Folic Acid Tablets
Healthy Inc is a specialized global supplier and exporter of essential reproductive health vitamins. We provide high-purity Folic Acid Tablets, sourced from WHO–GMP certified solid dosage facilities. This “Guardian of the Unborn” is a top export to maternal health programs, antenatal clinics, and government nutrition tenders in Africa, LATAM, and Southeast Asia, serving as the global standard for preventing neural tube defects and treating megaloblastic anemia.
Product Overview
This formulation contains Folic Acid (Vitamin B9), a synthetic pteroylglutamic acid.
The “Cellular Architect” Specialist:
- DNA Synthesis: Folic Acid is metabolically converted to tetrahydrofolate, which is an essential cofactor for the synthesis of purines and pyrimidines—the building blocks of DNA and RNA. This makes it critical for all rapidly dividing cells (blood cells, fetal tissues).
- Neural Tube Closure: In the first 28 days of pregnancy, adequate folate levels are required to close the neural tube. Deficiency leads to catastrophic birth defects like Spina Bifida (open spine) and Anencephaly.
- Red Blood Cell Maturation: It is required for the maturation of red blood cells. Deficiency causes “Megaloblasts” (abnormally large, immature red cells) leading to Megaloblastic Anemia.
- Homocysteine Regulation: It helps break down homocysteine, an amino acid that, at high levels, can damage blood vessels and increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Manufacturing Authority
Marketed and Distributed by Healthy Inc from WHO-GMP & ISO 9001:2015 certified units.
- Photostability: Folic acid is extremely sensitive to UV light (photolabile). Exposure causes it to degrade into inactive p-aminobenzoylglutamic acid. We use amber-colored blisters or opaque aluminum strips to guarantee shelf-life stability.
- Homogeneity: For the 400 mcg (0.4 mg) prophylactic dose, achieving uniform distribution of the API in the tablet matrix is critical. We use geometric dilution blending techniques to ensure every tablet has the exact micro-dose required.
Therapeutic Indications (Human Use)
Indicated for the prevention and treatment of folate deficiency states:
- Prophylaxis of Neural Tube Defects: For women planning pregnancy (start 3 months before conception).
- Megaloblastic Anemia: Treatment of folate-deficient megaloblastic anemia (often due to poor diet, alcoholism, or malabsorption).
- Hemolytic Anemia: Prophylaxis in chronic hemolytic states (e.g., Sickle Cell Disease) where folate turnover is high.
- Drug Toxicity: Adjunct treatment for patients on chronic Methotrexate or Phenytoin therapy (under medical supervision).
Dosage & Administration
Recommended Dosage (Strictly as per Physician/Gynecologist):
- Route: Oral.
- Prophylaxis (Pregnancy): 400 mcg to 800 mcg daily.
- Treatment (Anemia): 5 mg daily for 4 months, or until blood counts normalize.
- High Risk Pregnancy (History of NTD): 4 mg to 5 mg daily starting before conception.
- Administration: Best taken with water. Absorption is not significantly affected by food.
Safety Warnings:
- The “Masking” Effect (Critical): Folic acid can correct the anemia caused by Vitamin B12 deficiency (Pernicious Anemia) but *not* the nerve damage. This can “mask” the B12 deficiency, allowing neurological damage to progress undetected. Always rule out B12 deficiency before treating with Folic Acid alone.
- Drug Interactions: Can decrease the efficacy of anticonvulsants like Phenytoin and Phenobarbital.
