Advantages Of Using Fulvic Acid Supplement

By Camille Nicholson


Fulvic acid supplement has been in use for many years. The first use was probably among farmers who used them to treat various diseases and medical conditions among their livestock. They were particularly useful in the treatment of mastitis in cows, respiratory infections in dogs and other diseases in pigs and poultry. Over time, it was realised that the acids also had benefits in humans.

The supplements are derived from humic deposits that are found as deposits either on land or on the sea bed. They consist of decomposed organic plant and animal materials that have been acted upon by millions of microbes. Since the active ingredients are mixed with many other substances, there is a need to take the humus trough an extraction process to obtain the useful ingredients. This is usually done under controlled physical and chemical conditions so as to maintain the bioavailability.

The supplements are used for treatment of a number of diseases in humans. They have been established to have very potent antiviral properties. They prevent the attachment, fusion and entry of viral organisms into host cells. The effect of this is the interference with viral replication. Consequently the number of viruses released into the blood stream falls drastically and the infection resolves.

It has been shown that they are protective against damage by various radioactive substances. Their high affinity for elements such as plutonium and uranium, results in formation of complexes that are easily eliminated from the body. Failure to eliminate these substances may result in severe DNA damage. Metal deposits are also removed through formation of complexes.

The acids have also been established to have antioxidant properties. They help in the scavenging free radicals that could potentially lead to DNA damage. By pairing up with unpaired electrons and radicals, they render them unreactive. The reactions result in formation of new useful compounds or wastes that can be safely excreted. Using the same mechanisms, other toxins such as pesticides and herbicides are broken down and excreted.

There is evidence that indicates that these substances help in acid-base homeostasis. By maintaining the pH of blood at the optimum level, the amount of circulating oxygen is also maintained. Low oxygen levels associated with acidic pH contribute to increased growth and fermentation of fungi. These may lead to a number of diseases. Slightly alkaline conditions, on the other hand, hinder the growth of these organisms.

In the presence of these substances, cell growth is reported to be greatly enhanced. A reduction in surface tension between cells contributes to increase absorption of nutrients. Cell respiration, metabolism and excretion are also more efficient. Related to the same, is the ability to keep the electrochemical balance within the normal range.

One should remember that it is not all the humus that has medicinal value; only those found in particular locations have been found to have potent ingredients. In general, the humus to be used for extraction of fulvic acid supplement must be selected carefully. It must be obtained from an unpolluted environment. It should also be free of ionising radiation. Extracts from freshwater have a high bioavailability and are easier to digest and absorb.
