VITAMIN B2 (RIBOFLAVIN)

The Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) home collection test measures circulating riboflavin levels and commonly used functional markers to evaluate your body's vitamin B2 status. It is used to detect deficiency that can affect energy metabolism, red blood cell production, skin and mucous membrane health, and overall cellular function.

Available via accredited UAE laboratories with convenient home sample collection, this test helps clinicians and nutritionists personalise dietary plans and supplement recommendations. It is particularly useful for individuals with symptoms of deficiency, restrictive diets (including strict veganism), chronic gastrointestinal issues, or those monitoring the effect of supplementation on energy and metabolic health.
