Riboflavin
Deficient Symptoms
True riboflavin deficiency is quite rare.
When deficiency symptoms do occur, they're usually related
to a shortage of all the B's. Usually, though, riboflavin
deficiency shows up as problems with the mucous membranes,
skin, eyes, and blood. An early and clear sign is sores
and cracks on the corner of the mouth. Scaly skin, reddened
eyes, and anemia are other deficiency signs.
When you have any of the following symptoms, please consider
take some extra Vitamin B2 supplement pills to enrich your
riboflavin level:
1). Sore lips
2). Inflammation of tongue and lips
3). Eyes overly sensitive to light and easily tired
4). Itching and scaling of skin around nose, mouth, scrotum,
forehead, ears, scalp
5). Trembling
6). Insomnia
