Possible Interaction: Riboflavin and Calcium Supplement

“With respect to micronutrients, the ingestion of vitamin B2 significantly increased, as well as folic acid and calcium (p < 0.001) in ANP, and magnesium and calcium (p < 0.001) in ANR.”

“During intervention, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, thiamin, riboflavin , and vitamins C and D increased (P < 0.01) in the group receiving food calcium but not in the placebo or supplement groups.”

“Strong intercorrelation between riboflavin and calcium was also found, due to the high quantity of milk consumed by the girls, since this food provided the main source of riboflavin and calcium.”

“Of the 19 micronutrients investigated, the mean daily intake of eight calcium , iron, zinc, vitamin A, riboflavin , nicotinic acid, pantothenic acid and biotin) fell below the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) at both interceptions.”

“The leading role in the maintenance of calcium and phosphorus homeostasis has been found to belong to vitamin D. It has been shown, however, that retinol, thiamine, riboflavine and pyridoxine as well as polyvitamin deficiencies are capable of producing an adverse effect on the calcium and phosphorus balance.”

“There was a significant correlation between changes in calcium and changes in vitamin D, selenium, and riboflavin content (P=0.0001) throughout all of the diets.”
