UNSPSC 50501508: Vitamin B9 supplement

Vitamin supplements are used to ensure that adequate amounts of nutrients are obtained on a daily basis, if optimal amounts cannot be obtained through a varied diet. Vitamin B9 (or Folic acid, folate, vitamin M, vitamin Bc, folacin, pteroyl-L-glutamic acid, and pteroyl-L-glutamate) are forms of the water-soluble vitamin B9. The human body needs folate to synthesize and repair DNA, as well as for other functions.

UNSPSC 50501508 Vitamin B9 supplement is a Commodity code for folic acid and related B-vitamin products that state and local governments procure for health departments, correctional facilities, social services programs, and public health initiatives. State and local buyers source vitamin B9 supplements as part of broader nutritional support and disease-prevention programs, particularly for pregnant women, low-income populations, and institutionalized populations where folate deficiency poses public health risk. The code encompasses both bulk pharmaceutical-grade supplements and consumer-packaged formulations purchased through health procurement channels.
