A Vitamin B2 test measures the level of riboflavin in your blood. Riboflavin is essential for energy production within cells and plays a key role in converting food into usable energy.
It also supports skin integrity, nerve function, eye health, and the metabolism of other B vitamins such as B6 and B12.
Riboflavin deficiency is often overlooked and can present with vague symptoms related to fatigue and skin problems.
Reasons for testing include:
• Persistent fatigue
• Cracked lips or mouth corners
• Sore tongue
• Skin rashes
• Light sensitivity or eye discomfort
• Poor diet or restrictive diet
• Digestive or absorption issues
Expanded benefit explanation
Vitamin B2 is central to energy metabolism and tissue health. Identifying deficiency allows correction of symptoms related to fatigue and skin integrity.

Where possible, attend your blood test between 7am and 12pm. Please wait until any short-term illness or infection has fully resolved before testing. Avoid intense exercise for 24–48 hours beforehand, as this can affect certain markers.
Fasting is not always required, but some tests may recommend it. If fasting is advised, avoid food for 8–12 hours before your appointment and drink water only. Stay well hydrated, as this helps with sample collection and accuracy.
Continue prescribed medications unless advised otherwise by your clinician. Avoid vitamin, mineral, or biotin supplements for at least 24–48 hours before your test, as these can interfere with results. If you are unsure about any medication or supplement, please let us know before your appointment.
For hormone-related tests, timing within your menstrual cycle may be important. If relevant, follow any specific guidance provided on your test page.
If you have any questions or special circumstances, our team is happy to advise before your appointment.
