my original suggestion was standard riboflavin... i was unable to find any data on the pharmacodynamics of supplemental riboflavin-5′-phosphate

I've seen anecdotal reports that people could feel the difference scattered throughout the net, and apparantly it's also a good migrane stopper. Another name for it could be Flavin mononucleotide.

I see some mention of it in here under that name: http://findarticles....3/ai_n31344621/ The beta carotene segment had solid info, so I suspect you'll find something in here, too, though I don't have the time atm to sort through it myself.

after a bit of research i think it may be best to use 1mg standard riboflavin & 1 mg riboflavin-5-phosphate... riboflavin occurs in food in both forms and it appears there are transport mechanisms for both forms as well.

digestion, absorption, transport & storage of riboflavin

Absorption, metabolism, and excretion of riboflavin-5-phosphate in man

Abstract
Evidence is presented which indicates that riboflavin-5-phosphate (FMN) is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract of man by specialized transport rather than by passive diffusion. Oral administration of the vitamin after a meal results in more extensive absorption which appears to be primarily due to a decrease in intestinal transit rate resulting in longer retention of FMN at absorption sites in the small intestine. Both FMN and riboflavin are excreted in the urine primarily, if not solely, as free riboflavin. The urinary recovery of riboflavin is the same when equimolar amounts of either form of the vitamin are administered orally in solution. The time course of urinary excretion of riboflavin after administration of high doses of FMN, together with data available in the literature, suggest that the vitamin is subject to enterohepatic cycling.

Sounds good.

Oh, that reminds me, try to get them to list how much of each ingredient they've included on the label so it doesn't look like a fairy dust job.
