CAS 59-30-3: Folic acid
Description:Folic acid, also known as vitamin B9, is a water-soluble B vitamin essential for various biological functions. Its chemical formula is C19H19N7O6, and it has a molecular weight of approximately 441.4 g/mol. Folic acid plays a crucial role in DNA synthesis, repair, and methylation, making it vital for cell division and growth, particularly during periods of rapid development such as pregnancy and infancy. It is commonly found in leafy green vegetables, legumes, nuts, and fortified foods. Folic acid is often used as a dietary supplement to prevent deficiencies, which can lead to anemia and other health issues. In terms of physical properties, it appears as a yellow to orange crystalline powder, is relatively stable under normal conditions, but can degrade when exposed to light and heat. The substance is generally recognized as safe when consumed in appropriate amounts, although excessive intake can lead to adverse effects. Overall, folic acid is an essential nutrient with significant implications for health and development.
