Vitamin J is essentially the same as Vitamin G, which was later reclassified and is now known as Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin).
Here's a breakdown:
- The History: Early research identified factors crucial for health, naming them alphabetically (A, B, C, etc.).
- Vitamin G: Initially considered a separate vitamin, Vitamin G was later discovered to be identical to Vitamin B2.
- Vitamin J: Similarly, Vitamin J has been found to be closely related or even synonymous with Vitamin G. Therefore, it shares the same fate and is now recognized as Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin).
- Current Usage: The terms Vitamin G and Vitamin J are now outdated and not in common scientific or nutritional use. The correct term is Vitamin B2 or Riboflavin.
In summary, while Vitamin J was an earlier designation, the scientifically accepted term for this essential nutrient is now Vitamin B2, also known as Riboflavin.
