Folic Acid Powder

Product Description

What Is Folic Acid Powder？

Folic acid is a water-soluble B vitamin (vitamin B9) that occurs naturally in food and can also be synthesized. It plays a key role in DNA synthesis, cell division, and red blood cell production, and is particularly important for pregnant women and fetal development.

Folate and folic acid are forms of vitamin B9 used for deficiency and to prevent pregnancy complications. Many foods contain folate or have folic acid added.

Folic acid is used for preventing and treating low blood levels of folate (folate deficiency) and high blood levels of homocysteine (hyperhomocysteinemia). Folic acid is also taken during pregnancy to prevent serious birth defects such as spina bifida. Folic acid is also used for many other conditions including depression, stroke, decline in memory and thinking skills, and many others.

Sources of Folic Acid
Natural Foods:

Dark green vegetables (spinach, broccoli), legumes (lentils, chickpeas), animal liver, citrus fruits, etc.

Fortified Foods and Supplements:

Some cereals and breads are fortified with folic acid; synthetic folic acid (such as folic acid tablets) has a higher bioavailability than the natural form.

Functions of Folic Acid

• Improving Immunity

Folic acid is a water-soluble vitamin that stimulates and enhances the immune function of white blood cells, thereby strengthening the body’s immunity and improving resistance to external viruses and bacteria.

• Improving Anemia

Folic acid is also an important substance that promotes red blood cell formation and proliferation. Appropriate folic acid supplementation helps prevent conditions such as iron-deficiency anemia and megaloblastic anemia.

• Preventing Neural Tube Defects

The neural tube is one of the early structures formed in the embryo, and folic acid is an important substance for DNA synthesis, especially during early embryonic development. Appropriate folic acid supplementation during pregnancy can help prevent neural tube defects.

• Improving Cognitive Function

Folic acid plays a vital role in the normal functioning of the nervous system. It participates in the synthesis and regulation of neurotransmitters, helping to maintain good cognitive function.

• Protecting Cardiovascular Health

Folic acid helps lower the levels of harmful substances such as triglycerides and cholesterol in the blood, thereby preventing atherosclerosis to a certain extent and contributing to the prevention of cardiovascular disease.

Folic Acid VS Folate

Folate and folic acid are both forms of vitamin B9, but folate is the naturally occurring form found in food, while folic acid is the synthetic form used in supplements and fortified foods. Both are important for health, but there are some key differences in how they are processed and utilized by the body.

• Folate

Naturally occurring:
Found in foods like leafy green vegetables, beans, and citrus fruits.
Multiple forms:
Folate exists in various forms in food, including methylfolate (the most bioavailable form).
Absorption:
Folate absorption can be less efficient than folic acid, with only about 50% of dietary folate being absorbed.
Less likely to cause adverse effects:
Because it’s naturally occurring, there’s less concern about potential adverse effects from high intake.

• Folic Acid

Synthetic form:
Created in a laboratory and used in supplements and fortified foods.
More readily absorbed:
When taken on an empty stomach, folic acid is more readily absorbed than folate (up to 100% in some cases).
Potential for unmetabolized folic acid:
In some cases, high doses of folic acid may lead to unmetabolized folic acid in the bloodstream, which some researchers suggest may have potential adverse health effects over time.
Importance in pregnancy:
Folic acid supplementation is crucial for preventing neural tube defects in developing fetuses.
