Folate (Vitamin B9, folic acid) is a food-grade essential water-soluble B-vitamin critical for DNA synthesis, cell division, red blood cell formation and foetal neural tube development, supplied as synthetic folic acid or natural 5-MTHF for supplements and fortification.We supply bulk Folate sourced from leading China manufacturers, available in powder form to meet global food industry demand. Our Folate is widely used in pregnancy supplements, b-complex formulations, homocysteine-support products, food fortification and cognitive supplements.
Folate is produced by chemical synthesis (folic acid, pteroylglutamic acid) or natural derivation (L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, 5-MTHF).
It delivers the biologically active form needed for one-carbon metabolism, DNA synthesis, homocysteine regulation, and prevention of neural tube defects in pregnancy. 5-MTHF is preferred for individuals with MTHFR polymorphisms.
