Considered second to none, Supreme Fulvic & Humic Mineral Complex™ is a unique, patent-pending
humic-acid complex of extremely bioavailable, full spectrum, organic plant-source nutrients in a humic-acid fulvic-acid base formulated specifically for human consumption. Supreme Fulvic & Humic Mineral Complex™ contains a super-rich complex of 100% organic-based humic acids and fulvic acids derived from a prehistoric fresh water humate deposit (in northwest New Mexico) having one of the highest percentages of extremely low molecular-weight humic substances (fulvic acids) in the world. (The only other deposit known to have such low molecular weight humate is said to be located in East Siberia, Russia. Diligent worldwide research performed by Chinese scientists have established this fact.)
Two key features of the product are: 1) the product contains a full spectrum of organic minerals, amino acids and a vast array of other naturally occurring vital organic nutrients, and 2) the nutrients are extremely bio-available – meaning, the nutrients are absorbed by the body extremely easy. The reason the nutrients are so easily absorbed is because they have a natural negative(–) electromagnetic charge and the intestinal wall has a positively(+)
charged electrochemical gradient. Remember, regarding magnetic poles, opposite magnetic poles (N/S) are attracted
to each other, and identical magnetic poles(N/N or S/S) repel
each other. So, because the product nutrients have a natural negative electromagnetic charge they are attracted to the intestinal wall which has a positively charged electrochemical gradient.
Supreme Fulvic & Humic Mineral Complex™ contains a vast array of naturally occurring negatively-charged bio-chemicals, supercharged antioxidants, free-radical scavengers, super oxide dismutases ("SOD"), nutrients, enzymes, hormones, amino acids, natural antibiotics, natural antivirals, and natural fungicides.
No GMO's, 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.

The quality of Fulvic acid and Humic acid begins with the quality of raw material - humate.
Many different forms of humates can be found in various deposits around the world. Some humate deposits had a saltwater origin, but the richest deposits had a freshwater origin. Why are fresh-water humate deposits considered the richest and best? Because they contain the lowest molecular weight humic substances. Humic substances of saltwater origin have heavier molecular weights and can even be toxic.
Our fulvic acid and humic acid products are fresh-water based and are of extraordinarily low molecular weight and size. Low molecular weight humate is far superior to other humate products because cells can easily absorb and digest the nutrients and minerals.
Second to none, our source, a prehistoric fresh-water-origin humate deposit in the mountains of northwestern New Mexico, is known by scientists and other researchers worldwide to yield the highest quality fulvic acid and humic acid available in the world.
NOTE: Companies who sell fulvic mineral solutions derived from (salt-water) deposits in Southern United States (Mississippi) can not honestly claim to match, let alone exceed the superior reputation of the extremely low molecular weight humates from northwest New Mexico. Don't let yourself be deceived by deceptive marketing efforts of competitors claiming to have the purest and most concentrated fulvic acid. Insist on knowing where their source deposit is, and whether the source deposit is a fresh-water or salt-water deposit.
Our fulvic products are of the highest quality and are produced incorporating a patent pending process. Supreme Fulvic & Humic Mineral Complex is a unique, effective, patent-pending formulation extremely rich in 100% organic plant-derived minerals, amino acids, and a vast array of other nano and angstrom-sized nutrients ready for immediate cellular uptake.

The below article authored by Dr. William J. Saccoman explains the difference between "organic"
plant-derived trace minerals and "inorganic" metallic (potentially toxic) trace minerals.
There is a reason trace minerals are called trace minerals – the body [needs] them in [trace] amounts. The next time you see the elements "aluminum", "arsenic" and "lead" listed on the label of a product find out whether or not they come from an organic plant source or inorganic metallic source. If the source is inorganic (like the minerals found in most tap water) you should be concerned, however, if the source is organic be assured that the elements are organic plant-derived, essential and 100% safe.

Lead, Arsenic, Aluminum and Mercury… Vital Trace Elements or Toxic Poisons?
Did you know that an apple contains 3-5 mg of aluminum and trace amounts of lead, arsenic and mercury? Micro or trace minerals are essential for good health if they come from an organic or plant source. In contrast, if they come from an inorganic or metallic source, such as heavy metals, they are toxic. For example, iodine in an organic form is necessary for health. Non-organic or metallic iodine in the same amount can kill you.
Why are people frightened of these trace minerals? The reason is well understood.
There have been numerous deaths and birth defects caused by heavy metal poisoning from metals such as lead. People have used arsenic as a poison and pesticide for centuries. The news is filled with grim reports about these substances. However, little is said about the all-critical source. Is it organic or inorganic?
Organic trace minerals are not deposited in the body like inorganic forms of these elements. Research shows that organic plant-derived trace minerals will actually replace the heavy metals deposited in the body. The heavy metals are then flushed from the body.
There is a huge difference between an organic and an inorganic mineral. Once a plant source utilizes minerals from the ground, they are digested, making them ionic or electrical in nature. This makes it easier for the body to assimilate and use the minerals at a cellular level. Subsequently, they are not stored or deposited somewhere else in the body. Trace minerals in their inorganic form are not easy for the body to use. They are stored in the tissues and eventually large amounts build up and become extremely toxic.
In the late 1980s an interesting experiment was conducted by Gary Price Todd, MD, author of the book Nutrition, Health and Disease. The study involved individuals with heavy metal poisoning, specifically lead, mercury, cadmium and aluminum. Patients were placed on a program of full
spectrum bio-available organic, micro trace minerals.
After 16 months the study demonstrated reduced levels of toxic metals in the patients. They concluded that organic, ionic minerals naturally chelate or remove the inorganic minerals from the body. Furthermore, ionic minerals cannot be stored in the body for longer than a few hours, they are much like the water soluble vitamins; therefore they cannot build up to toxic levels in the soft tissues. (Todd, Gary P. Unpublished Observations, The Institute of Nutritional Science Journal, June 1996, 1:1).
Another study on trace minerals and detoxification was conducted by Dr. Michael Zimmerman, Chief of Staff of the Specialized Clinic for Chronic Illnesses and Therapy Resistant Patients and Biophysicist, Dr. Fritz Albert Popp in Uberlingen, Germany. They concluded that trace minerals were not toxic, but rather assisted the cells’ vital functions and enhanced detoxification as well as accelerated the healing process of chronic illness. (Popp, Fritz Albert. Bio-electronic Response of Cellular Stimulation).
Like lead, mercury and other metals, arsenic is toxic when it comes from an inorganic source. However, from an organic source it is an essential micro-mineral needed by the body in minute quantities (The Nutrition Bible, Joan Anderson and Barbara Deskins, 1995). In a recent study where organic arsenic was given to 12 patients with leukemia, 11 went into remission. The treatment apparently stops cancer cells from reproducing and then they self-destruct (New England Journal of Medicine, November 1998).

Fulvic acids ("FA") are the smallest, lightest molecular weight fractions of "humic acids". Fulvic acid
(fulvic acids) are in fact humic acids, but they are the tiniest fractions. 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 components (fractions) is typically siphoned off and commonly 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 carbohydrates 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.)
Back to top
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 occurring 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.)

ANSWER 6 below, the question to ask is: At what specific size or
molecular weight can a fraction of humic acid be called "fulvic acid"? The answer is: there is no general agreement in scientific literature, nor amongst scientists, as to what size or precise molecular weight qualifies a fraction(particle) of humic acid to be called "fulvic acid". The truth is, depending upon the particular method of analysis used, fulvic acid molecule weights range anywhere from a low of approximately 250 Daltons to a high of about 12,500 Daltons. Generally, a molecular weight of 1000 Daltons corresponds to a particle size/length equal to approximately 1 nanometer. Therefore, molecular weights ranging from 250 Daltons to 12,500 Daltons can be converted to: 0.25 to 12.5 nanometers. (One nanometer equals one billionth of an inch in length)
If samples of fulvic acid were all from the same batch, and were shipped to 10 different labs for testing, depending on the particular method of analysis used, varying amounts concentrations of fulvic acids will be determined by each lab. Each lab may use a different molecular weight of the molecular weight-range as the "fulvic acid" qualifier weight. Thus, 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 procedure and method of analysis.
Conclusion: In order to fairly and accurately compare fulvic acid concentrations between companies all would have to use the same testing facility, otherwise concentration claims are useless.

Zeolite (Clinoptinolite) does not strip any minerals whatsoever from fulvic nor humic. The statement is
totally false and misleading.
Back to top
False. Polyethylene Terephthalate(PET) – #1 printed on bottle bottom, and High Density Polyethylene
(HDPE) – #2 on bottle bottom, are FDA approved and have been proven to be safe. PET does not contain plasticizers. "Plasticizers" are added to make plastics soft or flexible. For example, semi-rigid plastic like polyvinyl chloride (PVC or vinyl) typically contains about 10% by weight of plasticizers and is very soft, polyvinyl chloride tubing may contain as much as 80%. Under the right circumstances plasticizers can migrate out of certain plastics.
The International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI) – a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the scientific understanding of issues related to nutrition, food safety, toxicology, risk assessment and the environment – has comprehensively reviewed the scientific and technological aspects of PET.
In a report on PET for food packaging applications issued in July of 2000, ILSI summarizes the large body of test data that demonstrates the safety of PET resins and compounds for food and beverage containers:
"PET itself is biologically inert if ingested, is dermally safe during handling and is not a hazard if inhaled. No evidence of toxicity has been detected in feeding studies using animals. Negative results from Ames tests and studies into unscheduled DNA synthesis indicate that PET is not genotoxic. Similar studies conducted with monomers and typical PET intermediates also indicate that these materials are essentially nontoxic and pose no threats to human health... It is important to stress that the chemistry of compounds that are used to manufacture PET shows no evidence of oestrogenic activity. There is a significant body of evidence that demonstrates that the use of PET is not a concern and is perfectly safe in this respect."
We are aware of information presented at various web sites attacking the use of all types of plastics. 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 independent 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.
Your concerns and safety are what's important here. We sincerely encourage you to do your own research. In the process, please be sure to look for at least ONE legitimate actual independent lab report, not merely a reference to some report, but the actual report itself, proving the aforementioned 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".
PET and "HDPE is safe and does not produce chemical transfer of any toxic materials."
PET and "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)"

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%.
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 independent 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.
Back to top
No. The product should be consumed by itself, at least 15-minutes to ½ hour away from food and/or
other nutritional supplements. CAUTION! Do not take it directly with medications! Fulvic reduces the surface tension of cell membranes allowing whatever substance/s you are taking with the fulvic to penetrate into the cells more easily.
Supreme Fulvic™ and Supreme Fulvic & Humic Mineral Complex™ may be stored at room
temperature. Refrigeration is not required. DO NOT FREEZE!
Back to top
Yes. Do not take the product/s 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 diarrhea, 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 most common 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 pleasurable, 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.
Back to top
YES! Unless your doctor specifically prohibits you from taking Supreme Fulvic™ and/or Supreme
Fulvic & Humic Mineral Complex™. Supreme Fulvic™, especially Supreme Fulvic & Humic Mineral Complex™ significantly helps strengthen the immune system. Fulvic and Humic are also known for their abilities to support the body in detoxification, removal of heavy metals, and reducing harmful side-effects of radiation treatment. If you are on chemotherapy or receiving radiation treatments remember to consult with your doctor before taking Supreme Fulvic™ and/or Supreme Fulvic & Humic Mineral Complex™. Keep in mind that many doctors have no knowledge at all about fulvic or humic. 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.

Yes, but only use a sturdy food-grade-plastic, stainless steel, or glass container. Do not put the
product into a container of any other type of material.
Back to top
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.
Back to top
Of course 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™ and/or 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 cells.
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.
Back to top
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.
