Folic Acid

Folic Acid factory supplier

  1. English Name: Folic Acid (it’s also called Vitamin B9—“folic” comes from “folium,” Latin for leaf, since it’s found in leafy greens! It’s the synthetic form of folate, the natural B-vitamin in food)
  1. Specification
    • Purity: ≥ 99% (HPLC tested—pharmaceutical/food grade, no impurities; common supplement doses are 400 mcg to 5 mg per serving)
    • Solubility: Highly water-soluble (mixes easily in drinks, supplements, or fortified foods—no clumps, dissolves clear)
    • Moisture: ≤ 0.5% (keeps it dry, so it doesn’t cake up or lose potency—stable at room temp)
    • Heavy Metals: ≤ 1 ppm (ultra-safe for oral use, even for pregnant people and babies—meets global vitamin standards)
    • Form: Fine crystalline powder (easy to blend into capsules, tablets, or food mixes)
  1. Appearance: White to off-white fine powder with a mild, neutral aroma—definitely not a yellowish-white solid with chocolate scent! It’s odorless and tasteless, so it doesn’t alter the flavor of foods or supplements.
  1. CAS NO.: 59-30-3 (this is the real CAS for folic acid—no single “vitamin B9” CAS, since this is the synthetic form used in most products)
  1. Lead time: 3–7 Working Days (we stock both small batches and bulk powder—fast for supplement brands, prenatal vitamin makers, and food manufacturers)
  1. Package:
    • Small sizes: 10g/100g amber glass jars (light-proof to protect potency) or 30-count prenatal capsules (blended with iron for pregnancy needs)
    • Bulk: 25kg food-grade drums (lined with plastic—27 drums per tray; includes desiccants to keep moisture out)
  1. Main Market: Global—North America (prenatal supplements, fortified cereals), Europe (baby formula, multivitamins), Asia (growing demand for women’s health and pediatric products). Essential for prenatal care, baby nutrition, and people with B9 deficiencies.
  1. Applications & Main Benefits
    • Prenatal & Women’s Health
      • Prenatal Vitamins: 400–800 mcg per serving (taken before and during pregnancy—prevents birth defects in the baby’s brain and spine, like spina bifida)
      • Fertility Supplements: Mixed with zinc and vitamin B12 (supports healthy egg development—popular with people trying to conceive)
    • Dietary Supplements
      • Multivitamins: 400 mcg per serving (covers daily needs for adults—especially important for vegans/vegetarians, who may eat less folate-rich food)
      • B-Complex Blends: Paired with other B-vitamins (supports energy metabolism—fights fatigue from low B9 levels)
    • Fortified Foods & Beverages
      • Breakfast Cereals: Sprinkled on cold/hot cereals (easy morning dose—most “enriched” cereals have it added)
      • Baby Formula: Included in infant formula (40–60 mcg per 100g—critical for baby’s brain and cell growth)
      • Bread & Pasta: Added to flour (mandatory in many countries—ensures even people who don’t take supplements get enough)
    • Medical Uses
      • Anemia Treatment: 5 mg tablets for folate-deficiency anemia (boosts red blood cell production—relieves tiredness and weakness)
      • Pediatric Supplements: Chewable tablets for kids with low B9 (supports growth and learning—prevents developmental delays)

Key Benefits (Why Folic Acid Is Non-Negotiable!)

  • Pregnancy Protection: The #1 benefit—prevents neural tube defects in babies (must be taken 1–3 months before conception, since defects form early!)
  • Cell Growth & Repair: Helps make new cells (skin, hair, blood, DNA)—critical for healing, growth, and preventing cell damage
  • Energy Boost: Converts food into energy—low levels cause fatigue, brain fog, and mood swings (fixes that “dragging” feeling)
  • Red Blood Cell Health: Prevents folate-deficiency anemia—keeps red blood cells healthy, so oxygen travels properly through the body
  • Brain Function: Supports neurotransmitter production (serotonin, dopamine)—helps regulate mood and focus (low levels link to depression)

Quick Tip

For people trying to get pregnant: Start taking folic acid before you conceive—you won’t know you’re pregnant for weeks, and neural tube defects form in the first 28 days. For everyone else: Pair it with vitamin B12 (they work together!)—take with food if you have a sensitive stomach, but it’s easy to absorb either way.
