Description

Riboflavin-5'-Monobutyrate is a chemically modified, esterified derivative of vitamin B2 (riboflavin). This compound is valued for its enhanced stability and bioavailability compared to standard riboflavin, making it a critical ingredient in advanced nutritional and pharmaceutical formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and animal feed industries for fortification and therapeutic applications.

Application

• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Used as a premium, highly bioavailable source of vitamin B2 in multivitamin complexes, energy supplements, and specialized health products.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Employed in the production of injectable solutions, tablets, and capsules where enhanced solubility and metabolic uptake are required.
• Animal Nutrition (Feed Premixes): Incorporated into poultry, swine, and aquaculture feed to ensure optimal growth, health, and vitamin B2 status.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: Used for the enrichment of functional foods, dairy products, and health beverages.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Applied in skincare formulations for its potential antioxidant properties and role in cellular energy metabolism.
• Research & Development: Serves as a biochemical reagent and reference standard in metabolic and nutritional studies.
