Fulvic acid is a super-nutrient that literally comes from the dirt.
Fulvic Acid speeds up the absorption of Vitamins and trace minerals, which are needed to keep our immune systems in check
Fulvic Acid is capable of binding to pollutants, chemical pesticides, and mercury
Cellular cleansing agent
Binds to free radicals
Fulvic Acid is even capable of tackling radioactive particles
The most powerful natural electrolyte
Essentially organic foods will have the highest concentration of fulvic acid
Support our mitochondria due to its ability to penetrate into the cell, deliver nutrients and potentially stimulate a biological clean-up.
Fulvic Acid is able to boost energy levels in multiple ways, all of which involve the mitochondria.
Fulvic Acid plays an intimate role in protecting our mitochondria from damage
Fulvic acid in a test tube was able to dissolve proteins that are known to clump or harden up with age and interfere with nerve signaling in the brain.
Our ancestors used to consume ultra trace amounts of fulvic acid on a daily basis in the form of organic produce - which, unbeknownst to them, would enhance the way they absorbed dietary nutrients.
Unfortunately, poor modern farming practices such as pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and erosion, have encouraged the Earth's soils to suffer from both from severe mineral depletion and a loss of healthy bacterial diversity.
Investigation revealed that factory workers - who were continuously exposed to heavy metals benefited immensely by supplementing with Shilajit or Fulvic Acid on a daily basis
Shilajit is a multi-component natural occurring mineral substance used in Ayurveda and Siddha systems of medicine which originated in India and is capable of drawing out and chelating heavy metals and other toxins
Humin consists of the largest sized particles which gives it the highest molecular weight, absolutely no water solubility and as a result, makes it highly resistant to microbial decomposition or to being absorbed by plants. Humins have the highest carbon content out of the three, yet maintain the lowest oxygen content. They take the longest time to break down.
Humic Acid sits in between humin and fulvic acid in terms of particle size and molecular weight. Smaller particle sizes and the fact that humic acid is water soluble in any pH above 2 makes it easier for soil microbes to break it down into bare elemental ions. This in turn greatly enhances the absorption of any nutrients that humic acid holds, both for plants and animals. Humic acid can be produced at slightly higher temperatures than fulvic acid and under drier conditions.
Fulvic Acid is the fraction of humus that contains the smallest size of particles and thus has the lowest molecular weight. The particles fulvic acid is made from are all elemental ions, the basic building blocks of all matter. It is water soluble in any pH and offers ionic trace minerals that are both electrically charged and small enough to pass through any cell wall with great ease. Natural fulvic acid maintains the lowest carbon content as well as the highest oxygen and trace mineral contents. Mild temperatures and large amounts of moisture are needed for fulvic acid to form in the soil.
Gut Health:
Improves the gut flora, nutrient absorption, and heal adverse disorders related to the gut.
Fulvic increases the activity of digestive enzymes like lysozyme, proteases, and acid/alkaline phosphatases.
Fulvic increases an optimal environment for your probiotic bacteria to flourish
Your gut produces many vital nutrients by feeding off what we eat, making everything from fatty acids to neurotransmitters like Serotonin.
Oxidant Capabilities: shown to increase oxidative markers like hydrogen peroxide and nitric oxide and induce apoptosis in hepatic cancer cell lines.
Antioxidant Capabilities: 300 mg/kg/day for 4 weeks decreases lipid peroxidation and myocardial damage markers, after 60 days, a decrease in lipid peroxidation and an increase in the expression of SOD, CAT, and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) are seen. shown to increase absorption of nutrients.
Blood glucose and type two diabetes: Shilajit, which contains Fulvic acid, has been shown to reduce hyperglycaemia in diabetic rats and increase SOD activity in pancreatic beta cells.
Fulvic acid can act as an immune modulator, influence the redox state, and potentially affect gut health.
Fulvic acid is shown to decrease proinflammatory markers (C reative Protein CrP) but also activate the immune system to kill bacteria.
It is shown to reduce oxidative stress and even induce apoptosis in hepatic cancer lines.
Fulvic acid is shown to also influence the microbiome and possibly improve gut function.
Fulvic acid appears to have a yin-yang effect when it comes to these physiological states.
