Folic acid disodium, also known as Vitamin B9 disodium or Vitamin M disodium, is an orally active disodium salt form of Folic acid. It functions as a cofactor in single-carbon transfer reactions and provides protective effects against neural tube defects, ischemic events, and certain cancers. Conversely, an overload of folic acid disodium can impair brain development during embryogenesis and promote the growth of precancerous altered cells, and a deficiency can lead to megaloblastic anemia.
