Introducing Optifolin+®: Balchem Unveils the Launch of Optifolin+®

June 23, 2025

**Montvale, New Jersey (May 20, 2024) –** We are thrilled to announce the introduction of Optifolin+®, a groundbreaking new ingredient designed to revolutionize the U.S. dietary supplement market. Developed by a global leader in specialty ingredients for human nutrition and health (HNH), Optifolin+® is a bioactive, choline-enriched folate (L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate) that opens exciting new possibilities for brands looking to innovate and differentiate themselves. --- ### A Game-Changing Choline-Enriched Folate Optifolin+® represents a leap forward in nutritional science, combining the proven benefits of folate (L-5-MTHF) with our renowned choline brand, VitaCholine®. This powerful blend supports cellular health across all stages of life, providing essential nutrients for mothers, developing infants, and adults alike. By addressing the unique needs of different life stages, Optifolin+® not only supports maternal and fetal health but also helps maintain cognitive function and cardiovascular health as we age. What makes Optifolin+® truly exceptional is its unparalleled stability and solubility. These qualities make it easier for manufacturers to develop innovative and efficient supplements, including tablets, capsules, sachets, and stick packs. This versatility ensures that brands can create products tailored to consumer preferences, ensuring maximum convenience and compliance. --- ### Elevating Methylation and Cellular Health At the core of Optifolin+®'s effectiveness lies its ability to promote balanced and efficient methylation within the body. Methylation is a fundamental biochemical process that regulates gene expression, neurotransmitter production, and the maintenance of healthy cells. Optifolin+® contains seven times the methyl groups found in other folate products, making it a supercharged solution for those seeking optimal health. This ingredient is particularly beneficial for DNA and RNA synthesis, red blood cell formation, and protein metabolism. It also plays a critical role in neural tube development, supporting healthy fetal growth. Unlike folic acid, which requires conversion in the body, Optifolin+® is biologically active and ready for immediate use. This eliminates the risk of unmetabolized folic acid accumulation, ensuring that consumers receive the full benefits of Vitamin B9 without potential side effects. --- ### A Strategic Launch for the Future According to Frederic Boned, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Balchem Human Nutrition and Health, “The timing couldn’t be better for introducing Optifolin+® to the nutraceutical market. Women’s health is a rapidly growing segment, driven by the demand for personalized solutions that address specific needs throughout life. Folate supplementation is crucial from preconception through pregnancy and beyond, and Optifolin+® offers a unique advantage with its choline-enriched formulation.” Optifolin+® has already received regulatory approval in the U.S., securing the necessary NDIN (New Dietary Ingredient Notification) and patent protection. As part of Balchem’s refreshed Human Nutrition and Health portfolio, this ingredient strengthens our commitment to delivering high-quality, science-backed solutions to the market. Our team envisions exciting opportunities ahead as we explore synergies with other flagship ingredients. --- ### Unlocking New Opportunities For manufacturers, Optifolin+® presents a golden opportunity to innovate and stand out in a crowded marketplace. Its enhanced stability and solubility allow for the creation of diverse product formats, while its unique properties cater to a broad range of consumer needs. Whether you're targeting expectant mothers, athletes, or aging populations, Optifolin+® provides the foundation for creating products that truly resonate with your audience.
