About Folic Acid

Product Name: FOLIC ACID

Grade: IP/BP/USP

Folic acid is used for preventing and treating low blood levels of folate (folate deficiency), as well as its complications, including tired blood (anemia) and the inability of the bowel to absorb nutrients properly.Folic acid helps your body produce and maintain new cells, and also helps prevent changes to DNA that may lead to cancer. As a medication, folic acid is used to treat folic acid deficiency and certain types of anemia (lack of red blood cells) caused by folic acid deficiency.

Superior Pharmaceutical Grade Quality

Our Folic Acid powder complies with all major pharmacopoeial (USP/BP) standards, ensuring accurate identification, exceptional purity (97.0%102.0% as assayed on dry basis), and stringent controls on heavy metals and residual solvents. This guarantees safe, reliable performance in all pharmaceutical, supplement, or food applications.

Comprehensive Safety and Purity Assurance

We maintain rigorous safety parameters including low lead ( 2 ppm) and arsenic ( 1.5 ppm) content, while confirming compliance with ICH Q3C guidelines for residual solvents. Microbial levels are carefully managed, ensuring total aerobic microbial count 1000 cfu/g and absence of E. coli, protecting product integrity and user safety.

Optimal Storage and Longevity

Folic Acids stability is maximized by storing the product in a dry, cool place away from light. Under these conditions, its shelf life extends up to three years. The powder form passes 80 mesh for optimal blending and ease of formulation.

FAQs of Folic Acid:

Q: How is the identity and purity of your Folic Acid confirmed?

A: Our Folic Acid is identified using positive tests as per USP/BP standards, with purity measured by assay (97.0%102.0% on a dried basis) and chemical characterization, including specific optical rotation and appearance. Every batch undergoes comprehensive tests to ensure conformity with global pharmacopoeial requirements.

Q: What are the safety and quality specifications for this Folic Acid?

A: We guarantee that heavy metals are strictly controlled (lead 2 ppm, arsenic 1.5 ppm), the product is nearly odorless, and microbial limits meet GMP standards (total aerobic count 1000 cfu/g; yeast/mold 100 cfu/g; E. coli absent). It also complies with ICH Q3C guidelines for residual solvents.

Q: When and how should Folic Acid powder be stored to ensure stability?

A: Store Folic Acid powder in a cool, dry environment, protected from light and moisture. Proper storage under these circumstances preserves its stability and efficacy for up to three years.

Q: Where can this pharmaceutical grade Folic Acid be used?

A: Our Folic Acid is suitable for use in medicinal formulations to treat folic acid deficiency and megaloblastic anemia, as a supplement, or in food fortification processes. It is intended for manufacturers, suppliers, and formulators who require raw materials that meet rigorous specification standards.

Q: What is the recommended process for formulating products with your Folic Acid?

A: This Folic Acid powder is designed to pass 80 mesh, enabling easy blending into formulations. It is slightly soluble in water and should be incorporated into products as specified by pharmacopoeial or food fortification guidelines. Always ensure compatibility and proper solubility during the development phase.

Q: How does using this Folic Acid benefit pharmaceutical or food products?

A: Including our high-purity Folic Acid in your products ensures compliance with safety and quality regulations, supports effective treatment of deficiency states, and improves nutritional value for fortified foods or dietary supplements, all with traceable manufacturing standards.
