Other B Vitamins: Works in conjunction with other B vitamins (e.g., B1, B3, B6) to support metabolic processes and overall cellular health.
Iron: Riboflavin helps improve iron metabolism and absorption, reducing the risk of anemia.
Zinc: Zinc can influence the absorption and bioavailability of riboflavin, impacting its effectiveness in the body.
Magnesium: Supports enzyme functions that require riboflavin for metabolic processes.

Deficiency Issues: Can lead to symptoms such as cracked lips, sore throat, swelling of the mouth, and inflammation of the tongue (glossitis).
