Abstract
KOSCHARA1 has demonstrated the presence of flavins in urine, and has been able to isolate a crystalline flavin (uroflavin). I have carried out an investigation to determine if large doses of flavins (ox liver), similar to vitamin C (Harris2 and van Eekelen3) and B1 (Harris4), caused an increased urinary output.
