    Product Description:
    Folic acid, also known as vitamin B9 or folate, is a water-soluble B vitamin. Chemically, it consists of a pteridine ring, p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), and a glutamic acid residue. It is a yellow to orange crystalline powder. As a vitamin, folic acid is essential for DNA synthesis, repair, and methylation, as well as cell division and growth. It is widely used as a nutritional supplement and in fortified foods. In medicine, folic acid is classified as an antianemic drug (ATC code B03BB01), primarily used to treat or prevent folate deficiency anemia. It is also critical during pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects in the developing fetus. Furthermore, it serves as a key coenzyme in one-carbon transfer reactions in metabolism.
