Product Description

Folic Acid (CAS 59-30-3), also known as Vitamin B9 or pteroylglutamic acid, is a water-soluble B-complex vitamin essential for DNA synthesis, cell division, and red blood cell formation. It appears as a yellow to orange-yellow crystalline powder, odorless, and is practically insoluble in water but soluble in dilute alkaline solutions .

Our Folic Acid powder meets USP pharmacopoeial standards with an assay of 97.0%–102.0% (anhydrous basis). It is manufactured through controlled synthesis and purification, ensuring consistent quality for prenatal supplements, food fortification, and pharmaceutical applications.

Quick Details

The Main Applications for Vitamin B9 Folic Acid Powder?

1) Dietary Supplements
Folic acid is a standard ingredient in prenatal vitamins, B-complex supplements, and single-ingredient products. It is particularly critical for women of childbearing age, as adequate intake before and during early pregnancy reduces the risk of neural tube defects.

Common Formats: Tablets, capsules, powder blends

Typical Dosage Reference: 400–800 mcg per serving for prenatal supplements; higher doses may be recommended under medical supervision.

2) Food Fortification
Folic acid is widely used to fortify flour, cornmeal, rice, pasta, and breakfast cereals. Many countries mandate fortification of staple foods to reduce neural tube defect prevalence . Food-grade folic acid is the cost-effective choice for large-scale public health programs.

3) Pharmaceutical Applications
Pharmaceutical-grade folic acid is used in tablets and multivitamin preparations. It is also included in anemia treatments and certain drug formulations.

Stability Guidelines

1) Light Protection: Folic acid is photolabile and inactivated by UV light. Use opaque or amber packaging for finished products.

2) pH Considerations: Stable in alkaline solutions (protected from light); avoid acidic pH ranges (2–5) where solubility and stability are poor.

3) Temperature: Avoid prolonged heat exposure; thermal degradation occurs during high-temperature processing.

4) Formulation Tip: For aqueous formulations, pre-dissolve in a small amount of dilute alkali, then buffer to target pH.
