Folate/Folic Acid (5%) — from Lemon Peel

With-Meal Capsule: 8–12 mg powder with a regular meal provides ≈400–600 µg folate at 5% (50 mg/g). Keep the same mealtime daily for consistency.

Sachet To-Go: Pack 8–12 mg single-serve sticks (≈400–600 µg) for travel or work routines; mix with citrus water or smoothie bases.

Gummies: Target ≈200–400 µg folate per 4 g gummy using ≈4–8 mg powder (≈0.1%–0.2% w/w); pilot flavour/acid balance.

Smoothie Add-In: 8–10 mg into a breakfast smoothie for an easy daily habit stack.

Stack Idea: Pair with a simple B-complex or choline routine; add one change at a time and track adherence.

Plant-Derived Source: Lemon peel origin suits clean-label builds.

Predictable Micro-Dosing: 5% assay simplifies µg math for capsules and gummies.

Format-Friendly: Bright citrus profile works in capsules, gummies, sachets and smoothies.

Clean & Compact: Standardized strength supports tidy formulation without stimulants.

Serving Size: 1 capsule or scoop (≈ 8–12 mg powder)

Ingredients: Folate (5%) Extract Powder (from Citrus limon peel)

Does Not Contain: Added sugar, caffeine, artificial colours

Allergen Information: Vegan; gluten-free; dairy-free. Citrus-derived; review if sensitive to citrus.

Usage Recommendation: Take 8–12 mg once daily with meals (≈400–600 µg folate). If stacking with other actives, add one change at a time and space ~90 minutes from medications as a routine practice.

Storage Advice: Store cool, dry & dark. Keep tightly sealed away from direct sunlight.

Keep Away From Children

Q: How do I place plant-derived Folate 5% into a simple daily routine?

A: Keep it tied to the same mealtime you rarely miss and make the serving identical each day. A practical start is 8–12 mg powder, delivering roughly 400–600 µg folate at a 5% assay. Hold the rest of your habits steady—hydration, meal timing, sleep and steps—so you can actually observe the effect of this single change without noise. Run the same serving for two to four weeks before adjusting. If you plan to stack later, add only one variable at a time and track adherence and workflow friction; consistency beats tinkering and keeps evaluation clear.

Q: What’s the practical difference between lemon-peel folate 5% and common synthetic folic acid for formulation?

A: This ingredient provides standardized folate as folic acid equivalents within a botanical peel matrix, which many formulators choose for clean-label positioning and a recognisable source story. Synthetic folic acid offers very compact dosing and high purity but lacks the plant-origin narrative. Choose by build: capsules favour precision and tiny serving sizes, while gummies and sachets favour ease and habit sticking. Whatever you pick, lock timing with meals, document pilot variables (acids, flavours, dispersion), and avoid frequent product switches that blur evaluation and complicate SOPs.

Q: How do I set gummy strength without overcomplicating the formula?

A: Pick the per-gummy folate target first—200 or 400 µg—then back-calculate using 5% (50 mg/g). That translates to ≈4 mg or ≈8 mg powder in a 4 g pectin gummy (≈0.1–0.2% w/w). Keep acids and flavours consistent while you pilot, disperse thoroughly to avoid hot spots, and document every batch variable. Store cool and dark; heat and light can degrade vitamins. Run a small stability check before scaling, then lock your SOP once taste, texture and label-uniformity targets are met for predictable, repeatable batches across production runs.

Q: Can I stack Folate with other B-vitamins without overcomplicating things?

A: Yes—start with one anchor habit first: 8–12 mg Folate 5% powder at a consistent meal. After a week, consider adding a simple B-complex or choline if it fits your build, keeping timing and portions steady. Leave ~90 minutes from medications as a general routine practice. Track comfort, adherence and any workflow friction (capsule vs gummy vs stick) in a simple log. Adjust gradually rather than chasing higher totals; the goal is a routine you can sustain long enough to evaluate results clearly and avoid overbuilding a formula that burdens daily use.
