Fulvic Acid (Humic substance)

Fulvic acid (FvA) is the element found in humic substances produced by the millions of beneficial microbes in the soil. This highly nutritious compound should be abundant in our soils and, therefore, our food. Unfortunately, modern farming practices have degraded our soils, rendering them devoid of microbes, minerals and this unique FvA compound. This decline in soil health negatively influences the quality of crops and grazing animals – aka our food.

Supplementing with FvA will not only help replenish the minerals lost due to commercial farming practices but will also help to mitigate the effects of agricultural chemicals such as pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and other petrochemicals that are so commonly found in our food.

FvA is rich in minerals and other naturally occurring trace elements.

Other benefits of FvA:

• Potent Electrolyte

• Increases Nutrient Absorption and aids in nutrient transport into the cells

• Heavy Metal Binding CapacityFree radical scavenger

• Detoxifies pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and other petrochemicals

• Supports the immune system

• Increases enzymatic activity/reactions

• Improves the metabolism overall

• Improves skin conditions, including eczema and acne

• Much more

Fulvic Acid studies show that it has:

• Potent Anti-inflammatory properties: FvA can act as an anti-inflammatory by reducing the release of proinflammatory mediators from cells.

• Anti-oxidant properties to prevent Oxidative stress: Oxidative stress is described as an imbalance of highly reactive oxygen species (ROS) compared to antioxidants. FvA has been shown to sequester superoxide radicals and other ROS outside of the cell.

• The ability to support Gut Health: FvA is suggested to improve gut flora and nutrient absorption and heal adverse disorders related to the gut.

• The ability to enhance Nutrient Absorption: FvA increases the activity of digestive enzymes, including lysozyme, proteases, and acid/alkaline phosphatases.
