Detailed explanation-2: -Riboflavin (also known as vitamin B2) is one of the B vitamins, which are all water soluble. Riboflavin is naturally present in some foods, added to some food products, and available as a dietary supplement.

Detailed explanation-3: -The water-soluble vitamins include Vitamin C and Vitamin B complex (thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, pyridoxine, biotin, folate, and cobalamin).

Detailed explanation-4: -All eight of the B vitamins and vitamin C are water-soluble. These four vitamins-A, D, E and K-are fat-soluble. The main differences between water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins are this: how they dissolve and are absorbed by your body and how they are stored.

Detailed explanation-5: -Thiamin (thiamine), or vitamin B1, is a water-soluble vitamin found naturally in some foods, added to foods, and sold as a supplement. Thiamin plays a vital role in the growth and function of various cells. [1] Only small amounts are stored in the liver, so a daily intake of thiamin-rich foods is needed.
