Tag: Flavin adenine dinucleotide

Over 90% of the riboflavin in our food is present as the coenzymes flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and flavin mononucleotide (FMN), making riboflavin (vitamin B2) the indispensable precursor for the energy carrier FADH2. This water-soluble vitamin plays a central role in energy production, enabling our bodies to convert nutrients into usable energy.

Over 95% of the riboflavin (vitamin B2) in our bodies is in the form of its coenzymes, flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and flavin mononucleotide (FMN). This essential nutrient, often referred to as riboflavin, does not function directly but is the building block for these powerful coenzymes that are indispensable for human health.
