Pure Folic Acid Powder – Pharmaceutical Grade Vitamin B9 for Fortification & Nutraceutical Solutions
Shaanxi Bolin Biotech Co., Ltd. is a professional manufacturer of pharmaceutical quality Pure Folic Acid Powder with a purity of 99% tested. Our product is Synthetic Vitamin B9 (CAS No. 59-30-3) that fulfils severe USP/EP/BP/FCC standards, offering better stability and 85-100% bioavailability. With more than 10 years experience, our ISO-certified facilities and state-of-the-art R&D labs create folic acid powder to address industry challenges: variable natural folates and thermal instability during processing. Each batch is then put thru a six-step quality testing process, including HPLC assay verification and heavy metal screening to ensure a lead concentration of less than 2ppm, making it excellent for pharmaceutical APIs, food fortification programs and premium nutraceutical formulations.
What Is Pure Folic Acid Powder?
The product is a highly purified synthetic version of Vitamin B9 (Pteroylmonoglutamic acid) and is a yellow to orange-yellow crystalline material. This synthetic version is consistent in potency and heat resistance, unlike the unstable natural folates in food. It is the gold standard for prevention of Neural Tube Defects (NTDs) and for the treatment of megaloblastic anaemia.
A key difficulty for manufacturers is that natural folate variations do not survive processing. We overcome this problem with standardised dose accuracy and oxidation resistance. This makes it essential for pharmaceutical APIs and fortification projects where reliability is paramount.

Chemical Properties & Stability Advantages
Chemically, the product (Formula C₁₉H₁₉N₇O₆) is more stable against oxidation and heat degradation than reduced derivatives, such as 5-MTHF. It is virtually insoluble in water and organic solvents, but dissolves easily in weak alkali hydroxide solutions, which is important for liquid processing.
Our product is commercially available and is thoroughly tested for Pharmacopeial compliance with assay purity of 95.0% to 102.0% (anhydrous base). Low degradation impurities, especially free amines, provide safety and potency throughout the shelf life. This stability makes it the preferable choice for heat-intensive manufacturing operations where natural folates would degrade.
Key Applications Across Industries
Pharmaceutical Production
You require the right amount of folic acid pills and prenatal vitamins. Our pharmaceutical quality powder guarantees continuous potency to address deficiencies and avoid birth abnormalities.
Food Fortification Programs
Governments need to require that folic acid be added to flour and cereals. Our product can tolerate baking temperatures without losing its efficacy and delivers public health advantages at scale.
Nutraceutical Composition
Develop superior multivitamin, capsule and functional beverage. Our Pure Folic Acid Powder easily combines into pills and powdered drinks with guarantyd bioavailability.
Animal Nutrition
Our stable vitamin B9 is used by poultry and cattle feed makers for reproductive health and growth optimisation in breeding programs
Rigorous Quality Control You Can Trust
Inspection items are in accordance with pharmacopeial monographs (USP <2023> / EP) and are focused on by purchasing agents. We offer a six-step quality verification process:
1. Potency Testing (HPLC): Validates potency to reduce danger of under-dosing.
2. Impurity Profiling: Detects p-aminobenzoylglutamic acid and pterin-6-carboxylic acid (degradation products that indicate poor production).
3. Residual Solvents Testing: USP <467> to ensure no harmful residues from the crystallisation process.
4. Microbial Safety: Salmonella, E. coli and Total Plate Count limitations for food grade applications.
5. Heavy Metals Screening: Lead <2ppm, Arsenic <1ppm as per EU guidelines.
6. Third-Party Verification: Every Certificate of Analysis (COA) is cross-referenced with independent lab results for transparency.

FAQ
Q: Is your product natural or synthetic?
A: Our product is a synthetic pharmaceutical grade folic acid and so is uniform in purity and stability. Always check the CoA (Certificate of Analysis) source.
Q: What are the storage requirements of bulk powders?
A: Store below 25°C in a cool, dry area and away from direct sunlight. Airtight containers are used to prevent clumping due to hygroscopicity and oxidative deterioration.
Q: How does folic acid interact with other vitamins in formulations?
A: Folic acid works with B vitamin complexes and helps in the production of red blood cells. Our technical team will be glad to suggest the best ratios for synergy.
Q: Do you have samples for testing?
A: Yes, we provide free samples for qualifying buyers. Contact our staff for your sample and complete technical documentation.
Q: What paperwork do you give to satisfy regulatory requirements?
A: Each shipment includes a COA, MSDS, third-party test reports, and certificates (KOSHER, HALAL, ISO) to support your import and registration processes.
