Vitamin B2 Deficiency and Angular Cheilitis

According to nutritional analysis and biochemical principles:

Direct Link: Yes, a deficiency in Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) is a primary and well-established nutritional cause of angular cheilitis, which presents as painful sores, cracks, or inflammation at the corners of the mouth.
Related B-Complex Factors: Angular cheilitis can also be associated with deficiencies in other B-complex vitamins, particularly Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine), niacin (B3), folate, and overall iron status.
Biochemical Role: Riboflavin is critical for cellular respiration, mucosal tissue integrity, and overall skin and membrane health. When levels are depleted, rapidly dividing tissues—such as the mucocutaneous junctions of the lips—are among the first to show signs of breakdown.
Nutritional Evaluation: Rather than supplementing isolated nutrients blindly, it is essential to evaluate overall dietary intake, digestion, and potential imbalances among interacting micronutrients to correct the root cause of deficiency symptoms.
