    Riboflavin has neuroprotective potential: focus on Parkinson disease and migraine

    Marashly ET, Bohlega SA

    Published in Frontiers in Neurology

    Methodology

    Mechanistic review of riboflavin status, mitochondrial energy metabolism and clinical neurological outcomes.

    Key Findings

    Riboflavin deficiency impairs mitochondrial electron transport, providing a plausible basis for benefit in migraine where mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated.

    Conclusions

    Riboflavin repletion is a biologically plausible and low-risk adjunct in selected neurological conditions.

    Limitations

    Mechanistic review; clinical inference is indirect.
