Revitalize Your Body with Humic and Fulvic Acids - The Ultimate Detox Solution

Having a relationship with the earth and soil is crucial for maintaining good health. In the past, people were exposed to a greater variety of natural organisms and soil products (1). The fulvic acid in soil is one of those compounds that humans were regularly exposed to through their food supply and lifestyle (2). However, modern farming techniques often leave little time for fulvic acid accumulation, and many people are consuming a highly processed sanitized, diet, which can lead to deficiencies in key nutrients and a weakened immune system. (3,4)

Why We Must Establish a Healthy Relationship with the Earth

Exposure to natural soil products like fulvic acid has numerous health benefits, including improved digestion, nutrient absorption, gut health, immunity, cognitive functioning, energy levels, protection from infections, skin health, and reduction of aging. By spending time outside and getting our hands in the soil, we can increase our exposure to these beneficial organisms and improve our overall health. (5)


Studies have shown that even short periods of exposure to natural environments can improve mood and reduce stress levels. Therefore, it is important to find ways to connect with nature, whether that means gardening, hiking, or simply taking a walk outside. By fostering a relationship with the earth, we can nourish our bodies and minds and promote long-term health and well-being (6). But with all those benefits, are there any benefits to consuming part of nature and taking in humic substances (soil components), internally?


What are Humic Fulvates?

Humic and fulvic acids are compounds that can be found naturally in soil and water. These powerful substances have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and can improve nutrient absorption and digestion. They can also act as detox shuttles that support the body in detoxing toxins and heavy metals. (7)


We may not be getting enough of those compounds due to the fact that modern-day farming depletes the soil of humic/ fulvic compounds. Many potential health benefits come with the use of fulvic acids, such as nutrient and energy boosts, immune system support, and improvement in skin health. Including organic fruits and vegetables in your diet, as well as taking supplements containing fulvic acid, are some ways to add this beneficial compound to your daily routine. (5,6)

Humic and fulvic acids are organic compounds found in soil, sediment, and water that are formed through the interaction between soil bacteria and the decomposition of plant and animal matter

Fulvic acid is a type of humic substance that is smaller in weight, making it easily absorbable by plants and animals

Fulvic acid supports both plant growth and human health by bringing in the needed nutrients and helping the body get rid of toxins and heavy metals

How do Humic Fulvates Work in Nature and in the Body

Humic acid and fulvic acids bind with ions and create tight humic colloids that facilitate detoxification and nutrient transfer. One of the most important functions of humic acids is acting as natural chelators to regulate the bioavailability of metal ions like iron and trace minerals. This means that they help to bind these metal ions and make them more easily absorbable by plants and animals. (8)


When it comes to agriculture, fulvic acid can enhance the absorption of minerals in plants, leading to better crop yields. Additionally, fulvic acid has been used as a dietary supplement for humans, as it is believed to improve mineral absorption and overall health. (9)


Clinical studies demonstrate that humic and fulvic acid can act as iron support agents as they help facilitate the absorption of iron in anemic patients. Other studies also show an improvement in the detoxification of heavy metal ions with a beneficial effect on overall health both when taken alone or combined with detoxing prescription medications. (10)

How to Revitalize Your Body with Humic and Fulvic Acids

Digestive & Detox Benefits (4)

  • Fulvic acid helps to improve gut health and immune function by nourishing the digestive tract and supporting healthy probiotics

  • It also helps to boost digestion and nutrient absorption, providing raw nutrients and aiding in mineral transport and cell permeability

  • Humic acids are beneficial for digestion and increasing energy as they act as natural chelators, aiding in the detoxification of toxins and metals that enter the body

Anti-inflammatory Benefits (9)

  • Fulvic acid contains antioxidants that lower free radical damage and inflammation, as well as provide electrolytes with numerous functions within the body

  • Many users report improved energy levels, likely due to detoxification, lowered inflammation and higher intake of nutrients

  • Studies show that fulvic acid's electrolytes help reduce swelling and associated pain, while an electrolyte imbalance can worsen symptoms

  • There is some evidence that humic acids have antimicrobial properties that protect the skin and treat wounds or irritations caused by microbes

Why Consider Humic and Fulvic Acid Supplements?

  • Improve the absorption of trace minerals and address health concerns related to mineral deficiencies like anemia 

  • Reduce oxidative stress and sweep reactive oxygen species on a cellular level 

  • Improve brain function 

  • Detox radioactive waste in a safe way and participate in the maintenance of good health 

  • Help tissue healing and connective tissue formation in situations where wound healing needs to take place fast

  • Support liver function and detox

  • Support proper muscle function and increase tissue support 

  • Facilities healthy microbial growth and builds better probiotic colonies 

  • Make use of the unique ability of the compounds to rid the body of many toxins without many adverse effects

What to Look for In a Humic Compounds Supplement?

  • Fulvic acid- Smallest humic compound

  • High quality, clean source - Absolutely no contamination!

  • Adjunctive trace elements are also a great idea!
