The top 10 benefits of fulvic acid

Alkalising effect

Fulvic acid has a general alkalising effect that helps restore a healthy body pH balance. It prevents long-term illnesses and protects against fungal and bacterial infections. Due to changes in our environment, natural sources of fulvic acid are becoming less available and it is worth supplementing it as it has a variety of beneficial properties.

Fulvic acid supports mental health

It helps to maintain mental health. According to a study, it’s antioxidant and medicinal properties help protect cognitive health against diseases that can threaten it, such as Alzheimer’s disease.

Fulvic acid detoxifies the body

Because of its detoxifying properties, it is beneficial for healthy digestion and boosting energy levels. As a form of natural chelation therapy, it can neutralise toxins and heavy metals that enter the body from the air, plumbing, medicines, air pollution or household products.

Anti-inflammatory effect

It reduces damage caused by free radicals and inflammation. We all have free radicals in our bodies, and normal levels of these ensure protection against various infections, proper hormone balance and energy production. However, too many of them can accelerate ageing and trigger the development of many diseases.

Through its electrolytes and other beneficial nutrients, it increases overall energy levels. It reduces pain and is particularly effective against neurological pain, headaches, bone and cartilage pain, muscular pain associated with ageing and arthritis.

Fulvic acid against fatigue

It increases the bioavailability of important nutrients such as minerals and trace elements, allowing the body to absorb and utilise them more effectively. This allows the cells to optimise their energy production, which leads to more vitality. A strengthened immune system is crucial in the fight against fatigue. It has immune-boosting properties and helps the body cope better with stress.

Immune system support

A strong immune system is essential in the fight against fatigue. The herbs in Fulvicherb have immune-boosting properties and help the body to cope better with stress.

Effects on skin and hair

It helps skin cell regeneration and faster healing of damaged skin.

Fulvic acid’s antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties make it valuable for maintaining healthy skin. In conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, it reduces inflammation, irritation, redness, and itching.

It helps the skin retain moisture, improving its elasticity and overall appearance. The substances in fulvic acid can also help detoxify the skin by removing toxins and heavy metals, enhancing skin regeneration.

The main component of shilajit is fulvic acid, and the benefits of shilajit are derived from its fulvic acid content.

Possible side effects

Some studies show that higher doses can have unpleasant side effects. These include diarrhoea, nausea, headaches, cramps and tiredness. This is because fulvic acid is a very powerful detoxifier. These side effects may be rare and short-lived at first and only occur at very high doses.

Transport molecules for minerals and trace elements

It is used as a complexing agent to ensure safe and efficient absorption of the active ingredients. (Complexing agents: active ingredients are better absorbed by the body when bound to other substances than when present alone.).

Fulvic acid is the low molecular weight form of humic acid. It is readily absorbed in the small intestine. Absorption takes place in the form of chelates and complexes. It is one of the best complexing agents for efficient arginine delivery. This is called ‘protected arginine’, also known as ‘fulvic acid-arginine complex’. As its absorption does not depend on other factors (membrane transport proteins, lysine), it is extremely efficient.

The fulvic acid-arginine complex is a precursor of nitric oxide. It helps to dilate blood vessels in the body, thus improving blood flow. It is involved in the regulation of blood sugar and insulin levels, plays a role in the regulation of respiration and improves the performance and permeability of the kidneys.
