Description

Sodium Folate CAS NO 6484-89-5 is the sodium salt of folic acid (vitamin B9), a vital nutrient essential for numerous biological processes. This high-purity, water-soluble form offers superior stability and bioavailability compared to standard folic acid, making it a critical ingredient for advanced nutritional and pharmaceutical formulations. It is primarily required by manufacturers in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and food fortification industries seeking reliable, high-quality sources for their products.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in prescription and over-the-counter medications for treating folate deficiency and supporting prenatal health.
• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: A key component in multivitamin complexes, prenatal vitamins, and standalone B-vitamin supplements due to its enhanced solubility and absorption.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: Incorporated into staple foods (e.g., cereals, flour), infant formula, and nutritional beverages to address public health nutritional gaps.
• Clinical & Sports Nutrition: Utilized in medical nutrition products and performance-enhancing supplements for its role in cell growth, repair, and red blood cell formation.
• Animal Feed & Veterinary Products: Added to premixes and veterinary pharmaceuticals to ensure proper growth, development, and health in livestock and companion animals.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Found in specialized skincare formulations for its antioxidant properties and role in promoting healthy skin cell regeneration.

Quality Control

Our Sodium Folate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards, including specifications for identity, assay, and impurity profiles. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with relevant pharmacopeial standards such as USP/EP where applicable.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to air and humidity.
