Folic Acid Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Vitamin B9
- Pteroylglutamic Acid
Folic Acid supplier for food fortification, dietary-supplement, pharmaceutical and animal-nutrition manufacturers in Malaysia. Also known as vitamin B9 or pteroylglutamic acid, it is purchased as a yellow powder to an application- and grade-specific quality specification.
Food grades support fortified flour, cereals, beverages and nutrition powders, while nutraceutical and pharmaceutical grades serve tablets, capsules and ingredient blends. Feed-grade material is used as a vitamin input in livestock and aquaculture premix and compound-feed manufacture.
Folic acid should be distinguished from the broader term folate and from methylfolate ingredients, which have different chemical identities. Buyers also need to distinguish the raw vitamin from diluted premixes because carrier, concentration and handling properties change with the formulation.
Send the required grade, target specification, quantity, application and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Folic Acid grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Food-grade folic acid | fine yellow powder | — | Vitamin fortification of flour, cereals, beverages, nutrition powders and other manufactured foods where the recipe and incoming specification name folic acid rather than another folate form. | The required light- and moisture-protective pack format is confirmed with the quotation. |
| Nutraceutical and pharmaceutical-grade folic acid | fine yellow powder for tablets, capsules and blends | — | Dietary-supplement and pharmaceutical formulation where identity, assay, related-substance and particle requirements are set by the buyer's product specification. | The required pack format is confirmed with the quotation. |
| Feed-grade folic acid | yellow powder for premix and compound-feed manufacture | — | Livestock and aquaculture nutrition systems that specify folic acid as a vitamin input. The final premix concentration and inclusion rate belong to the feed formulation, not to the identity of the raw vitamin. | The required pack format is confirmed with the quotation. |

Common questions about Folic Acid
Are folic acid, folate and methylfolate the same ingredient?
No. Folic acid is a specific vitamin B9 compound identified by CAS 59-30-3. Folate is a broader family term, while methylfolate products are different chemical forms. State the exact ingredient named in the formulation so one is not substituted for another.
How do food, pharmaceutical and feed grades of folic acid differ?
They share the same folic-acid identity but are controlled against different application specifications. Food and supplement buyers may emphasise assay, related substances and formulation behaviour, while feed buyers also need a grade suited to premix handling. Send the complete incoming specification rather than relying on the grade label alone.
Can folic acid be quoted for food and beverage fortification?
Enquiries can specify folic acid for flour, cereals, beverage systems, nutrition powders and other manufactured foods. Include the product type, intended dosage form, target specification and required documentation so the proposed grade can be assessed against the full requirement.
Is folic acid supplied as a pure powder or a premix?
This page covers folic acid as the raw vitamin identity. A diluted premix is a formulated product with its own carrier and concentration, not an alias for pure folic acid. State whether the enquiry is for the raw vitamin or a particular premix specification.
What should a feed manufacturer specify for folic acid?
Provide the target folic-acid grade, assay requirement, intended premix or compound-feed process, quantity and any particle or handling needs. The feed formulator remains responsible for the inclusion level and finished-product design.
What information is needed for a folic acid price quotation?
Send the grade, target specification, quantity, application and delivery location. Add preferred packing and documentation needs so availability, route, timing and commercial terms can be confirmed with a stated quotation validity period.
