Folic Acid

Description

1. Product OverviewFolic Acid (Vitamin B9, CAS 59-30-3) is a high-purity synthetic vitamin essential for DNA synthesis, red blood cell formation, and amino acid metabolism. Its primary industrial use is in pharmaceutical formulations, dietary supplements, and food fortification programs to prevent folate-deficiency anemia and neural tube defects. The key value proposition is its ≥98% purity, GMP-certified quality, and proven bioavailability that ensures consistent clinical outcomes. Strategically, Folic Acid is critical as global demand for maternal health supplements and mandatory food fortification rises—projecting the market to reach USD 2.16B by 2033 at 5.4% annual growth.
