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.
FAD is the dinucleotide coenzyme form of Vitamin B2 (riboflavin), functioning as a redox cofactor in cellular energy metabolism and oxidative processes. SoleChem supplies Food Grade and Pharma Grade material for use across nutraceutical, food, and pharmaceutical manufacturing sectors.
Flavin Adenine Dinucleotide Disodium (FAD) ships from SoleChem stock in Food Grade and Pharma Grade. It is packed in 25 kg drums or cartons, with 1–5 kg sealed bags available for small-lot orders.
SoleChem supplies customers in Nutraceuticals & Supplements and Food & Nutrition, and holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 22000:2018 certification for food and nutraceutical products.
