Folic Acid

Introduction of Folic Acid:
1. Folic acid is a water-soluble vitamin, which is vulnerable to ultraviolet radiation.
2. So when fresh vegetables are stored under normal room temperature for 2~3 days, the amount of folic acid would lose 50～70%. 50～95% of the folic acid in food is disrupted during cooking.
3. Folic acid can be used as a health food additive to be added in infant milk powder.
4. Folic acid, also known as Vitamin M, is an essential food ingredient in our food supply.
5. As an experienced food additives and food ingredients supplier in China, we can provide you with high quality folic acid at economical prices.

Main Functions of Folic Acid:
1. Lack of folic acid in human (or other animal) would cause macrocytic anemia and leukopenia. So this is especially important for pregnant women.
2. Folic acid plays an important role in the manufacture of nucleic acid (RNA, DNA).
3. It is also the necessary material when human body uses sugar and amino acids.
