Description

Flavin Mononucleotide (FMN), also known as Riboflavin-5'-Phosphate, is a crucial biochemical cofactor derived from vitamin B2. This compound is essential for the function of numerous flavoproteins involved in cellular energy production and metabolism. It is a vital raw material for the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and research industries, where it is used in enzyme formulations, diagnostic reagents, and dietary supplements.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: As an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) or excipient in vitamin B complex injections and oral formulations.
• Nutraceuticals & Dietary Supplements: Key component in high-quality vitamin supplements and functional foods for enhanced bioavailability.
• Biochemical Research & Diagnostics: Essential coenzyme for in-vitro enzymatic assays, cell culture media, and diagnostic test kits.
• Enzyme Production & Stabilization: Used in the production and activity maintenance of various flavin-dependent enzymes.
• Cosmeceuticals: Incorporated into advanced skincare products for its role in cellular energy and antioxidant support.
• Animal Nutrition: An important additive in premium feed for livestock and aquaculture to support growth and health.
