PHYSIOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES

Product Description

Folic acid is the synthetic form of Vitamin B9, a water-soluble B-complex vitamin essential for DNA synthesis, red blood cell formation, and cell division. It is commonly used to prevent neural tube defects in pregnancy, treat folate deficiency anemia, and support general metabolic health. Found in supplements and fortified foods, folic acid must be converted in the body to its active form, tetrahydrofolate, to be biologically effective.

How Folic acid Works

Folic acid is converted in the body to tetrahydrofolate (THF), its active form, which helps in the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and amino acids, supporting cell division, red blood cell formation, and tissue growth.

Use(s)

• Folic acid is used to prevent folate deficiency, support pregnancy, aid DNA synthesis, and promote red blood cell formation.

Adverse Effects

• Nausea
• Bloating or gas
• Bitter or unpleasant taste in the mouth
• Sleep disturbances
• Allergic reactions (e.g., rash, itching—rare)
