The Main Uses Of 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 acid is essentially a derivative of humic substances. Humic substances are widely distributed all over the world on both land and sea. They comprise plant and animal waste that has been decomposed by millions of microbes. In order to optimize their benefits, the active ingredients have to be extracted. This should be done under controlled conditions so as to maintain the bioavailability.

The uses of the supplements continue to increase by the day. They have been established to be quite effective in the treatment of viral infections especially those believed to cause upper respiratory tract infections. Their main mechanism of action is that they inhibit the attachment and entry of viruses into normal cells and thus interfere with their replication. Consequently the viral population falls over time and the signs and symptoms of the infection subside.

Another important function is to protect cells from radioactive substances. Elements such as uranium and plutonium often damage the DNA of cells in the body and this interferes with many physiological processes in the body. The acids combine with these elements to form safe complexes that are easily absorbed and eliminated from the body. They also chelate other metallic elements and help in their removal from the body.

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 a significant effect on acid-base balance in the body. The acids maintain a pH that is neither too alkaline nor too acidic. An excessively acidic pH causes low oxygen concentration in the blood. This state is associated with an increase in the growth and fermentation of fungal organisms. A higher pH, leads to higher oxygen concentration and is less likely to cause microbial growth.

Cells tend to experience better growth in presence of these substances. This has been attributed to a reduction in surface tension around cells that subsequently causes increased absorption of nutrients. There is, in addition, better cell respiration, metabolism and excretion. Another factor that contributes to better cell homeostasis is the ability of the nutrients to maintain a constant electrochemical balance between the cells and their immediate environment.

Not all humus can provide quality fulvic acid supplement. The humus to be used must be carefully selected. The ideal type must be unpolluted, raw, pure and free of radiation. The source should have humus that has a high bioavailability. Those that are obtained from a freshwater source are more potent than those from sea water. They are easier to digest and absorb.
