<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Addressing B2 Defiency Can Help Skin
According to the George Mateljan Foundation for the World's Healthiest Foods, the daily recommended value for B2 (also known as riboflavin) is around 1 mg. If you are deficient in riboflavin, you may experience pain and redness, particularly on the tongue and around the mouth, sensitivity to light, as well as greasy, scaly skin. Riboflavin is stored in the liver and excreted through urine. If you are deficient in B2, you should begin to see relief of these symptoms after taking a supplement and eating B2-rich foods such as yogurt, cottage cheese and calf liver.
On the Other: Without B2 Deficiency Impact on Skin is Minimal
According to mayoclinic.com, if you have a vitamin deficiency in vitamin B2, you will likely see symptoms such as chapped, sore lips, dry skin or flaky skin decrease within the first days and weeks of addressing the B2 deficiency. However, if you are not deficient in vitamin B2, you will likely not any change at all in skin health.
Bottom Line
Unless you have a deficiency in B2, you will probably not see a big change in skin quickly after taking a supplement.
