Such is the case with riboflavin (B2). They have just found a new human transporter of riboflavin. This transporter is located in the brain and saliva glands. They believe that this transporter may control the levels of riboflavin in the brain.
Even though we know so much, we really know very little about how the body really operates, hence I try and have an open mind about nutritional topics.
