A Few Answers About Humic and Fulvic Acids

What are Humic & Fulvic Acids?

Humic Acid is extracted from ancient plant matter

Humic acid comes from humates that are found in rich organic soil. Humates are fossilised plant material originating from a period which pre–dates the dinosaurs. The humic acid is extracted from compressed, ancient plant matter in the form of Leonardite, a soft brown coal. This dark powder contains dense mineral components which characterize those ancient plants. It also contains the amino acids and many of the other beneficial phytochemicals from that original plant matter. If you have ever put fertilizer on your yard, chances are it contained small amounts of humic acid. In fact, the word describing dark rich soil is humus which contains humic acid. Humic acid is absorbed by plants and helps in many ways.

Humates contain both humic and fulvic acids. Even though they are call acids, they are more like salts. Fulvic acid is derived from humic acid. It contains minerals and acts as a chelator. Humic acid is a dilator, which increases the cell wall permeability. Humates contain a wide range of essential minerals and other vital nutrients necessary for human health. Together, they help the body absorb necessary nutrients and expel waste and toxins.

Humic acid is an excellent anti–oxidant and is a complex organic molecule. Humic and fulvic acids together contain a wide variety of trace minerals.

What is Humic Complex?

Humic Complex is a special combination of humic and fulvic acids that have been selected for human consumption. It has been tested and carefully chosen for its effectiveness for human health. All ingredients used by EmPower4Health are manufactured and produced according to FDA GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) for the Nutraceutical industry.

Not all humic acids are alike. Just as there are many types of soil, there are many types and qualities of humic acid. Some humic acid is best for agriculture useage, and others types have a chemical composition better suited for industrial uses.

While there are many sources of humic, the humic acid contained in EmPower4Health products is mined in the United States and has been carefully chosen for it’s effectiveness in building human health. Humic Complex comes from prehistoric organic matter that is thousands of years old and provides a rich, complex combination of minerals and amino acids that provide premium benefits.

How does it help the body?

Humic acid has been used for hundreds of years, by cultures around the globe, for a wide variety of traditional remedies. Humic acid helps the body in several ways at the cellular level including:

Providing trace minerals
Dilating the cell walls which helps to absorb water, oxygen, nutriants and release toxins
Surrounding viruses so that they cannot reproduce
Alerting the immune system to the presence of viruses so they may be removed.
