Analysis
Source Naturals Coenzymated B-2 provides 18 mg of riboflavin in what is implied to be a coenzymated form (though not explicitly stated as R-5-P, the "Coenzymated" title suggests it). This lower dose is meant to support general metabolic functions and energy production with a potentially more readily available form of the nutrient. It comes in a tablet form.
Pros
- Features a 'coenzymated' form, suggesting enhanced bioavailability.
- From the well-established Source Naturals brand.
- Tablet form can be preferred by some users.
Cons
- Very low dose (18 mg) compared to most B2 supplements, even other coenzymated forms.
- The specific form of coenzymated B2 is not explicitly detailed (e.g., R-5-P).
- Higher price per serving for such a low dose.
Warnings
- The 18 mg dose is significantly lower than most standalone riboflavin supplements and may not be sufficient for individuals with higher B2 needs.
- Riboflavin can cause urine to turn bright yellow, which is a normal effect.

Goals
Impact
High effect
While coenzymated, the 18 mg dose is relatively low for targeted vision support. It provides only a minor contribution to ocular health.
Impact
High effect
The active form aids metabolism, but the lower dose provides more modest support compared to higher-potency options. Its metabolic impact is gentle.
Impact
High effect
This coenzymated form helps energy production, though the 18 mg dose offers a more subtle contribution. It's not designed for a significant energy boost.
Impact
Moderate effect
The active B2 supports enzyme systems, but the dose limits its potential impact on detoxification processes. Its role here is supportive but not robust.
Impact
Moderate effect
This dose of active riboflavin provides some support for cellular health relevant to skin, but higher doses are usually considered more impactful. Its benefits for skin are subtle.
