Don't be deceived and fooled by false and deceptive marketing efforts on behalf of a company attempting to market its product. The answer here lies with common sense.

As explained in more detail at FAQ number 8 below, there is no standardized method for testing for fulvic acid content. If samples of fulvic acid, all from the same batch, were shipped to 10 different labs for testing, depending on the type and concentration of the testing extractant, varying amounts (percentages-concentrations) of fulvic acids will be measured by each lab, that is, each lab would determine a different percentage of fulvic acid concentration, moreover, the range of fulvic acid concentration results can vary significantly, anywhere from less than 1% up to 40% or more – depending on the lab's testing protocol. By way of hypothetical example, if we had a bottle of fulvic solution that had a fulvic acid concentration of six percent(6%), then, doing the mathematics, 200 x 6% = 1,200% - which EXCEEDS the maximum obtainable of 100 percent! As proved by the example, the claim "200 times the strength..." is a mathematical impossibility and defies the laws of physics. The maximum concentration you could have is 100%, but, at 100% it would have to be PURE fulvic acid powder, no water, no anything else, which, to our knowledge, at this present point in time does not exist.

Quite simply, in our opinion, as reasoned by the mathematical example above, the claim is baseless and deceptive. [Read FAQ number 8 below which addresses fulvic acid concentration.]

FACT To date, thousands of gallons of fulvic acid products have been sold in FDA approved food grade plastic bottles providing remarkable results to the users. We, and others have done diligent research and have not been able to find one scientific report proving or even suggesting that fulvic acid in plastic bottles is ineffective. Representatives of companies who make untrue and misleading statements about their competitors products should examine the facts and discontinue such unethical and illegal marketing practices attempting to influence the public not to buy their competitors products. If a company had effective high quality products, then why would the company have to resort to continually running negative advertising campaigns denigrating other companies products? Our opinion is: The negative campaigns are based on FEAR - because the products are not as good as advertised, which causes some companies to go to just about any length to pursuade [potential] customers not to buy the competitors products. When a company sells good quality effective products there is confidence, not fear. Request the scientific proof backing up any suspect negative claims.

MYTH Fulvic acid in plastic bottles is toxic.

FACT Again, we and others have done diligent research and have not been able to find one actual bona fide scientific report listing any type of toxin found in fulvic acid that was stored in any type of plastic bottle. Our conclusion and position is... "no scientific report exists identifying any type of toxins leached from plastic into the fulvic".

Continuing our response, we would like you to know that we, our families and many of our friends all consume fulvic acid stored in High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) plastic bottles getting fabulous results with NO adverse affects. We have not seen nor are we aware of any actual lab report proving that fulvic acid or humic acid stored in High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) or Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) plastic bottles are either "toxic" or "ineffective". Actually, the results we have seen both first-hand and continue to receive by email and telephone from MANY satisfied customers indicate and support just the opposite.

We are aware of information presented at various web sites attacking the use of all types of plastics (green movement perhaps?). One web site in particular that was brought to our attention specifically states that fulvic acid in plastic bottles is "ineffective" and "toxic" but fails to present any legitimate proof supporting the disparaging and slanderous allegations. In fact, none of the web sites that we visited provide any legitimate proof (such as a photocopy of a legitimate independant lab report) proving such allegations. The fact that such claims are presented WITHOUT providing documentary evidence supporting such claims is very disturbing to us as well as many other distributors of fulvic products.

For years, thousands of people have been using fulvic acid and fulvic acid products and reporting absolutely amazing positive results from the use thereof. What really amazes us, and other distributors of fulvic products, is the claim that "fulvic acid in plastic can be toxic" or "ineffective" without providing any legitimate proof - aside from simply providing links to other Web sites themselves failing to provide proof that fulvic acid in HDPE or PET bottles is toxic or ineffective.

Thousands and thousands of gallons of fulvic acid and humic acid products have been sold by various manufacturers and distributors in safe HDPE and PET plastic bottles and have provided, and continue to provide immense and profound health benefits to thousands upon thousands of people. Ourselves, our families and many of our friends, on a daily basis, consume fulvic acid and humic acid stored as well as shipped in safe HDPE and PET plastic bottles achieving fantastic health results. Feedback from thousands of customers sharing positive health reports related to their use of fulvic acid and humic acid products, in our opinion and others, contradicts such unfounded "fulvic in plastic" bashing.

Of course we want the very best quality products for ourselves, our familes AND our cherished customers. So, if anyone presents to us a legitimate independant lab report unequivocally proving that HDPE and PET are NOT safe, identifying the name and address of the independant lab, the specific type of bottle and plastic tested, the source of the bottle, the date of the test, along with all chemical toxin(s) identified, we will of course examine the presented data, our position regarding continued use of the offending plastic and instead consider offering our products in an alternative suitable glass container irrespective of the fact that along with the use of glass comes the increased shipping weight and significant breakage potential.

Your concerns and safety are what's imporant here. We sincerely encourage you to do your own research. In the process, please be sure to look for at least ONE legitimate actual independant lab report, not merely a reference to some report, but the acutal report itself, proving the aformentioned claims.

We leave the final decision to you, considering that:

"Companies or their agents who attack the use of plastics should examine the facts and discontinue unethical and charlatanistic marketing practices for their own gain".

"HDPE is safe and does not produce chemical transfer of any toxic materials."

"HDPE is so non-interactive that high heat testing with acid leaching agents in very intense lab testing produced no chemical detectability in the entire spectrum of chemicals (over 140 tests)"

Zeolite (Clinoptinolite) does not strip any minerals whatsoever from fulvic nor humic. The statement is totally false and misleading.

Fulvic acids ("FA") are the smaller lighter molecules of "humic acids". Fulvic acid (fulvic acids) are in fact humic acids, the tiniest of the molecules of humic acids. According to professor Dmitry Orlov, a world-renowned Russian specialist of Soil Sciences, fulvic acids are a part of, and are very closely related-to humic acids, they are NOT independent fractures.

Isolating the smaller lighter humic molecules (creating "Fulvic Acid")
During the extraction (separation) process (called "hydrolysis") the larger heavier humic molecules will fall out of suspension ("precipitate") settling at the bottom of a humic solution, the lighter, lower molecular weight molecules will stay in the upper level of the solution. This upper (or top) layer of solution containing the smaller lighter weight humic molecules is typically siphoned off and referred to as "fulvic acid".

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.

As created by nature
The very small, low molecular weight humic components ("fulvic acids") are originally created by soil-based micro-organisms("SBO's") which, in turn, make minerals and other nutrients assimilable by plants. Millions of years ago (and today) SBO's consume the decayed plant organic matter in the humate deposits and the organisms subsequently excrete a waste material (digested decayed plant organic matter) back into the earthy material. The cycle continues over and over, on and on - nature's own natural chelation process.

The complex photosynthetic reactions - produced in all plants - produce the nutritional components needed for all the various parts of the plants. Muco-polysaccharides (a class of carbohydryates such as starches and cellulose) flow throughout the plant as nourishment and some of this is returned to the roots where the soil-based micro-organisms are re-nourished to produce (excrete) additional digested humic components which combines with minerals and other nutrients in the soil to continue the cycle.

Fulvic acids are a biologically active mixture of weak aliphatic* and aromatic organic acids which are soluble in water and all pH conditions (acidic, neutral, and alkaline). As described above at question number one, fulvic acids are the smaller and lighter weight (molecular weight) parts of humic acids having molecular weights which range from approximately 1,500 or less".

*Aliphatic means: "Of, relating to, or being a group of organic chemical compounds in which the carbon atoms are linked in open chains." (Read the "Fulvic Acid Report" at this web site for a detailed explanation of what fulvic acid is.)

Humic acids are a class of compounds, the result of decomposed organic matter (soil humus), plants in part, that are soluble in alkaline solution, but insoluble in acid solution, and are natural components found in drinking water, soil and lignite*. Humic acids are three dimensional macrocolloidal molecules with a polyaromatic center containing isocyclic and heterocyclic structures and peripheral side-chains.

Humic acids contain a vast array of naturally occuring bio-chemicals, including, but not limited to, supercharged antioxidants, free-radical scavengers, super oxide dismutases ("SOD"), nutrients, enzymes, hormones, amino acids, natural antibiotics, natural antivirals, and natural fungicides.

*Lignite is a soft, brownish-black substance in which the natural decomposition process of vegetable matter has proceeded further than that of peat but not as far as bituminous coal. (Read the "Fulvic Acid Report" at this web site for a more detailed explanation.)

Supreme Fulvic & Humic Mineral Complex™ is a liquid nutritional supplement formulated with a proprietary blend of nutritionally rich humic components (fulvic acids and humic acids) that contain a vast array of naturally occuring bio-chemicals, supercharged antioxidants, free-radical scavengers, super oxide dismutases ("SOD"), nutrients, enzymes, hormones, amino acids, natural antibiotics, natural antivirals, and natural fungicides.

The humic components used in the product are derived from the earth's richest ancient humate deposit which is located in New Mexico. This humate deposit is considered to be the richest fresh water humate deposit on earth. The humic components used in Supreme Fulvic & Humic Mineral Complex™ are extracted from this premium 100% organic-based prehistoric humate deposit with the use of non-chlorinated reverse osmosis deionized carbon-filtered water.
This prehistoric humate deposit is as natural as mother earth created over the past 40 million years. No acid, heat, or pressure extrusion is used during the extraction process.

No added coloring, flavoring, preservatives, or sweetener of any kind.

Supreme Fulvic™ is a "Fulvic" solution. Supreme Fulvic™ contains only the *smaller* fractions ("fulvic acids") of the humic components (as described above under FAQ "What are Fulvic Acids"), whereas Supreme Fulvic & Humic Mineral Complex™ is much richer in the humic nutritional components supplying both the smaller AND larger fractions of the humic components, thus yielding a solution MUCH RICHER in vital nutritional elements.

Before giving you the answer to that question we would like to say that we do not believe anyone should be impressed by the statement "100% fulvic in solution". If a solution contains ANY amount whatsoever of fulvic the "fulvic" in that solution will always be 100%, for example, if you drop a tiny marble into a bottle of water you could ethically and honestly say "100% marble in solution" even though that marble is a tiny little marble. The point is, the *marble* is 100%.

Now, the real question is, if the volume of solution is 32 fluid ounces, how many ounces of those 32 ounces are actually fulvic! Get the point? Good. Now, let's move on to the answer to the original question, What percentage(%) of Fulvic acid is in each bottle of Supreme Fulvic & Humic Mineral Complex™? The fact is...there is no universal standard for measuring fulvic acid content. It has been proven time and time again that, by changing the type of testing extractant or the concentration of the testing extractant, varying amounts (percentages) of fulvic acids will be measured from the same sample. In other-words, if ten samples of fulvic acid are sent to ten different independant laboratories for analysis, and each of the ten samples are taken from the same exact source, the results will vary from lab to lab. One lab may issue a test report indicating 8% percent fulvic acids, another lab may indicate 40%, another may report 15%, and another may report 1%, and so forth. Basically, unless all labs use the same exact testing procedure the results are almost meaningless.
Note: The foregoing is applicable whether the humic product is a liquid, powder or other form of solid product, regardless in which country it is tested in.

In our opinion, the most important fact to consider is the *nutritional quality* of the humic material from which the product is derived.

You may experiment if you desire. However, do not take it directly with medications! Fulvic is a potentiator, that is, it causes whatever substance you are taking with it to penetrate into the cells more easily.

The following ingredients are all naturally occuring: over 72 minerals, 10 vitamins (identified so far, testing for more is still under way), including vast array of phytochemicals, biochemicals, supercharged antioxidants, free-radical scavengers, superoxide dismutases, nutrients, enzymes, natural hormones, amino acids, natural antibiotics, natural antivirals, and natural fungicides.
No coloring, flavoring, preservatives, or sweetener added.

• Supreme Fulvic & Humic Mineral Complex™ should be kept away from direct sunlight and stored at room temperature. It does not need to be refrigerated.

Yes. Do not take Supreme Fulvic & Humic Mineral Complex™ at the exact same time you take any medications. In other-words, do not directly *combine* Supreme Fulvic & Humic Mineral Complex™ with any medication that you are taking. Keep in mind the fact that Fulvic (a humic fraction) is a potentiator, increasing the ability of the cells of the body to absorb any substances consumed along with the fulvic, thus making such substance more potent, which in turn may lead to over-medicating or over-dosing. It is our opinion that humic/fulvic products be consumed at least 1-hour BEFORE taking any medication (oral as well as injectable).

Also, do not mix our product (or any humic product) with any fluids that contain CHLORINE.
Mixing humic (and other natural organic substances originating from foods - including fruits, soy, green or black tea) with water that is CHLORINATED is known to create harmful compounds referred to and abbreviated as "MX" - which is representative of the term "unknown mutagen", which are similar to trihalomethanes ("THM"s).

One of the benefits of Supreme Fulvic & Humic Mineral Complex™ 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 diarrahea, mild joint aches, flu-like symptoms, pleghm, 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 biggest 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 pleasureable, 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.

Unless your doctor prohibits taking Supreme Fulvic & Humic Mineral Complex™, yes. Supreme Fulvic & Humic Mineral Complex™ helps strengthen the immune system, it is also known for its abilities to support the body in detoxification, removal of heavy metals, and reducing harmful side-effects of radiation treatment. Fulvic minerals were used by the Ukrainian government in helping workers clean the Chernobyl disaster area. If you are on chemotherapy or receiving radiation treatments remember to consult with your doctor before taking Supreme Fulvic & Humic Mineral Complex™. Keep in mind that many doctors have no knowledge about fulvic minerals. 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 Supreme Fulvic & Humic Mineral Complex™ themselves as well as providing it to their patients with good results.

We believe “YES”! (unless your doctor specifically says otherwise).
Supreme Fulvic & Humic Mineral Complex™ contains minerals, amino acids, and other nutritional elements that are needed and used by the body to cleanse, neutralize, and remove toxins, strengthen and supercharge the immune system, super-oxygenate the blood, maintain optimum alkalinity & pH levels, balance cell life, and more, which aids the body's ability to heal itself.

We believe "YES"! (unless your doctor specifically says otherwise).
The presence of absorbable "tryptophan"(amino acid) in Supreme Fulvic & Humic Mineral Complex™ is believed to be a contributing factor necessary in rebuilding Type-B cells in the pancreas. Type-B cells are known to be responsible for managing insulin production in our bodies. We have many customers that had been diagnosed with diabetes. These very same customers are very satisfied with Supreme Fulvic & Humic Mineral Complex™.

We believe "YES"! (unless your doctor specifically says otherwise).
We have customers who have taken Supreme Fulvic & Humic Mineral Complex™ and state that they "no longer have asthma".

Yes, but only use a sturdy food-grade-plastic, or glass container. Do not introduce metal to the product at any time.

Yes. In addition, if you consume foods rich in iron or consume a quality iron supplement, Supreme Fulvic & Humic Mineral Complex™ will potentiate (make more utilizable by the body) the iron in the foods and supplements.

Everyone is different. Some people notice results within a few hours, for other people it may take several days to a few weeks or even longer, depending on various factors of course. Use of Supreme Fulvic & Humic Mineral Complex™ on a daily basis will provide the body with vital nutritional elements (nature's building blocks) that the body will use for repair and regeneration of itself.

Be patient! Remember "Rome wasn't built in a day!"

Yes. Just add 1 tablespoon per gallon of UNCHLORINATED water which will nourish and help provide the highest quality plant, flowers and vegetables.

Yes. Add 1 tablespoon to the pets UNCHLORINATED water bowl. IMPORTANT! The pet's water must not contain any chlorine. Chlorine and Fulvic produce trihalomethanes (THM) which are toxic. CHLORINE is the culprit.
