In the beginning, the earth was blessed with rich, fertile soil and lush vegetation. The soil was teaming with microbes — bacteria, fungi, and protozoa, to name a few. In the perfect cycle of life, microbes in the soil break down dead plant material and create substances and nutrients that nourish plants. When humans eat these plants, we enjoy the nutrients that they provide.

The microbes in the soil make the hidden treasure called fulvic acid, the miracle of life. Fulvic acid is not a vitamin or a mineral and science cannot synthesize this substance in a laboratory. Our bodies require it for optimal health, but we no longer get fulvic acid in adequate amounts from our food.

While the scientific research is growing in support of fulvic acid, there are less than 1,750 studies on PubMed.gov. One needs to dig around to find fulvic studies related to human benefits, but information and clinical evidence exists. This is not “just another supplement” but a powerful, life-giving substance that is quietly disappearing from our food and this is taking a toll on human health.

Fulvic acid has been reported to rejuvenate health and bring a multitude of benefits unmatched by any other natural substance.

Fulvic acid (FA) has been used for 3,000 years as Shilajit in Indian medicine.

Carrasco-Gallardo stated, “It is likely that the curative properties attributable to shilajit are provided by the significant levels of fulvic acids that shilajit contains, considering that fulvic acid is known by its strong antioxidant actions.” [v]

Historically, it was believed Ffulvic acid/Shilajit had immune-modulating, antioxidant, diuretic, antihypertensive, and hypoglycemic benefits. [Winker][Trivadi] FA was used in diabetes, and to support the urinary, immune, digestive, cardiac, and nervous systems. [xxiv][i][ii][viii]

In Ayurveda(link is external) literature it is called “rasayana” or rejuvenator, enhancing the quality of life. [xxxviii][xv]

Benefits

Fulvic acids can be found in compost or peat, lignite (brown coal which gives inferior fulvic acid) or ancient humic deposits that come from deep within the earth. Unlike other deposits formed over time deep below the earth’s surface, like coal, oil and natural gas, humic deposits are safe, providing powerful compounds that provide an impressive number of benefits for plants, humans and animals.

Science cannot create fulvic acid

Fulvic acid offers a seemingly endless spectrum of benefits for human and animal health that would make any pharmaceutical company nervous. Fulvic acid cannot be made by man because it involves photosynthesis and humification. The process that creates fulvic acid requires nature’s recyclers, microorganisms, working in fertile, rich soil over a long period of time. Microbes decompose organic material (manure, compost, decaying plant material), in the soil to create nutrients for the plant including trace minerals, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium(link is external). Microbes make the minerals in the soil into a useful form for plants and over time the microbes help create an amazing substance called humus (hyoo-muh s).

“Essentially, all life depends upon the soil … there can be no life without soil and no soil without life”

~ Charles E. Kellogg, head of the Soil Survey in the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for 37 years (1934-1971)

We never had to worry about getting enough Fulvic acid, it simply existed in our soil and in our food, since time began. Fertile soil, and the microbial life within it, is a highly valuable natural resource critical for food security and for human health. Fertile soil is teaming with microbial life (it is interesting to note there are more bacteria in two spoonfuls of rich, fertile soil than there are humans on planet earth). Sustainable farming practices add compost and organic compounds to the soil to help create a robust microbial community. Microbes are required for the cycle of life. They work to break down plant and animal matter, and over hundreds and thousands of years, Fulvic acid is one of the end products of decomposition.

Common agricultural practices cause the loss of fulvic acid in food and the progressive deterioration of human health

Over the past 50 to 100 years, farming practices which sustained humans for thousands of years have drastically changed. Chemical fertilizers, herbicides (link is external) and pesticides (link is external) were created to increase crop yield, kill insects and control weeds. Modern agricultural practices increase the amount of food produced but the toll this has taken on soil microbes, plant nutrients and human and animal health is underappreciated.

While attempting to kill the pests and weeds and bolster plant production, the chemicals used in agriculture have inadvertently attacked friendly troops in the soil jungle.

The price of growing food this way is dramatically altering the natural recycling process required in nature, and the downstream effects on human health are mounting.

Fulvic acid may seem like “just another nutrient” which is declining in food, but it is actually the most important health-building compound because it is nature’s intended vehicle for transporting minerals and other nutrients into living cells.

Fulvic acid is nature’s answer to depleted food and too many toxins

Fulvic acid and Humic acid are the key substances found in humus, the end result of the humification process where microbes in the soil break down once living matter, usually plants. It is believed most of the health benefits attributed to Shilajit and humic substances are primarily due to the presence of Fulvic acid. [v]

Fulvic acid is a very small molecule of low molecular weight. It is smaller than Humic acid and penetrates the cell membrane and even the mitochondria. [v] Because Fulvic acid bonds easily to nutrients like vitamins and minerals, it efficiently delivers nutrients where they are needed. Without Fulvic acid our bodies’ ability to absorb nutrients (from food or supplementation) is diminished. [xxiv]

Fulvic acid’s small molecular weight coupled with the fact it is water soluble at all pH levels, makes it superior for working in the body to:

• deliver nutrients
• bring antioxidant benefits
• remove cellular waste products and toxins [xliii]

“You can trace every sickness, every disease and every ailment to a mineral deficiency.”

~ Dr. Linus Pauling, awarded two Nobel Prizes

It is well known minerals are required for a range of biochemical processes, but mineral deficiencies are epidemic. Our food lacks the vitamin and mineral content it should have and most supplements do not absorb well enough to correct mineral deficiencies. The Fulvic acid complex contains bioavailable minerals and trace elements which are desperately needed to combat widespread mineral deficiency in humans.

Fulvic acid is nature’s answer to the problem man has created with over-farming and the production of processed foods.

Fulvic acid is a magical vehicle with 60 seats

The main components of Fulvic acid are carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. These molecules in Fulvic acid easily bond to other molecules and transport them through the body. It can possess over 70 trace elements, electrolytes, polyphenols (link is external), flavonoids and essential amino acids.

Naturopathic physician, Dr. Daniel Nuzum, has been studying Fulvic acid since 1998. He has used Fulvic acid supplements with thousands of patients, and he researches and teaches extensively about Fulvic acid. Very few doctors can make this claim, and have little to no experience with Fulvic acid. Dr. Nuzum is an expert and he is able to communicate a difficult concept in a way that is easy to understand. “Fulvic acts like the FedEx truck and the garbage truck,” Dr. Nuzum explained. “It delivers nutrition into the cell and carries the trash (toxins & waste) out too!”

Fulvic acid has 60 receptor sites and because it is a carbon-based compound, it bonds easily to nutrients. Dr. Nuzum likens Fulvic acid to a 60-passenger bus carrying nutrients in each of the 60 seats. The Fulvic acid bus travels along to cells needing a nutrient package delivered. When it drops off the nutrient package, a seat is empty on the Fulvic acid bus, so it picks up cellular waste and toxins, like the garbage man, and removes them from your system.

The missing puzzle piece

Many people are feeling the effects of low nutrient absorption, even in the presence of a good diet with regular intake of supplemental vitamins and minerals. This information about Fulvic acid is the missing puzzle piece for many people seeking health. Whether you are fighting an infection, rebuilding health or desire anti-aging strategies, add Fulvic acid daily to help your body absorb and use needed nutrients.

Increase cellular voltage to increase health and energy

Fulvic acid has highly active carbon, hydrogen, molecular oxygen (available oxygen) and enables better electrolyte balance. It recharges cells allowing them to carry an electrical charge longer than normal and survive longer as a cell.

Your body must get enough electrons to keep cells at a healthy, healing voltage. While proper nutrition is a critical piece, it is not enough without voltage. This is where Fulvic acid comes in to help. Fulvic acid brings molecular oxygen into the body, increasing the oxygen concentration.

CareyLyn Carter, biochemist and researcher said in an interview, “Fulvic acid molecules act like mini-batteries, going around and charging everything it comes in contact with. It raises the voltage. When our cell’s membranes are fully charged, nutrients can get inside the cell more easily. When nutrients are inside cells they are available for biochemical processes that support our wellness.”

A closer look at Fulvic acid for skin conditions and brain health

Fulvic acid improves skin conditions

Fulvic acid has anti-inflammatory properties.

A randomized, double blind, controlled study showed Fulvic acid significantly improves inflammatory(link is external) skin conditions, like eczema(link is external) with topical use, twice daily. It has been shown to be a safe and effective theraphy for skin infections, and would be useful for humans and animals. [xiv]

It was found that Fulvic acid reduces the pH of the skin, relieves the itch and improves the appearance of the skin rash. [xiv] FA relieves inflammatory skin conditions. [xxxvii]

Fulvic acid has antimicrobial properties and is a safe and effective topical therapy for skin infections. [xxxvi] Previously studies were cited supporting the use of Fulvic acid and humic substances for wounds, rashes and fungal infections.

Fulvic acid has anti-cancer actions

Fulvic acid and the humic compounds may possibly support efforts by potential cancer chemopreventive agents [xxvii] and have been scientifically shown to induce cancer cell apoptosis. [xx]

Fulvic acid and humic substances have actions which possibly support efforts to combat certain cancer(link is external) risk factors:

• free radicals (Fulvic acid acts as an antioxidant(link is external)) [v][xliii][xxx]
• toxins and heavy metals (Fulvic acid bonds to and removes toxins and heavy metals) [xviii][vii][xxiii]
• UV Radiation (fulvic acid is a photoprotective agent) [xxiv]
• diabetes (humic substances showed hypoglycemic effects in animal studies) [xxxv]
• inflammation (Winkler and Ghosh stated in a 2018 review study “there is substantial evidence to pursue FvA (fulvic acid) research in preventing chronic inflammatory diseases, including diabetes.”) [xxxix]

Huang showed fulvic acid suppresses resistin. High levels of serum resistin are associated with several types of cancer and is thought to play a role in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC) by initiating the adhesion of colorectal cancer cells to the endothelium. FA inhibits the adhesion of CRC activated by resistin.[xvii]

Fulvic acid is neuroprotectiveand gives brain benefits

The Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease published a study in 2011 which concluded Fulvic acid “has several nutraceutical properties with potential activity to protect cognitive impairment.” Researchers showed evidence Fulvic acid inhibited the formation of intracellular tangles of tau protein, seen in Alzheimer’s disease. [ix]

Fulvic Acid Explained

How to supplement with Fulvic acid

Natural sources of Fulvic acid

As discussed, conventional food production methods are destroying microbes in the soil, therefore it is imperative to eat the highest quality, organically grown food possible to increase the Fulvic acid content and nutrient content of the food.

Organic vegetables

It is possible to get Fulvic acid from plants, provided they have been grown organically, in fertile soil, rich in humic substances. As you know from the earlier discussion on current agricultural practices, this is very difficult to find these days so most people benefit from taking Fulvic acid as a supplement.

The best organic vegetables, in terms of Fulvic acid, are the root vegetables like radishes, carrots and beets, but there is no way to know for sure you are getting adequate Fulvic acid from your diet.

Organic unsulphured blackstrap molasses from sugar cane

Another source of Fulvic acid is organic unsulphured blackstrap molasses from sugar cane. This sweetener provides a good source of minerals and fulvic acid to aid in mineral absorption.

Fulvic acid supplementation

If you are taking any medication, please consult with your healthcare provider for contraindications. While Fulvic acid is safe, there just are not enough studies on using Fulvic acid with medication.

Take Fulvic acid daily as part of your health rejuvenation regimen.

As Fulvic acid supplements are being added to the market in a variety of forms, the consumer must be aware not all Fulvic acid supplements are equally safe. Fulvic acid is available in liquid preparations or powder supplements and capsules. It is believed the liquid forms are more bioavailable.

-OMG I can not believe Humic&Fulvic really works!​

I am on my second bottle, wanted to make sure it was really helping before I said if it worked or not. I have had stomach trouble since I was 16 now 74. I was told by doctors, that I had nervous stomach, ulcers, bleeding ulcers, reflux, IBS, colitis plus a few more. Believe me I have tried everything from over counter and prescription drugs nothing helped.

I saw their ad on a site I was visiting so checked it out. I figured I would try one more time and boy am I glad I did. My stomach pain and other symptoms are gone. I forgot to take it one morning and my stomach started hurting so I went a took a spoon of it and within an hour I was OK again. So I am re-ordering. Hope it keeps on working. Don’t take my word check it for yourself. Plus I am sleeping better and do not have to get up at night so often. And my skin is looking better. I got the best comment from my 3 year old great grand daughter, she said, “Gramma, you is pretty” made my day. And no, I am not getting paid for this review.”

-Susan H, Indianna

-Looking Forward to my whole family using this

I’m a younger guy, mid 30s and I got this because I wanted to get some trace minerals. I had no idea what humic or fulvic was. This stuff has been awesome, I have noticed all sorts of differences since taking this humic stuff! The biggest outward difference has been my grody elbows that used to have rugged callouses are now smooth and normal looking!! My mood now is always positive, and during Shut downs-thats saying a lot. I feel a lot more optimistic and happy, before it was really easy to think about the negatives, now I just feel joy of being alive when I wake up. I typically only drink Reverse Osmosis filtered water and at work its bottled water too…I eat pretty healthy and lower carb. I work in an office and have a lot of stress there, but I’ve been doing better with this stuff. I sleep really well too. I am giving it to my dog now-he is older and I have noticed he doesn’t sleep as much now and he has more energy on walks! I am getting all my buddies and family to at least try this. Since experiencing the changes, I have read a lot about it being calming, hydrating and antiviral! I would not hesitate to buy it again, I think I am going to buy three this next time because I got a coupon with my purchase.​

-Adam, Florida

-Unexpected Benefits!

​”I just wanted a better night’s sleep. I was willing to give this a try after a friend told me about Humic and Fulvic Acid mainly because it was natural. I had no idea it would help me with my depression I’ve had nearly all my life. I never wanted to take meds and I learned to deal with the negative thoughts and low energy. Now I just think I was deficient in minerals or needed Humic and Fulvic Acid. I wake up feeling happy every morning, I sleep so much better than I used to and I have energy all day. I even have positive thoughts all the time and I find its hard to think negatively! I will keep taking this as long as I can feel this good! Thank you, for a great, natural product!”

​Christine A,  California

No More Nightime Bathroom Breaks!​

“I began taking this after my hysterectomy in January. I was anemic and having trouble sleeping. I was always waking up to go to the bathroom at night too. I began taking this Humic and Fulvic Trace Mineral Supplement and slept so well the first night and had 0 trips to the bathroom! I thought it was a fluke, but every day I took this supplement I slept all night.

I noticed my heart fluttering spells had stopped after a week (I was also taking iron, but that alone had not stopped my fluttering) and that my skin was softer and the fine lines and wrinkles on my face had softened!​

I could go on, but I think everyone should at least give this a try. It works wonders, better than any other supplement I have taken, No acidic taste and no side effects!

Chelsea C, Colorado

Very Pleased

I’m an older guy, almost 85 and my wife and I use canes to go out on our walks. We recently moved to a new state and the toll it has taken on our bodies with the packing and unpacking has really put us out.

I was looking for a natural way to support our health and came across this Health Supplement. Both my wife and I began taking it and over a few days of beginning with the teaspoon dose twice a day we were falling asleep easier and walking longer on our typically short outdoor walks. We have been able to get up and do more and the pain in our lower joints that makes getting around a burden is lessened. With a full dose, we should get even better! I’m glad to have anything that can increase our quality of life in our golden years!

Craving Killer!

​​”I sleep better when using this product. I don’t get sugar cravings like I always have. I need sugar sometimes, its a strong craving! I also don’t get ravenously hungry. Sometimes when I don’t have time to eat and I take a tablespoon of this and I don’t feel hungry anyone.

I sleep so well when I use this and I notice when I forget taking it.” 

Angie,  California

Better Skin, Sleep, Dreams, Energy, Stamina, Appetite Suppressent all in One bottle!

“I’m in my 60s and my Daughter gave this to me since she was taking it and experiencing good things.

When I began taking this humic fulvic mineral liquid I noticed more moisturized skin and I didn’t have to go to the bathroom at night from day one! That is typical for me, and what a benefit to sleep all night again! And sleep deeply with dreams!

 I feel more hydrated as well, is that really a feeling? I just don’t feel dried out like usual in the Utah Heat!

I think the biggest shock was how it suppressed my appetite. I’ve always liked to eat big meals, but after three of four days of beginning this Supplement, I stopped getting cravings and hunger throughout the day. I don’t need to snack and I have been losing weight more easily.  

Again, the sleeping deeper and all through the night is amazing! Its nothing like a sleeping med that gives you a heavy, groggy feeling, its a smooth, even, deep sleep. 

I notice I have more endurance too! 

This product doesn’t have sediment like another fulvic and humic supplement I have tried and Herbanomic’s brand is a lot more powerful, more concentrated. I didn’t notice as much change with that other brand’s bottle I used, so I had stopped taking it a while before I got this.”

Thank you

Lori A, Utah

…for empty RO water and getting enough electrolytes and minerals

My husband and I have city water and the taste is awful. We put in an RO unit but immediately knew we needed a trace mineral supplement as our water now had next to nothing valuable in it. We looked at many but realized they were very high in sodium or tasted really awful.

We heard about humic and fulvic trace minerals from a friend and my husband had seen an ad for this brand recently. We decided to give it a try. What an immediate improvement in our energy levels and sleep and hydration!

We don’t go a day without our Humic and fulvic liquid minerals. Herbanomic is a really good brand. There is almost no taste when added to our water and they test for harmful metals. Many other brands just say 70 or 80 trace minerals and don’t check for the bad elements like lead and mercury, why???

Once you try this stuff you will see what I’m talking about!

Here are a few things to consider when looking for a fulvic acid supplement:

• Source. It is important to know that the fulvic acid was not obtained from brown coal (lignite) or deposits from a source contaminated with heavy metals like aluminum(link is external), lead(link is external), mercury(link is external) and arsenic(link is external). Look for a product sourced from high quality humic shale.
• Extraction. Look for fulvic acid extracted with pure, distilled water (not tap water) and no harsh solvents.
• Water. Tap water containing chlorine and fluoride must never mix with Fulvic acid or any of nature’s nutrients as harmful compounds can form. Find out if your Fulvic acid provider uses tap water in their supplement preparation.
• Potency. Will the supplier provide lab-verified data about their potency.
• Preservative-free, ideally.

Fulvic acid is a natural, water soluble substance that can be combined with liquids for oral consumption and it can be used topically. Follow directions from the manufacturer of the product you choose, and consider different options for use:

• Combine Fulvic acid with other plant compounds, like spirulina(link is external) in water, to enhance the benefits.
• Add fulvic acid to a smoothie or antioxidant superfood supplement drink.
• Take fulvic acid with herbs, medicinal mushrooms or essential oils suitable for internal consumption.
• Topically, use fulvic acid in a natural healing salve recipe including plant extracts known to support the skin’s healing.

Should you add Fulvic acid to your daily health regimen?

The choice is yours. I believe we need to supplement with Fulvic acid now in order to harness the ability to get more nutrient absorption, increased detoxification and increased electrical potential.

This may be the missing puzzle piece and help explain the dramatic increase in chronic disease(link is external) that people of all ages are experiencing. The information on Fulvic acid resonated with me the first time I began hearing about it. When that happens, I cannot keep silent – for who knows whether you and I have come to this information for such a time as this.
