It plays a crucial role in converting carbohydrates into adenosine triphosphate (ATP)—the fuel your body uses for energy—and is vital for maintaining healthy skin, eyes, and nervous system function. Riboflavin also acts as an antioxidant, helping to combat damaging free radicals in the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \n        \u003cp\u003eThis test is particularly valuable if you experience persistent fatigue, cracked lips or mouth sores, a sore or swollen tongue, skin inflammation, sore throat, or eye problems such as sensitivity to light or itchy, watery eyes. Those at increased risk of deficiency include vegans, vegetarians, people with poor dietary habits, individuals with absorption issues such as coeliac disease or Crohn's disease, and those taking certain medications. Pregnant or breastfeeding women may also have increased riboflavin requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's covered in the price:\u003c\/strong\u003e You receive a venous blood collection kit and professional laboratory analysis.

It serves as a precursor for flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and flavin mononucleotide (FMN)—coenzymes involved in energy production, cellular function, and the metabolism of fats, drugs, and steroids. Riboflavin also functions as an antioxidant, helping to neutralise harmful free radicals. The body cannot store large amounts of riboflavin, so regular dietary intake is essential. Deficiency is rare but can cause symptoms including anaemia, fatigue, slowed metabolism, nerve damage, a swollen or sore tongue (glossitis), mouth sores and cracks at the corners of the mouth (angular cheilitis), skin inflammation, sore throat, swelling of mucous membranes, and mood changes. Good dietary sources include almonds, whole grains, mushrooms, dairy products, eggs, and green vegetables. Results outside the normal range may need a follow-up with your GP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \u003c\/div\u003e\n                            \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n                        \u003c\/div\u003e\n                    \u003c\/div\u003e\n                \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n            \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003c!-- Section 6: Medical Disclaimer --\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"disclaimer-section\"\u003e\n        \u003ch3\u003eMedical Disclaimer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eThis test is for screening and information only—it is not a medical diagnosis or professional advice.
