Riboflavin status in pregnancy

Sigfried Heller 1, Richard M. Salkeld 1, and Wilhelm F. Körner 1

The riboflavin status in 651 pregnant women was determined by means of the erythrocyte glutathione reductase activation test. Although there was no significant correlation between the riboflavin status and the course or outcome of pregnancy, 25% of the pregnant women in the first trimester-increasing to 40% at term-were shown to be significantly riboflavin-depleted in comparison to a group of over 300 male and female blood donors. Riboflavin supplementation is therefore recommended to maintain normal coenzyme saturation of riboflavin enzymes.
