Brand: Swanson
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
Swanson R-5-P delivers Riboflavin-5-Phosphate, the active coenzyme form of Vitamin B2. Unlike standard riboflavin, this form bypasses the liver's conversion process, ensuring immediate bioavailability. At the cellular level, Riboflavin-5-Phosphate acts as a vital cofactor for FAD and FMN enzymes. These enzymes drive mitochondrial energy production, antioxidant defense via glutathione reductase, and the metabolism of fats, drugs, and steroids. This direct delivery supports efficient cellular function.
Key Benefits
Key benefits include:
- Supports optimal energy production and vitality
- Promotes healthy skin, hair, and nails
- Enhances metabolic function and cellular health
- Acts as a potent antioxidant cofactor
Usage & Safety
The recommended dosage is 1 capsule daily, taken with food to enhance absorption. As a coenzymated form, Riboflavin-5-Phosphate is generally well-tolerated. However, consult your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medications (such as antipsychotics or tetracyclines), or have a medical condition. Keep out of reach of children.
