RIBOFLAVIN 5' PHOSPHATE SODIUM

Riboflavin 5' phosphate sodium is a yellow to orange, practically odourless powder used as a nutritional ingredient. It is commonly known as vitamin B2 phosphate sodium salt. Riboflavin 5' phosphate sodium finds wide application in pharmaceutical formulations where a rapidly soluble form of riboflavin is required. As riboflavin 5' phosphate sodium is about 3-4 times more soluble than riboflavin, it ensures uniform distribution of the vitamin in solutions and suspensions. This property makes Riboflavin 5' phosphate sodium very useful for developing clear drinkable pharmaceutical formulations. The increased water solubility also helps in designing riboflavin supplemented intravenous solutions and injections. Riboflavin 5' phosphate sodium maintains the biological activity of native riboflavin and supports important metabolic processes in the body.
