Riboflavin (Vitamin B2): Energy Producer and Oxidative Stress Quencher
Dr. Angela Agrios, ND, a California Licensed Naturopathic Doctor, has been my doctor here in the Los Angeles area for over nine years! I met her when I was interviewing NDs nine years ago for my naturopathic doctor interview YouTube series. She has helped keep me healthy all these years and has helped to correct several issues I've had to deal with.
If you are experiencing health concerns and want a stellar doctor to work with, Dr. Agrios accepts both phone appointments and in-person appointment and you can learn more at her website.
She recently told me about the importance of Vitamin B2 and that she made a video about it on her YouTube channel, Pretty Well.
