Riboflavin

I was at training this morning and to my knowledge I discovered that they have been investigating individuals with a high content of riboflavin because supposedly it shows up as THC or something to that effect. I 2 drink Isopure zero carb protein shakes daily and now I am worried that I may pop on a urinalysis. I have never ever done drugs except partake in alcohol here and there and now I am suppose to be worried bout how much riboflavin I get because it may be too much and any elevated level of anything creates suspicion in the navy it seems. Does anyone have any iformation on this and in my 2 protein shakes am I taking in too much.....all I am trying to do is feed my body and get in shape here.........:angry:Geesh........any iformation is appreciated. -------------- you can lead the horse to the water but you can't make them drink..... ~lynnoakdale

Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) is converted by the body into two products needed by enzymes to break down carbs, proteins, and fats, and enable oxygen to be utilized by cells. I know that it's most plentiful in animal products, but there is also a decent amount in green leafy veggies. So, on that line of thinking, maybe MJ has some in it, and that is their logic. But that sounds like a real stretch. My advise to ask if that's the case, because there is alot of food products that may give a false positive. I wouldn't worry too much until I heard an answer. Good luck...... -------------- Michael Trample the weak; hurdle the dead! Chaos, Panic, Disorder.... Yes, my work here is done! rev8ball@freetrainers.com
