Benefits of Humic and Fulvic Acid

In this article, we discuss the health benefits of humic and fulvic acid, and why you should consume them.

What is Humic and Fulvic Acid

 

Fascinatingly, humic acid is the byproduct of an 80 million-year-old geological process. Humification happens when the right combination of organic matter combines with certain geological conditions, such as pressure and temperature. Humates form as ancient seaweed, plants, vegetation, and fruit trees compress over time, leaving us with a mineral-rich humic acid shown to benefit human health drastically.

 

Humic and Fulvic Mineral Benefits

 

It is often considered the ultimate “nutrient booster”. We can benefit from fulvic acid when we take it as a supplement or acquire it naturally from coming into contact with dirt/soil outdoors. How? As an active chemical compound, fulvic acid works in a way that helps us absorb and use other nutrients better — such as microbiota/probiotics, antioxidants, fatty acids and minerals.

 

It is able to improve how our cells take up things like antioxidants and electrolytes. Fulvic acid has become popular for slowing down aging, improving digestive health and protecting brain function. Due to its unique chemical structure, it’s able to fight free radical damage that contributes to the process of aging and nearly every chronic disease. 

 

Research shows that it will improve the protection of the body against diseases. Animal studies suggest that fulvic minerals can enhance disease resistance and immune protection, combat inflammation and improve antioxidant function, all in order to improve your wellbeing.

 

Best fulvic and humic acid supplements are both essential for healthy plants. Humic acid and fulvic acids are both humic substances (along with humin). However, a few important variations that influence the advantages and application of each one of them. The fulvic acid mineral supplement helps boost immunity and reduce inflammation.

Scientific Studies On Humic And Fulvic Acid

 

In 2002, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) published a report titled “Broad Spectrum Antiviral Effectiveness of Humates”. The NIH studied Humic Acid’s virus-fighting properties for viral diseases such as gastroenteritis, influenza, herpes, chickenpox, mononucleosis and hemorrhaging fevers caused by Ebola Hantaviruses.

 

Results showed that Humic Acid, when consumed before the virus invaded the body, effectively prevented disease. Tests performed against multiple virus types further confirmed Humic Acids broad anti-viral properties. Toxicity tests showed that Humic Acid bound itself to human cells but was not itself toxic, nor did it inhibit or interfere with cell development or reproduction.

 

Our bodies already intrinsically know how to assimilate minerals. In the modern world, we are literally starved for them. The body needs to consume them, and thankfully we now know that’s possible with Humic Acid.

Review of Liquid Fulvic Acid Lawn & Garden Biostimulant, Premium Soil Nutrient Chelator - 1L

Seed Germination

I have tried the fulvic acid on seed germination with fantastic results. Soaked Adenium seeds overnight in diluted fulvic acid.. the results were amazing, once the seeds were planted they germinated a lot quicker than normal with nearly 100 % germination. Very happy with this product and can totally recommend to others.

I’m really impressed with Plant Doctor's PREMIUM Fossil Shell Flour. The powder is finely milled, so smooth it mixes easily into water, smoothies or morning coffee without any grittiness. It’s simple to use, and appreciate that it has no taste or smell. The 800g bag is great value and will last a long time when using a teaspoon daily. Have observed improvements in my digestion and energy levels, and general skin feel too. Delivery was super quick, and the packaging is resealable and well-labeled.
