Description

Riboflavin 5'-Pyrophosphate is the biologically active coenzyme form of vitamin B2, also known as flavin mononucleotide (FMN). This high-purity cofactor is essential for a wide range of enzymatic reactions in cellular metabolism, particularly those involving oxidation-reduction processes. It is a critical raw material for the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and research industries, where its role in energy production and cellular function is leveraged.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in injectable and oral preparations to treat vitamin B2 deficiency and support metabolic function.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Incorporated into high-end supplement blends for its superior bioavailability compared to standard riboflavin.
• Biochemical Research & Diagnostics: Serves as a vital cofactor in enzyme assays, cell culture media, and diagnostic reagent kits.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: Employed as a nutritional fortificant in specialized food products and clinical nutrition formulas.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Used in advanced skincare formulations for its role in cellular energy and antioxidant protection.
• Enzyme Production & Biocatalysis: Essential component in the production and activity of flavoprotein enzymes for industrial biocatalytic processes.

Quality Control

Our Riboflavin 5'-Pyrophosphate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. It can be supplied to meet various pharmacopoeial standards, including USP and EP, depending on the required grade. All batches undergo rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting full specifications are provided with each shipment to ensure traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed and away from direct light exposure to maintain stability and potency.
