Description

Riboflavin Butyrate is a lipid-soluble ester derivative of vitamin B2 (riboflavin), offering enhanced bioavailability and stability compared to its water-soluble counterpart. This compound is crucial for formulating advanced nutritional supplements and fortified products where improved absorption and fat-phase compatibility are required. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the global nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and functional food industries seeking to innovate their product lines.

Application

• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: As a key ingredient in high-potency vitamin B-complex formulations, softgel capsules, and lipid-based delivery systems for superior absorption.
• Pharmaceutical Preparations: Used in specialized parenteral nutrition solutions and injectable vitamin complexes where enhanced solubility profiles are beneficial.
• Functional Food & Beverage Fortification: For fortifying fat-based food matrices such as dairy products, spreads, and nutritional beverages, where standard riboflavin is less stable or soluble.
• Animal Nutrition (Feed Premixes): Incorporated into vitamin premixes for poultry, swine, and aquaculture to support metabolic functions and growth performance.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Employed in skincare formulations for its potential antioxidant properties and role in cellular energy metabolism.
• Research & Development: Serves as a reference standard and biochemical reagent in life science research for studying vitamin metabolism and transport.
