Abstract: “Riboflavin, also known as vitamin B-2, is a poorly water-soluble vitamin present in dairy products, meat, fish, and certain fruits and vegetables, particularly dark-green vegetables. Riboflavin is of biochemical significance, and signs of depletion arise within only a few days of dietary deprivation. (Destino, J.) The necessity for many B-vitamins are crucial for athletes and active individuals to help reduce stress on metabolic pathways. It is noticed that numerous energy drinks, for example, Monster® and Rockstar®, contain B-vitamins, including riboflavin. The energy drinks contain the recommended daily amount (1.3 mg) or more per serving. The determination of Monster® and Rockstar® energy drink riboflavin concentration was found by using a standardized curve made from a 20 fold dilution of the 1 mM riboflavin stock solution.”
