What is Fulvic Acid?

Fulvic acid is thought by leading natural health experts to be one of the most important "missing links" in the modern food chain. Medical agricultural research continues to conclusively identify one fact, that is, fulvic acid either directly or indirectly holds the keys and solutions to many of the world's health problems.

Fulvic acids are natural organic acids created in extremely small quantities by the process of beneficial microbes consuming decaying vegetation and other organic matter in a soil environment with adequate oxygen. Fulvic acids are the smallest, lightest molecular weight components of humic substances. Technically, fulvic acids are not acids, nor are they minerals, in fact, fulvic acids are acid chains—conglomerate molecules—with the ability to attract and hold both negatively and positively charged ions, thereby creating complex compounds rich in minerals, amino acids, enzymes and other nutritional components that the cells of plants, animals and humans can very easily absorb and use to promote vibrant health. A significant factor of fulvic acids are their ability to dissolve and complex nutrients, including metallic (inorganic) micronutrients in the soil keeping the nutrients soluble and available in a form that is extremely absorbable by the roots of plants, as well as the cells of animals and humans.

Fulvic acids have a very low molecular weight and are extremely biologically active. Depending upon the particular method of analysis used, fulvic acid molecular weights range anywhere from a low of approximately 500 Daltons to a high of about 2,000 Daltons. Because of their very low molecular weight, fulvic acids have the necessity and ability to readily bond minerals and elements into their molecular structure causing the minerals and elements to dissolve and become mobilized fulvic complexes. Fulvic acid typically contains 70 or more minerals and trace elements (and many other nutrients) as part of its molecular complexes. These complexes are in ideal natural form for absorption by plant roots and interaction with living cells. Plants readily absorb large amounts of fulvic acid and maintain them in their (the plants) structure. In fact, it has been discovered that fulvic acid complexes are absolutely essential for the health of plants. It can also be said that these fulvic acid complexes are vitally necessary for the health of animals and man.

Generally, low molecular weight substances are 100% permeable to cell membranes, and high molecular weight substances are not. Fulvic acid, in conjunction with water, has a very low molecular weight and thus, in its pure form, is 100% absorbable by living cells. Fulvic acid lowers the surface tension of water allowing the water to penetrate into other organic molecules better, and it has been shown to increase the solubility of otherwise insoluble organic materials by a minimum of 20-times (or 2,000%) greater than plain water alone. Fulvic acids react with high molecular weight organic compounds allowing the compounds to become water soluble. Fulvic acids also have the ability, over time, to chelate inorganic elements, metals and other inorganic compounds changing them into ORGANIC molecules making them low molecular weight, soluble and absorbable.

Millions of years ago soil contained an abundance of nutrients, especially minerals, trace elements, and rich humus soil teaming with beneficial microbes. Because the nutrients had not yet leached and eroded into the seas the soil was exceptionally fertile. The vegetation was very abundant and lush - as is evidenced by ancient remains that we know of today as coal and oil deposits. Other unusual formations have been discovered that geologists refer to as "humic deposits". These "humic deposits" are also derived from that ancient decayed lush vegetation. Fortunately, some humic deposits did not complete the natural process and fully turn into oil-shale or coal. These deposits are located in various areas around the world are quite rare.
