High-Quality Folic Acid Vitamin B9 Food Grade - Pure Folic Acid for Health Products
Introduction to Folic Acid Science
Folic acid (pteroylmonoglutamic acid) represents the most stable and bioavailable form of folate for nutritional fortification. Our food-grade folic acid meets stringent pharmacopeial standards, offering manufacturers a bright yellow crystalline powder with exceptional purity and consistent performance. As a critical methyl donor and nucleotide synthesis cofactor, this essential B vitamin plays fundamental roles in cell division, neural development, and epigenetic regulation, making it indispensable for prenatal health, cardiovascular protection, and comprehensive wellness formulations.
