Low On Energy? Are You Getting All The Vitamin B2 You Need?
Vitamin B2, also called riboflavin, is a water-soluble vitamin present in most animal and plant tissues. It is one of the essential B vitamins, a family of compounds that help support adrenal function, calm and maintain a healthy nervous system, and facilitate key metabolic processes, including the conversion of food into energy. Riboflavin has many functions:
- It is necessary for energy production and normal cell function and growth.
- It is crucial in helping folate and vitamin B6 undergo the chemical changes that make them available for the body’s use.
- Emerging research shows that riboflavin can act as an antioxidant, potentially helping to prevent cancer and slow cholesterol buildup by controlling the proliferation of harmful molecules known as free radicals.
- Some studies have shown riboflavin to be effective in migraine prevention when taken daily.
Riboflavin is the vitamin that is generally the culprit in turning urine a more yellow or even yellow-green color. There is no cause for alarm if this occurs and generally is a good sign you are getting enough. Discuss with your doctor whether you should decrease dosing or not.
Dietary sources of riboflavin include dairy products (such as milk, cheese and yogurt), eggs, meats, liver, dark greens (such as asparagus, broccoli, spinach and turnip greens), fish, poultry, and buckwheat. Keep in mind that riboflavin is easily destroyed by exposure to light, so buy milk and yogurt in paper cartons or containers and refrain from leaving your multi or B complex on the counter for long periods of time.

7 Signs Of Depression To Be Aware Of
Depression is now considered common, affecting about 340 million people worldwide. Although treatable, about half of all cases of depression go undiagnosed and unaddressed. Situational sadness is a typical and normal reaction to events, such as a recent loss, and is simply part of the human experience. Rather than suppress situational sadness, it is best to work through these periods with help from psychotherapists or counselors.
A more serious medical diagnosis is clinical depression – it can be triggered by a loss or other sad event, but then grows out of proportion to the situation and persists longer than is appropriate, affecting emotional and oftentimes physical health as well. Clinical depression often requires other forms of treatment in addition to counseling and therapy. There is also plenty of data showing depression can be caused or worsened by common vitamin deficiencies like vitamin D, B12 or folate or low thyroid hormone states.
If you are regularly or chronically experiencing any of the following, which are common symptoms of depression, make an appointment to talk with a therapist or seek out an integrative medicine provider that will be able to take a longer intake and history, help determine root causes and help align therapies with your personal health goals:
- A sullen mood
- Feelings of hopelessness, guilt and anxiety
- Loss of interest in things that used to be pleasurable
- Change in appetite
- Change in sleeping patterns
- Inability to concentrate
- A lack of energy or feeling run-down.
There is also a growing concern for depression with our youth, partly due to the social isolation associated with heavy phone usage and now combined with major life changes as a result of our current pandemic. Be on the lookout for similar symptoms in those children or teens in your life as well, and make sure they remain engaged in social opportunities like sports, clubs or community groups based on your current situation locally.
