Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide Disodium (FAD) (CAS 84366-81-4) is the disodium salt of the dinucleotide coenzyme form of Vitamin B2 (riboflavin), a yellow-orange powder that acts as a redox cofactor in cellular energy metabolism and is supplied for nutraceutical, food and pharmaceutical use. The disodium salt form offers improved water solubility (5 g/L) compared to the free acid, with a decomposition point above 203°C. SoleChem supplies Food Grade and Pharma Grade material for use across nutraceutical, food, and pharmaceutical manufacturing sectors.
