compromise your nutrient absorption, R5P ensures you're getting the activated support your system requires to perform at its best.
Thorne Riboflavin 5'-Phosphate provides vitamin B2 in its active, bioavailable form—riboflavin 5'-phosphate (R5P)—so the body can utilize it directly without conversion. Formulated without yeast, it supports fat and glucose metabolism, red blood cell synthesis, and the activation of other B vitamins as part of a consistent wellness routine.
Riboflavin, also known as vitamin B2, is necessary for the body to be able to activate vitamin B6.* Riboflavin is also necessary for the body's conversion of tryptophan to niacin, and the conversion of folate to folate's various active forms.* In addition, riboflavin plays a crucial role in the metabolism of fats and glucose, the synthesis of red blood cells, healthy methylation, and the production and regulation of certain hormones.*To be utilized by the body, however, riboflavin must first be converted to its active form – riboflavin 5'-phospate (R5P). A compromised digestive system, however, can adversely affect the body's ability to convert riboflavin to R5P.* And certain prescription medications can also compromise the absorption of riboflavin, putting it in a state of deficiency. Thorne's Riboflavin 5'-Phosphate, which is not derived from yeast, provides supplementation with a bioactive, tissue ready form of riboflavin that can be optimally utilized in the body.*
