The good news is that the Fulvic Acid in our “powder form” exists as an active substance in both basic or “alkaline” and “acidic” conditions, thus these Fulvic Acids carry molecules into the tissues to alkalise the tissues. Minerals such as copper, manganese and zinc found in Fulvic Acid are important for normal cartilage and connective tissue formation and even further supported by the MSM (Methyl Sulfonyl Methane) and Chondroitin Sulphate Bovine content.

Fulvic already has the maximum amount of vegetable silica as a part of its excipients bonded to be absorbed quicker by the body. The transmutation of vegetal silica and magnesium to form calcium in animal and human bones is a typical example of new synthesis of minerals that Fulvic initiates.

Fulvic acids possess less carbon but more oxygen than the corresponding humic substances with different solubility’s. Naturally occurring organic polyelectrolyte’s do participate in reactions with both organic and inorganic compounds that play a vital role in nutritional physiology of single cells that are beneficial to the positive aspects of growth and maturity.

Oxygenating the cell is vital because it enhances energy production.

Each cell when properly nourished is capable of producing their own amino acids, enzymes and other factors necessary for all metabolic processes. Each cell maintains itself, burns its own energy, creates its own proteins, manufactures its own enzymes and duplicates itself. It is therefore important to understand that the total metabolism of the body is the sum total of metabolic operations which is carried on in each individual cell. The nutritional building blocks of these cells may then be considered as maintenance nutrients. These maintenance nutrients must be supplied to the body continually; they are amino acids, major and trace minerals, vitamins and other nutritional factors. The human body can only produce 8 of the amino acids in their body and only one vitamin. It should be noted that vitamins cannot complete their function in the cells’ metabolism without the presence of certain minerals. This is where Fulvic Acid makes the difference as it chelated and binds scores of minerals into bio-available form to be used by the cells, it also is known as an efficient transporter of vitamins into the cell.

Minerals need to be chelated, bound to a protein molecule, to be bio-available. (Mineral assimilation without chelation is only about 10%.) This makes our product highly assimilative. When our humates (fulvic and humic acid dry mixes) are exposed in the system the sulfide, sulfur compounds, hydrogen, carboxylic acids, amines react with moisture, hydrolyzes. These are then in ideal natural form to be absorbed and interact with living cells.

Scientists have found that Fulvic Acid makes nutrients more available from the food/feed ingested and thus corrects deficiencies quickly and safely. Fulvic acts as a vehicle that carries nutrient. When minerals ad trace elements from feed sources come into contact with Fulvic Acid, they are dissolved into a form that makes them more active and available to the body by acting as a catalyst. A catalyst is a compound that facilitates a chemical reaction. Fulvic is often referred to as “nature’s miracle molecule”.

Environmental pollution raises our requirements for minerals, especially zinc, calcium, and iron. However essential trace elements are “essential” only when used in trace amounts. When used in excess they become toxic. The same is true with “major” elements such as iron. As an electrolyte, Fulvic Acid increases the permeability of cell membranes. Excesses of certain minerals can interfere with absorption of other minerals. It is obvious that when metals, minerals and trace elements become complexed into fulvic acid, they take on an entirely new property of availability, unlike their original form. It is when fulvic acid is not present that one should seriously worry about toxic build-up from any source. The amounts of minerals and trace elements used in this product are considered safe, for which estimated safe and adequate daily dietary intakes and recommended dietary allowances are available. A cumulative body of evidence points to the safety of each ingredient in the standardised Fulvic Enhanced ™ based multi-mineral powder concentrate for its use as a dietary supplement by horses.

Yearlings and 2-year-olds need protein for maintenance and growth of muscle tissue. Exercise may increase the rate of muscle deposition, thus increasing the protein demand in young, exercising horses 10 to 20 percent above amounts needed for maintenance and normal growth. Proteins are large compounds made of individual amino acids. Several of the amino acids necessary for muscle deposition cannot be synthesized by the horse’s body, and they must be supplied by the diet. As such, the balance of these amino acids or protein quality is an important consideration for exercising horse diets. Fulvic and Humic acids provide essential organic minerals such as selenium, copper, zinc, iron and substances, within the safety limits as prescribed by the Medicines Control Council, that provide ideal bone muscle cartilage hoof and hair growth as well as essential Amino Acids and Enzymes. Don’t overlook our start-up maintenance blend (Renew with Fulvic) which provides excellent growth stimulating effects. Fulvic acids become individually unique molecules or multi-mineral compounds that plants, and animals, absorb, assimilate and utilize to support growth and health. Reference: Recent research shows that humic acid can be used as animal feed thanks to its growth-promoting effect (e.g. Kocabagli et al. 2002).

Humic extracts (Fulvic acids) are nature’s most powerful antioxidants throughout the world have shown that various mechanisms within the humic molecular structure make it both a donor and acceptor free radical scavenger and antioxidant.

Superoxide dismutase’s help protect many types of cells from the free radical damage that is important in aging, senescence, and ischemic tissue damage. Noted in pharmacological studies is that Fulvic and humic substances are powerful superoxide dismutase’s (SODs) and metalloenymes of every conceivable kind.
