Tablet Grade
A tier
Tablet-grade folic acid is specified for compressibility, particle size, and content uniformity in a 400 µg supplement. It may be coated to reduce yellow dust and to survive a brief wet-granulation. The job is a pill that assays the same in every blister, not a flour mill. It is a poor choice to dump into a bread improver—the grind and the coat are wrong. Prenatal and B-complex lines live on this grade. Light and humidity still matter in the press room.
