Most minerals supplemented today are in their inorganic forms (oxides, sulfates and salts) However, chelation has been used to potentially improve absorption of microminerals.  Chelation means “firmly attached”, and in the case of minerals, the inorganic form is attached to an amino acid or other organic component.  It also allows the mineral to be considered “organic” following the attachment to an organic substance.  Chelation allows the compound to stay together in the digestive tract with a potential increase in absorption.

Fulvic Health do not do comparisons on other supplements on the market.  We provide the consumer with information on our product and we try educate our buyer on the fact that in the presence of Fulvic- every other ingredient becomes more effective, assimilation and powerful as it binds and carries the other ingredients and nutrients through a higher molecular level. Most importantly is that you understand that Fulvic is not easily stabilised into a liquid form and most of the chemical bonds are lost. We do not market any peat-based products.

When looking for a supplement, look for one that uses a balanced source of amino acids (building blocks of protein) to promote muscle growth. Our blend contains all essential Amino Acids, naturally chelated and ready for uptake.

We have undergone full registration process of our product and look forward to further expansion in 2014. We confirm that we do not supply our product to any retail outlet as yet, however, we continue to grow through our network of Physiotherapists and specialists in their field. We may not have an agent in your immediate area and therefore we would send product to you at our own cost.

 

The functional groups within the Fulvic acid spectrum that were also shown responsible for the protective, regenerative, and healing responses of cells. This is our strongest claim made! The product was developed in order to assist with anyone injured or recovering or looking to prevent an injury!

Sulfur, an ingredient in our Fulvic Blend, is necessary in the body however some people may be allergic.

“Wide Spectrum” substance that makes it possible to act as the transcellular transporter

of almost any nutrient or mineral.  This is why Fulvic is so unique!

The literature states that these class of compounds has growth related effect as well as health protection capacity by changing some physiology and developing immunity. Lymphocytes play an important role in the body’s defences.  They function in the development of immunity.  Therefore, the increased relative lymphocyte counts observed in the current study showed that HS may exert a beneficial effect on immune systems.

Humic acid stimulates the resistance forces of the body, and results in an increase in the phagocytic activity.  Terratol (2002) also previously proposed that humic acid may stimulate the production of glycoproteins which can regulate the immune system via the maintenance of the balance of killer and T cells.

They inhibit bacterial and fungal growth, thus decrease levels of mycotoxins.  Stress management, immune system, anti-inflammatory activity, antiviral properties as well as prevention of intestinal diseases, mainly diarrhoea in humans and animals are described as its beneficial effect.

Remarkable bone regeneration and resorption characteristics were identified when the animal bone implants were impregnated with a low molecular weight humic substance. (fulvic acid).  Literature has indicated that the red blood cells have the capability of carrying higher percentages of oxygen when in the presence of humate. (Humic and Fulvic Acid)

 

A lack of blood oxygen is a major contributing factor for acidity.  Excess body acidity is

associated with virtually all degenerative diseases; including heart disease, osteoporosis, arthritis, kidney stones, tooth decay, sleep disturbances, depressive disorders,and more. Fulvic quickly destroys acid in the body fluids which helps increase the amount of oxygen in the blood.

The Fulvic acid is the chelator that carries the minerals.  The humic acid acts as dilator increasing the cell wall permeability.  This increased permeability allows easier transfer of minerals from the blood to the bone and cells.

The structure and chemical properties of fulvic acid are thought to be responsible for chelating mineral ions (Plaza et al., 2005), and therefore indirectly affecting nutrient uptake and utilization of these minerals (Aiken et al., 1985; Sanmanee and Areekijseree, 2010).

According to the result, there are promising potential for fulvic acid to become anti-antimicrobial. It seems that within the body, humates stimulate the “good” microbes while suppressing the “bad” microbes. (HuminTech 2004)

Studies have shown that Humic acid inhibit the binding of cells, associated with inflammation, to specific “sticky” molecules on the walls of blood vessels in the vicinity of the inflammation reaction. Another interesting finding was that Humic acid inhibits the activation and/or release of certain blood products (i.e. Cytokines) responsible to stimulate and attract these cells to sites where autoimmune and allergic reactions usually take place, such as airways and joints.  In this way Humic acid could protect areas of existing inflammation by stopping inflammatory cells from reaching affected sites, “sticking” to the nearby blood vessels and releasing toxic substances at these sites.

 

According to Dr George Comstock, of the Training Centre for Public Health Research in Hagerstown, Maryland, antioxidants in the blood are possibly being used to mop up damaging free radicals, by-products of inflammation related to the diseases.

 

When Fulvic Acid finds a virus it coats it with a substance that not only prevents the virus from attaching to a healthy cell, but also sends a signal to the immune system alerting it of the invader.  This kicks the immune system into action against the virus that has been laid vulnerable by this coating. As explained by Dr Howard Peiper Natural humic acid coats viruses and makes it more difficult for them to attach to healthy cells and multiply, Viruses are extremely small organisms that can easily get inside cells. They are parasitic in that they enter healthy cells where they reside and feed off these cells.

While on the lookout for a new group of active agents with the ability to promote wound healing, the doctors came across the humic substances.  The doctors that the bone resorption is most easily explained by the known ability of humate to induce the activation of leucocytes. They said that previous experiments had established that the humic substances are able to bind calcium-containing compounds, stimulates granulocytes,  Fulvic acid has been shown to activate and stimulate white blood cells, promoting healing, turn inorganic calcium into an organic bio-active cellular regenerative medium conducive to new bone and tissue growth, stimulate cellular growth and regeneration.

 

Literature shows enhanced surface expression of tissue factor activity.  There are also changes in intracellular divalent calcium levels and reports show additional transport of iodine from foods into the thyroid glands. Literature has reported that humates block or reduce the production of stress causing hormones. Dermal, oral and subcutaneous application of HA leads to inhibitory effects on inflammation.

The ability to inhibit inflammation is believed to be related with the flavonoid groups contained in HA.

Humic acids act as dilator increasing the cell wall permeability. This increased permeability

allows easier transfer of minerals from the blood to the bone and cells.  (HuminTech, 2004).  Fulvic acids capture and removes toxic metals from the body (Fucks et al., 1982) It is clear that humate compounds play a role in the liver function and protects somewhat from disease and/or disturbances (Lotosh 1991)

Fulvic acid is an important source of macro – and micronutrients, and these materials are able to stimulate oxygen transport. (Visser, 1987; Osterberg and Mortensen, 1994).

 

Fulvic Acid contains all the phytochemical protective substances, amino acid peptides, nucleic acids from the original plant matter, highly refines, transformed and enhanced by the actions of innumerable microscopic plants.

What makes their stored solar energy so different? Substances identified include mono, di and tri-hyroxy acids, fatty acids, dicarboxylic acids, linear alcohols’, phenolic acids and trepenoids. Mixture of many molecules, some based on molecules of aromatic nuclei with phenolic and carboxylic substituent’s, linked together.

Humic Substances have antiphlogostic, absorptive, antitoxic, antibacterial, antiulcerogenic, immunomodulatory and antimicrobial, anti-arthritic, anti-inflammatory properties.

Fulvic Acids are held together by hydrogen bonds to form stable polymeric structures. These are associated with polysaccharides.

Our Fulvic Enhanced products contain a mixture of naturally occurring, biogenic, heterogeneous

organic substances that have remarkable therapeutic effects that accelerates the process of

rehabilitation and recovery better than you may have experienced before in a supplement.

 

It is believed that Fulvic acids create natural balance for many of life processes.

As an antioxidant, acting alone or in conjunction with other proven ingredients,

it is unrivalled in its ability as a “free-radical” scavenger. Acting at times as an acceptor, and

at other times as a donor (depending upon need), Fulvic acid helps to create balance.

 

Also noted are powerful superoxide dismutase’s (SODs) and metalloenymes of every conceivable kind.

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.

 

The original life giving, protective, and healing components from plants (phytochemicals) do not

disintegrate during natures fulvic acid production process, but become highly concentrated. Fulvic acid is a natural water soluble substance of plant origin. It contains many healing phytochemicals

and enzymes which readily disperse throughout the body, even to the interior of cells.

The bacterial and chemical degradation of lignin and other structural carbohydrates in plants are responsible for forming the intermediate products of humic acid and fulvic acid.

(Wersahw, 1989; Gramss et al., 1999)

These intermediate products are then polymerised in the presence of polyphenols.

 

Fulvic acid contains many reactive functional groups, including carboxyls, hydroxyls, carbonyls,

phenols, quinones and semiquinones (Aiken et al., 1985), contains ALL of the phytochemical

protective substances, amino acid peptides, nucleic acids. These reactive groups make Fulvic

acid a candidate for both metal chelating and antioxidant activity (Glynn, 1995; Plaza et al., 2005)

Sekaly et al. (1999)   

The action mechanism in humic substances is associated with their capability to form complex saccharides in the body, which function as modulators of intercellular interaction.  These maintain the balance of the immune system activity, and prevent potential inadequate responses. (Riede et al., 1991)

Humic substances contain minute quantities of several minerals, including iron, manganese and copper (Aiken et al., 1985). Berg (2001)

The elements C, H and O along with Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Sulphur (S) found in Fulvic Acid make up the living matter in athletes, with Calcium and Phosphorus forming athlete skeletal bones. (Ref: Special Publication no 273 ASBN O-85404-811-1 The Royal Society of Chemistry 2001)

Carbon is the backbone of most of the body’s structures.  Carbon is used in the structure of amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates, sugars, lipids, nucleoproteins and nucleic acids.  Carbon balances the ventilation of gasses in the lungs and the gasses in the blood supply to match and allows life to properly continue.

Very simple. Clearing arteries and remove heavy metals, all bodies are cleaner, better irrigated with blood (therefore better fed nutrients and oxygen). Similar to a car engine when he clean spark plugs, injectors, carburettor, valves etc. Simply, the engine runs better, consume less, wear out more slowly. Does it seem logical?

Although advertised as a product for weight loss, a great side benefit is that many people report losing excess weight after starting the diet with humic acid / fulvic. Because it helps to correct hormonal imbalances, help correct assimilation of food metabolism and reduces cravings due to lack of minerals. When these changes occur, many people no longer have the desire to eat as much and do not crave bread, pasta, sweets as before.

Perhaps you are familiar with the term “colloidal minerals”. In fact, these molecules are too large to pass easily through cellular membranes and thus provides limited benefits. Scientists have found that humic acid / fulvic is the element that makes minerals absorbable which gives the ability to make a dramatic impact on various diseases and health problems that affect us today.

Not all products on the market, made from humic materials are of high quality. There are many different chemical structures of humic acid / fulvic. Humic materials produced from high quality deposits have a content of 70% humic acid / fulvic, 12% and 18% mineral powder organic ballast.

Products Humicin soluble form of tablets and have the highest percentage of humic acid / fulvic low molecular weight.

Containers that allow the passage of solvent, usually water, while preventing solute loss. The mechanism for solvent transport occurs by adsorption into one container surface, diffusion through the bulk of the container material, and desorption from the other surface. Transport is driven by a partial pressure gradient. Examples of semi-permeable containers include plastic bags and semi-rigid, low-density polyethylene (LDPE) pouches for large volume parenterals (LVPs), and LDPE ampoules, bottles and vials.

Studies have shed light on the chemical nature of humic and fulvic acid chelation reactions (Chen and Stevenson, 1986). An important property of any chelate is the strength with which it holds the micro-mineral. The Log K of a chelate is a way of quantifying its strength. Humic and fulvic acids that have higher oxygen content can have higher Log K values because they possess a greater number of carboxyl and hydroxyl functional groups. This Log K value for humic and fulvic acids: A moderate value is more to be desired.
