Vitamin B2 deficiency alone is not usually present. Typically, this deficiency occurs with a deficiency of other nutrients. The amount of vitamin B2 in food is usually small, so in order to get the required amount from food, it is necessary to eat a well-varied diet and prefer unrefined foods.

The best sources of vitamin B2 are liver, yeast, almonds, egg, kale, cheese, spinach, bread, broccoli, dried apricots-plums, herring, avocado, pork, legumes, turkey, nuts, seeds.
