In recent years, riboflavin has garnered extensive attention in the field of research on maintaining sperm quality and fertility. However, a comprehensive understanding and prediction of future development trends in this area are still relatively lacking. This study employs bibliometric methods to provide a macroscopic review of the relevant research, aiming to reveal the current state, hotspots and evolutionary trends of the field. The study is based on the Web of Science core collection database, retrieving documents from 1944 to 2024 and utilizes Cite space (version 5.7.R7), VOS viewer (version 1.6.18.0) and an online bibliometric analysis platform for quantitative and visual analysis. Through in-depth analysis of this study, we have constructed a knowledge map of the relevant research, identifying the development history, knowledge structure, research hotspots and potential trends in the field. The research covers 265 articles published in 161 journals by 1,365 authors from 427 institutions across 55 countries, which have been cited 7,794 times. This study provides new perspectives and data support for understanding the role of riboflavin in reproductive health. With the rise of personalized medicine and precision nutrition, as well as the integration of interdisciplinary technologies, future research will focus more on the individualized application of riboflavin and the comprehensive influence of social environmental factors. This will not only help to develop more effective intervention strategies to improve global fertility health but also lay the foundation for the continuous development and innovative breakthroughs in this field.
