Frequently Asked Questions

Fulvic has the unique ability to chelate (break down) toxins and reduce them to a harmless state. Fulvic is effective at neutralizing a wide range of toxic materials – everything from heavy metals and radioactive waste to petrochemicals. It also breaks down elemental minerals ideal for human consumption. It is known that Fulvic is readily admitted into living cells. Fulvic and Humic Acids are vital in delivering substantial amounts of nutrients and minerals and their living energies into living cells. Once inside the living cell, Fulvic aids in the selective trading or supply of minerals and other nutrient factors, ensuring that the cells get precisely the amount of minerals and nutrients they need. Fulvic has several primary functions. It dissolves minerals and trace elements, transports the nutrients into the cell, catalyses enzyme reactions, stimulates metabolism, detoxifies pollutants and assimilates into cell structure by increasing the permeability of the cell membrane. It is the only known agent capable of this process. The potential of Fulvic and Humic Acid cannot be overstated. It has the potential to treat and neutralize radioactive and toxic wastes, its role in soil regeneration and the creation of organic minerals as nutritionally superior food supply makes Fulvic simply unrivaled.

Fulvic electrolytes contain and transport essential nutrients, essential and trace minerals in a highly charged bioavailable form and serve as an outside electrical force. They charge, recharge and restore the potential that is or once was normal to the cell, balancing and supercharging cellular life. The Fulvic electrolytes act as a miniature battery charger, providing a small but constant charge of nutritional and mineral energy replacement. They create a natural balance for many life processes and help each cell perform at its maximum potential. Toxins and heavy metals are taken up by the Fulvic electrolytes, to be carried away from the cell and discharged from the body. As a transporter of energy-rich and bio-electrically charged nutrients and minerals, the Fulvic electrolytes greatly increase the percentage rate of absorption through the digestive system of minerals, nutrients, vitamins, and herbs into the circulatory system. From there, they carry life force energetic compounds to and easily through the cell membrane, across the cytoplasm and directly to the nucleus of the cell. At this point the Fulvic electrolytes discharge electrical energy and their nutrient and mineral components. It is literally recharging and replacing exhausted or diminished components within the nucleus of the cell. Mineral and nutrient wastes are complexed and taken from the nucleus, then transported back across the cell for removal. Fulvic electrolytes act as a donor, and at other times as a receptor based on a cell’s requirement for balance. They also absorb both positive and negative electrical charges from free radicals in a process of neutralization.

The potential for FvA to be a candidate in preventing inflammatory diseases like diabetes arises from most of the research conducted over the last decade. Traditional medicine and modern research claim FvA can modulate the immune system, influence the oxidative state of cells, and improve gastrointestinal function; all of which are hallmarks of diabetes. The most adequately researched claim of FvA is its ability to modulate the immune system. FvA can be both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory in animal systems. Asthma, allergies, and eczema, along with many other disorders, can be associated with overactive immune cells. FvA also is shown to reduce cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) secretion after homocysteine stimulation in primary human monocytes. FvA can have anti-inflammatory and anti-allergy effects. It provides protection against pathogens and stops tumour growth by initiating the inflammatory response. Schepetkin et al. show that FvA can activate isolated murine macrophages from the peritoneal cavity. Nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) important for killing bacteria and intracellular signalling increase in FvA-treated peritoneal macrophages. This gives rise to the thought that FvA can activate the immune system when needed to protect against infection and foreign pathogens. FvA has been shown to sequester superoxide radicals and other ROS outside of the cell. Inside the cell though, FvA can uncouple the electron transport chain in liver mitochondria, which is associated with lowering ROS production. The gut forms the interphase of the outside world, the microbiome, and the host. Sufficient evidence shows that poor gut health can lead to inflammation and disease. FvA is suggested to improve the gut flora, nutrient absorption, and heal adverse disorders related to the gut. FvA may influence the bacterial community. The cause of diabetes remains a mystery, but research associates inflammation, oxidative stress, and changes in the gut microbiome among the many causative factors. FvA might fit as an adjunct treatment to reduce markers of oxidative stress and inflammation as FvA can act in a similar manner to NSAIDs.

Nearly fifty years of scientific research shows that humic acid / fulvic is a valuable support for those who want to solve nutritional imbalances, immune system diseases and viral diseases. We strongly believe that the greatest contribution of humic acid / fulvic health of humanity will be in addition to prevention. Every scientific test shows that its use is most effective when administration is before the hazard of disease. Daily use of humic acid / fulvic helps the body manufacture glycoproteins that balance and regulate various components of the immune system. Besides microbial threats, witnessing a continuous supply of industrial and agricultural toxic pollutants in our air and water and, unfortunately, even in food. Humic acid / fulvic acts as a gentle daily cleanser and easily, which will inhibit unpin these poisons in the body.

Laboratory tests performed on humic minerals have shown that they have strong antibacterial and antifungal effects! In other words: they kill pathological bodies!

Humic acid / fulvic viruses attack “and dressing”, so prevent them attach to healthy cells and multiply. Viruses contain a protein-receptor that – in the absence of humic acid / fulvic – keeps them attached to the healthy cells. This protein encapsulates the virus making it resistant to attacks from the immune system. When humic acid / fulvic dress finds a virus in a substance that not only prevent the virus to attach to healthy cells but also send a signal to the immune system, alerting him about this “invader”. Vulnerable due to shell Humic / Fulvic, this time the virus is not only spotted but annihilated the immune system. As shown in Klocking experience and Sprossig edition, 1972, vol.28 paragraph 5, “Medical studies show that respiratory difficulties common in children are readily resolved with humic acid supplementation / fulvic”. Because of these positive results, a valuable addition to taking this supplement would be on a specific diet flu season, with the necessary vitamins to strengthen the immune system.

Humic acid / fulvic helps the body to reconcile sugars needed to produce glycoproteins. These help to regulate and balance the immune system to work so effectively, avoiding excessive inflammation. In this sense, positive results were found in arthritis, asthma, eczema, irritable bowel syndrome, psoriasis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis, rheumatism.

By chelating action (attraction and attachment to), humic acid / fulvic / fulvic remove toxins from the body as waste. As the chelating agent is well determined and applied in various industries outside the field of human nutrition – such as animal husbandry applications.

Humic acid / fulvic minerals contain up to 70 micronutrients (certified organic) that are not typically obtained in our modern diets. 

Humic acid / fulvic acid quickly destroys the body fluids which helps to increase the amount of oxygen in the blood. Excess acidity in the body is associated with almost all degenerative diseases including cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, arthritis, kidney stones, tooth decay, sleep disorders, depressive disorders, and more.

Research has shown that humic acid / fulvic improves enzymatic reactions in cells and produces maximum stimulation of enzyme. Enzymes are responsible for over 300 complex reactions in the body. They are the life force behind vitamins and minerals. A lack of digestive enzymes may overstress the digestive system, leading to the syndrome of poor absorption of nutrients.

Although humic acids / fulvic not antibiotics in the technical sense of the word, such as medicines, their natural immunization is comparable to their power, but without the well-known adverse effects. Unlike antibiotics, humic acid / fulvic can be used indefinitely without creating resistant strains of the disease. Comprehensive clinical studies show that treatment with humic acid / fulvic is more effective than conventional drug therapy.

Toxicity in the body can show itself in different ways in different people. Most detoxifying products have side effects but our Fulvic Enhanced™ products generally do not have any side effects.  Other detoxifying products pull heavy metals and toxins out of the tissue and flood the bloodstream with these toxins.  Your body is then overwhelmed by being hit with all of these toxins at once, which is what cause all the unpleasant side effects. Fulvic Health may introduce you to our Zeolite Detox powder to further assist with detoxification. With Zeolite, when the toxins and heavy metals are pulled out of the tissue, they are trapped in the zeolite cage and your body is not re-exposed to them, thereby reducing the possibility of any negative side effects.  Although possible reactions may differ by individual.

Zeolite does not “strip” minerals from fulvic nor humic. The Zeolite molecule – like the fulvic and humic molecule – is negatively-charged. Zeolite is actually very compatible with fulvic and humic. The humic and fulvic solution acts as a carrier transporting the Zeolite molecules into the body. Then, the negatively-charged zeolite molecules attract and bind to any positively-charged heavy-metals and toxins in the body allowing for safe elimination by the body’s elimination systems.

Because different people have different needs, each individual will respond in a unique manner. For a few days after beginning to take Fulvic Acid, your body will begin to undergo a mild detoxification process that cleanses and revitalizes removing toxins build up and flushing it out of your body. You may notice loose bowels or joint soreness as disease causing pollutants are gradually removed. Remember it is only through the remarkable properties of oxygen that toxins can be completely flushed from our bodies so trust that your body is responding as it is supposed to. After all, our bodies are 2/3 water and if that water has been “dirty” for a long time, it’s no wonder there are toxins anxious to be flushed out!
Depending on how you are feeling, you may reduce or increase the dosage. If you take less, the process of detoxification will slow down. If you take more, the process will accelerate. You cannot overdose on Fulvic acid, because it is a nutritional supplement made from natural substances. The body will use what it needs and eliminate what it doesn’t. If you are feeling stressed or run down, you can take additional dosages. If you are doing physical work, playing sports, working late, it is fine to take an extra dose of Fulvic acid to give your body additional energy.

Generally, it is probably wise to use non-chlorinated liquids as a diluent for light humics, or let chlorinated water stand open to the air for 24 hours before using.

No. The product should be consumed by itself, at least 15-minutes to ½ hour away from food and/or other nutritional supplements. CAUTION! Do not take it directly with medications! Fulvic reduces the surface tension of cell membranes allowing whatever substance/s you are taking with the fulvic to penetrate into the cells more easily.

This is difficult question to answer and all depends on the individual person. Everyone shows toxicity in their body in different ways. Some may have bad skin; some may show severe medical issues. Based on the persons exposure to toxins and heavy metals, there are different levels in people. People also respond differently to treatment. Our general recommendation is to take the product for 90 days and then be re-evaluated by your medical professional to see what progress has been made. Please make sure that you are also taking the recommended dosage based on your needs to ensure that you are receiving the optimum benefit from the product. As mentioned above, some people say they feel more energetic but one of the first things that people notice (apart from a difference in stool consistency) is their nails grow quicker and their complexion improves. If you suffer with bloating after meals, the effects of these tablets may be instantaneous.

No. There are no known interactions with medication with the exception of Warfarin. Even though Fulvic Enhanced blends well with most alkaline substances, manufacturing research recommends you use it as directed. However, it is ok to take other supplements within the same day as taking Fulvic Enhanced just don’t take them at the same time.

Scientific claims have stated that Humates (Fulvic and Humic Acid) are shown to balance T Cells, which can attack joints and bones thus causing auto-immune diseases arthritis. Research shows that the red blood cells likely carry more oxygen with the presence of Humates, contributing to quicker healing times. Not only has swelling reduction been noted, also observed have been signs of bonding to collagen fibres to aid in repair to damaged tendons and bones!

An oxidant is an unstable molecule which basically strives to be stable again, to do this it has to steal from other molecules.

These are important for normal cartilage and connective tissue formation and even further supported by the MSM (Methyl Sulfonyl Methane) and Chondroitin Sulfate 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.

The ability to think, feel, move, eat, sleep and even talk all depends on energy from oxygen. All functions of our body are regulated by oxygen. It must be replaced on a moment-to-moment basis because 90% of our life energy depends on it, energizing cells so they can regenerate. Lifestyle factors such as poor nutrition, alcohol, pollution, toxins, pharmacological drugs or lack of exercise all deprive the body of vital oxygen setting the stage for chronic degenerative disease and a weakened immune system.

When the immune system is compromised by lack of oxygen, the body is more susceptible to opportunistic bacteria, viral, and parasitic infections, colds and flu. Initial symptoms of oxygen deficiency may include general weakness, fatigue, circulation problems, poor digestion, muscle aches and pains, dizziness, depression, memory loss, irrational behaviour, irritability, acid stomach and bronchial complications.

Fulvic Acid delivers ionic minerals, enzymes and oxygen in perfect balance to all cells in the body, ensuring all cells are fully oxygenated and mineralized. When the nutrients are in ionic form, they’re readily absorbed by cells and are recognized by the body as a natural fluid.

Fulvic Acid has a very high zeta potential. Zeta-Potential is the ability of a molecule to hold an electrical charge. The electric potential of a cell is its life force. When the Zeta-Potential of a cell is increased, the cell becomes stronger and more active. A basic law of nature states that the smaller the size of the colloid the longer the colloid can hold its Zeta Potential. Zeta-Potential is the force that maintains the discreteness of all the cells in our body. Also, the higher the Zeta-Potential the more able nutrients are able to pass through cells delivering nutrients and eliminating toxins. When a cells electrical potential is reduced to zero the cells disintegrate. When the electrical potential is reduced, progressive weakness and illness may occur. A person’s electrical potential may be lowered by loss of blood or fluids, excessive emotional stress, accidents, lack of sleep, lingering infections, and an unbalanced diet.

In highly developed industrialized society, we are constantly bombarded by free radicals from toxic environmental influences like polluted oxygen-deprived air, poor lifestyle choices like smoking and drinking, inferior or highly processed foods. Free radicals cause progressive damage resulting in the functional decline that defines aging. Free radicals are part of a well-balanced system and are produced naturally by the body to supply energy to cells, fight bacteria and viruses as well as to regulate hormones. When systems are in balance, the production and management of free radicals proceeds as nature intended. It is only when we have too many free radicals in our bodies that degenerative disease develops. The only way to counteract the effects of free radicals on cells is by eating foods rich in antioxidants or to supplement our diets with antioxidant products such as Fulvic Acid.

During exercise, oxidants are produced which can cause damage to cells and tissues. These oxidants are actually produced by our own metabolism and, as sportspeople have a faster average metabolic rate than non-sports people, their requirements for anti-oxidants is higher. An oxidant is a very unstable molecule which basically wants to become stable again. To do this it has to ‘steal’ from other molecules which, if those molecules are not anti-oxidants, cause damage. The importance of preventing this is highlighted by the fact that in some circumstances, oxidants cab attack DNA. The complex structure fulvic acid makes it far more powerful an anti-oxidant than any other nutrient known.

Re-mineralization of our bodies without Fulvic has little benefit because colloidal minerals by themselves are not readily useable by cells. It is the Fulvic in conjunction with minerals that makes them effective.
Fulvic makes vitamins more absorbable by complexing them into organic, ionic forms that are easily transported into and through membranes and cell walls. Once the nutrients meld into the Fulvic complex, they become bioactive and bioavailable.

Technically, Fulvic Acids are not acids, nor are they minerals, in fact, they are complex compounds with the ability to attract and hold both negatively and positively charged ions, thereby creating complex compounds rich in minerals, amino acids, enzymes and nutritional components that the cells of animals can easily absorb and use to promote vibrant health.
Our production is in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practices standards and GMP certified through Calpharm Pharmaceuticals. Every batch of Fulvic acid and humic acid released is tested for common bacteria, pathogen and parasites. Samples are taken randomly and tested independently by a professional lab, to ensure a safe product. Copies of the lab test results are available to customers upon request.
Always consult with your Physician before undertaking any course of “treatment” or changing treatment or medications.

An Electrolyte is an element or compound that, when melted or dissolved in water or other solvent, dissociates into ions and is able to conduct an electric current. Electrolytes do differ in their concentrations in blood plasma, interstitial fluid and cellular fluid and do affect the movement of substances between those compartments.
Scientists believe that electrical and chemical balances at the cellular level can be created and controlled by electrolytes. The most powerful electrolyte known in nature is the powerful Fulvic organic electrolyte that restores, regenerates, regulates and balance cellular life. When the cell is restored to its normal chemical balance, and thereby achieves its bio-electrical potential, life flourishes where sickness, weakness, disintegration and death would have resulted. This is the Fulvic phenomenon. Fulvic Acid has a very high zeta potential.

An Electrolyte is an element or compound that, when melted or dissolved in water or other solvent, dissociates into ions and is able to conduct an electric current. Electrolytes do differ in their concentrations in blood plasma, interstitial fluid and cellular fluid and do affect the movement of substances between those compartments. Proper quantities of Poly-electrolytes (many electrolytes) and a balance among them are critical to normal metabolism and cellular function, this is why Fulvic Acid is so powerful. There are approximately 10 poly-electrolytes required to survive; however, as many as 60 or more are essential for optimum health, energy, strength, stamina and recovery. Certain acute and/or chronic diseases, conditions and medications may lead to a deficiency of one or more poly-electrolytes as well as an imbalance among them all. Diarrhoea may cause a loss of poly-electrolytes, leading to hypovolemia (massive blood loss).

Ascorbic Acid, or Vitamin C, is essential for synthesis of collagen and intercellular material.

• Provide a powerful anti-inflammatory property which may be effective for eczema, psoriasis and acne.
• Offer anti-bacterial properties to help combat acne.
• Detoxify our cells to ensure that environmental toxins cannot cause skin problems.
• Balance the pH of our bodies.
• Combine with silica to provide the most effective anti-wrinkle formulation available.

Bioplex or chelated minerals are minerals that are bound to organic proteins and are absorbed far more efficiently than inorganic minerals.
Materials that do not originate from the decay of bio matter of soil, sediment or natural waters should not be considered as humic substances even although they may display the same acid/base solubility behaviour and colour as humic substances.

It appears that molecules in a humic system differ gradually from one another in their chemical and physical properties in a continuous manner, thereby accounting for the inability to separate these materials into pure components.

• Contains a rich full-spectrum of organic fulvic acid and humic acid trace minerals, trace vitamins, amino acids and a vast array of other naturally occurring vital organic fulvic and humic nutrients and components, and,
• Because the premium Leonardite/Carbonaceous Shale source deposit is of fresh-water origin, the fulvic acids, humic acids, and fulvic and humic nutrients and components are extremely bio-available—meaning, the fulvic and humic trace minerals, amino acids, and other fulvic and humic nutrients and components are absorbed by the cells extremely easily and extremely-fast.

Another reason the fulvic and humic nutrients are so easily absorbed is because they have a natural negative(–) electromagnetic charge and the intestinal wall has a positively(+) charged electrochemical gradient. Remember, regarding magnetic poles, opposite magnetic poles (N/S) are attracted to each other, and identical  magnetic poles(N/N or S/S) repel each other. So, because the fulvic and humic molecules have a natural negative electromagnetic charge they are attracted to the intestinal wall which has a positively charged electrochemical gradient.

Fulvic contains a vast array of naturally occurring fulvic and humic Trace Minerals, Trace Vitamins, Bio-chemicals, Supercharged antioxidants, Free-radical scavengers, Super oxide dismutases (“SOD”), Phytochemicals, Trace element complexes, Cytokines, Enzymes, Natural hormones, Amino acids, Natural antibiotics, Natural antivirals, and Natural fungicides.

“With most viruses, the inhibitory effect of (Humic Acid) is directed specifically against an early stage of virus replication, namely virus attachment to cells (Klocking and Sprosig, 1975; Schols et al., 1991; Neyts et al., 1992).”

“…it appears likely that the poly-anionic Humic Acids occupy positively charged domains of the viral envelope glycoproteins, which are necessary for virus attachment to the cell surface (Neyts et al., 1992).”

The below article authored by Dr. William J. Saccoman explains the difference between “organic”plant-derived trace minerals and “inorganic” metallic (potentially toxic) trace minerals.

There is a reason trace minerals are called trace minerals – the body [needs] them in [trace] amounts. The next time you see the elements “aluminum”, “arsenic” and “lead” listed on the label of a product find out whether or not they come from an organic plant source or inorganic metallic source. If the source is inorganic (like the minerals found in most tap water) you should be concerned, however, if the source is organic be assured that the elements are organic plant-derived, essential and 100% safe.

Oxygenating the cell is vital because it enhances energy production.

The term “fulvic acid” is not new. The term originated approximately 200 years ago and has been used ever since, mainly because an acidic agent was originally introduced into the humic solution causing the humic components to separate (as described above). Such acid extraction method is still in use by some processors; however, WE DO NOT USE ANY MANNER OF ACID EXTRACTION during any part of our processing procedures.

Probiotic

There are also other gut biology effects associated with humic acid. These ubiquitous organic acids can assist the breakdown of both the carbohydrate and protein components of bacteria and virus particles while supporting the proliferation of beneficial probiotic species.

Humic substances offer hope for those suffering from chronic and latent viral infections.

“Medical Aspects and applications of Humic Substances: Regarding the anti-viral activity of Humic Sub stances April 9 2012Prof Renate Klocking and Dr rer.nat.Bjorn Helbig, Institure for Antiviral Chemotherpay, Friedberich University, Jena, Germany www.humicnews.com)

The Fulvic Acid Molecule often contains within it structure coenzymes and important factors which the cells utilize in stimulation the manufacturing of enzyme development. (Reference: Williams Dr Roger J 1977)

Each cell when properly nourished is capable of producing its 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 the body and only one vitamin. It should be noted that vitamins cannot complete their function in the cell’s 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.

Scientists have found that Fulvic Acid makes nutrients more available from the food 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”.

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.

Complexed into the Fulvic, nucleic and amino acid team are innumerable and essential minerals and rare earth elements. They are amorphous high molecular weight substances. They are not manufactured and they are natural compounds-micro and macronutrients from plants, phytochemicals. They are concentrated and transformed and are rock like, inert or fossilized. From yellow to brown to dark coloured they remain truly organic. They also contain silica as a part of their excipients. The flavonoid structure comes entirely from microbial action on ancient plant deposits. They contain sodium, ammonium or potassium humates are highly hygroscopic.  They will therefore never have the same colour. The uroeza of ammonium chloride, which assists with increased elimination of toxins and to prevent kidney stones or bladder may give the product a slight smell upon opening the container.

Youngsters 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 athletes is 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 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 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 and growth as well as essential “Amino Acids” and Enzymes. Don’t overlook our start-up maintenance blend, Fulvic Renew, which provides excellent growth stimulating effects. Fulvic acids become individually unique molecules or multi-mineral compounds that plants, and animals, and humans absorb, assimilate and utilize to support growth and health.

Fibromyalgia, is a syndrome rather than a specific disease. As such there are a complex of symptoms which may or may not be present in any particular clinical instance of fibromyalgia. The most common symptoms, however, can all be helped by fulvic acid complexes as fulvic acid has been shown to be effective in reducing muscle and joint pain, improving sleep, and decreasing fatigue. Generalized muscle stiffness should also be reduced

Scientists found that fulvic acids show significant success in preventing and combating free radical damage to pancreatic islet B cells, which is the widely accepted cause for diabetes mellitus. What they discovered was that the Fulvic acid preparation significantly increases superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. Their clinical studies show that fulvic acids diminish the development and progression of diabetes, and assisted in the treatment.

Bhattacharya, S.K. Activity of shilajit on alloxan-induced hyperglycemia in rats. Fitoterapia, Volume LXVI, No 4, 1995, pg. 328.

An obscure and highly technical U.S. Government report shows that there is a direct correlation between natural soil substances (humus, humic, fulvic) and the absence of tuberculosis in humans. This report and many other studies reveal that certain humic extracts, particularly fulvic acids, contain a magnificently powerful spectrum of natural micronutrients, phytochemicals, anti-viral and antibiotic-like agents that directly inhibit and destroy disease pathogens, while fortifying and regulating the immune system, increasing overall health. In the report, these extracts, although undetermined at that time, are described as being as potent as penicillin in equally small amounts.

This information provides support for the idea that humic substances (fulvic acids) are a

little-known and important missing link throughout the food chain. Modern agricultural

practices have eliminated the humic substances from farm soil, which parallels

increases in viral plant, animal, and human viral infections. Common to rich organic soil

humus, fulvic acids have been shown to have unequalled value in defending plants,

animals, and man against viruses of all kinds, and also in significantly increasing and

balancing immunity. Of interest is also the fact that hospital studies in China showed

that children with serious respiratory infections responded exceptionally well to humic -fulvic extracts when nothing else seemed to work.

Over 50% of hospital patients treated with humic acid for various chronic diseases noticed that they were able to sleep more relaxed.

Bingwen Su, Jiangxi Humic Acid, 3 (1985)

Humic extracts, especially fulvic acids, when administered both topically and orally are proven to regulate the immune system as powerful immunomodulators, and to work as potent antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents.

In studies with hospital patients with rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disorder, humic extract bath therapy treatment had a 92% success rate. Several hundred similar studies have been performed in China showing that fulvic acid and humic extracts are proven highly successful.

We do supply the PH strips to sub agents and suggest that they give it to clients every 6 months. We also recommend

that a client on chronic medication visits their medical practitioner after 6 months to re-evaluate their medication dosages

as it is likely they will need adjusting as the body balances and health improves.

Yes, it is preferable and preferably at 2 x 2 per day.

This has been a verbal suggestion up to now. We prefer a client takes 4 capsules per day. What we

will suggest in the insert is to reduce the dosage of a detox reaction occurs.

The recommended is also in the new insert which is spring or filtered water.

This wording was given to us by the MRA (Medicines Regulation Association) but we are changing this insert to contain a lot more information and the label too! We discussed these necessary changes which are being done as we speak.

The specific properties of our Fulvic Enhanced™ humic and fulvic products enable their application in agriculture and biomedicine for both animal and human use. It is important to know that Humic Substances from different sources vary somewhat in the elemental composition. A complete characterization of our raw material is from result of microbiological and pedological studies and confirmed to have over 690 listed excipients.

It is a macro colloidal molecule and a polyelectrolyte which contains an easily hydrolysable protein and carbohydrate fraction attached to a highly condensed core which is partly aromatic in character with structural elements derived from phenols, carboxyl, carbonyl and quinoa groups together with aliphatic hydroxyl groups as well as heterocyclic nitrogen and oxygen and hydrogen.

Fulvic acid is extracted by an oxidation process in an aqueous medium.  The acid aqueous medium contains the Fulvic acid after the oxidation reaction (Extraction).

The residue contains insoluble humic acid which is extracted with aqueous potassium hydroxide.  The basic aqueous solution now contains potassium hamate.

Potassium hamate has been tested in an evaluation of the anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory properties at the University of Pretoria with an additional publication done on our derivative through the Pharmacology Department in the Faculty of Health Sciences.

The ubiquitous presence of humic substances combined with their ability to provide multiple sites for chemical reaction, makes them relevant to numerous biogeochemical processes such as nutrient bioavailability. The ionized Fulvic Acid has a higher negative charge, which increased the energetic barriers and inhibits the approximation of Fulvic Acid caused by the Brownian movement.

There is no sense to supplementing an expensive organic or complexed mineral that is not absorbed as such, but merely functions as an inorganic mineral once it reaches the absorption site in the SI.

The ideal mineral ligand complex should be:

• Water soluble (for solubilisation in intestinal lumen).
• Stable at the physiological pH range 2 to 7,4 (to prevent dissociation before reaching the

absorption site).

• Stable in the presence of chelating agents.
• Absorbed from the GIT as a complex.
• Result in improved availability of both mineral and ligand, which will culminate in improved animal

performance

Fulvic acid is the lowest molecular weight portion of humic substances. By definition it will be golden in colour where humic acid will be brown to black. the fulvic is absorbed almost instantly (facilitating the delivery of the 74+ nutrients it contains), while the humic passes through the digestive track (where it aids in digestion) By the way, Humic AND fulvic have a very earthy taste (like soil), while fulvic alone has a very strong taste (like lemon).

Virtually all persons from age 18-20 years have body up intoxicated – in some way – with heavy metals (especially mercury, lead and cadmium). But humic acid / fulvic is absolutely necessary especially for all those who suffer from or are susceptible to myocardial infarction, heart attack, strokes, hypertension, impotence, atherosclerosis, high cholesterol, varicose veins, osteoporosis, mental fatigue, arthritis, rheumatism.

As we age cholesterol, heavy metals and calcium accumulates on the inner walls of the circulatory system. These deposits are diagnosed under different names: ateroscleorza, hardening of the arteries, arteriosclerosis, etc… Over time, these deposits partially or totally obstructing blood flow. Tissues internal organs do not receive enough oxygen and nutrients leading to malfunction or cease functioning organ. If root is then heart infarction or heart attack occurs if the root is the brain stroke occurs, but only affected organs are the heart and brain. Other organs such as liver, kidneys, sex organs and so on, are affected equally.

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.

Micronutrients exist within plant cells in the form of organic chelates. Chelation occurs when certain large molecules (usually those containing carbon) form multiple bonds with the micro mineral. The larger, organic molecule binds the micronutrient to itself in such a way that it protects the micronutrient from reactions with other ions in solution. Figure 1 shows the structure and function of fulvic acid. As an example of chelation with minerals, humic and fulvic acids complex through adjacent functional groups on their benzene-ring structure (Cheam, 1973). In another example, such as with copper the two bonds formed between copper’s positive charges and the negatively charged carboxyl groups protect the copper from interactions with most inorganic humic and fulvic acids possess several functional groups capable of complexing micronutrients. The most important of these functional groups is the carboxylic acid (COOH) and hydroxyl groups (Boyd et. al., 1981). When these functional groups occupy adjacent positions on the benzene ring backbone of humic and fulvic acids, chelation can occur

YES! Unless your doctor specifically prohibits you from taking it. Fulvic and Humic are also known for their abilities to support the body in detoxification, removal of heavy metals, and reducing harmful side-effects of radiation treatment. If you are on chemotherapy or receiving radiation treatments remember to consult with your doctor before taking Fulvic. Keep in mind that many doctors have no knowledge at all about fulvic or humic. You may want to print the Fulvic Acid Report and some of the other educational documents that we have available on this Web site and present them to your doctor to read. Your doctor may very well be grateful that you did. (We have several [happy] customers that are doctors that had not heard about fulvic and humic minerals and when they read the reports about fulvic and humic minerals they began taking Fulvic & Humic themselves as well as providing it to their patients with good results.

One of the benefits of Fulvic is it helps the body to detoxify.

Some people may experience mild detoxification when they begin taking the product. Signs of detoxification may include: mild diarrhoea, mild joint aches, flu-like symptoms, phlegm, etc. The detox reaction is typically only short-term (a day or so up to a few weeks).  The detox reaction is a normal, and even healthy reaction that may indicate healing. The most common problem with detox is that people sometimes stop taking the supplement and thus discontinue taking the very substance that is most likely helping the body recover. Although the experience may not be pleasurable, the detox symptoms are generally an indication that healing is taking place.

If you experience any detox symptoms you may simply reduce the dosage, then, as your body becomes stronger and you start feeling better you can move towards the recommended dosages.

Research shows that organic plant-derived trace minerals will actually replace the heavy metals deposited in the body.  The heavy metals are then flushed from the body.

There is a huge difference between an organic and an inorganic mineral.  Once a plant source utilizes minerals from the ground, they are digested, making them ionic or electrical by nature.  This make it easier for the body to assimilate and use the minerals at a cellular level.  Subsequently, they are not stored or deposited somewhere else in the body.  Trace minerals in their inorganic form are not easy for the body to use.  They are stored in the tissues and eventually large amounts build up and become extremely toxic.

In the late 1980’s an interesting experiment was conducted by Gary Price Todd, MD, author of the book Nutrition, Health and Disease.  The study involved individuals with heavy metal poisoning, specifically lead, mercury, cadmium and aluminium.  Patients were placed on a program of full spectrum bio-available organic, micro trace minerals.

After 16 months the study demonstrated reduced levels of toxic metals in the patients.  The concluded that organic, ionic minerals naturally chelate or remove the inorganic minerals from the body.  Furthermore, ionic minerals cannot be stored in the body for longer than a few hours, there are much like the water-soluble vitamins; therefore, they cannot build up to toxic levels in the soft tissues.   (Todd, Gary P. Unpublished Observations, The Institute of Nutritional Science Journal, June 1996, 1:1)

Another study on trace minerals and detoxification was conducted by Dr. Michael Zimmerman, Chief of Staff of the Specialized Clinic for Chronic Illnesses and Therapy Resistant Patients and Biophysicist, Dr Fritz Albert Popp in Uberlingen, Germany. They concluded that trace minerals were not toxic, but rather assisted the cells’ vital functions and enhanced detoxification as well as accelerated the healing process of chronic illness. (Popp, Fritz Albert. Bio-electronic Response of Cellular Stimulation).

Like lead, mercury and other metals, arsenic is toxic when it comes from an inorganic source. However, from an organic source it is an essential micro-mineral needed by the body in minute quantities (The Nutrition Bible, Joan Anderson and Barbara Deskins, 1995). In a recent study where, organic arsenic was given to 12 patients with leukaemia, 11 went into remission. The treatment apparently stops cancer cells from reproducing and then they self-destruct (New England Journal of Medicine, November 1998).

Patients with cancer causing tumours of the oesophagus had 100% success rate in preventing tumour progression into the cancerous state when treated for two years with a humic extract solution.
