The “Missing Link” of Nutrition
The interest in Free-form Fulvic Acids has exploded in recent years, paving the way for extensive research. Scientists from around the world are beginning to recognize the extraordinary potential of Fulvic Acids. Referring to it as the ’Elixir of Life’ and the ’Missing Link’ of nutrition, scientists have theorized that without fulvic acid, life would not exist! Despite the fact that scientists world-wide have published thousands of papers relative to fulvic acids and their effects in living systems, fulvic acids have received limited public exposure because of the inability to synthetically produce and commercialize these substances.
New benefits to humans, animals and plant life are being discovered as science examines the most complex molecules in all of nature. Some currently-known benefits of Free-form Fulvic Acid are:
Nature’s Most Powerful Antioxidant!
Fulvic acid is nature’s most powerful antioxidant, scavenging and rendering free radicals inert by reacting with both negatively and positively charged unpaired electrons. If it encounters free radicals with unpaired positive electrons, fulvic acid supplies an equal and opposite negative charge to neutralize the bad effects of the free radicals. Likewise, if the free radicals carry a negative charge, the fulvic acid molecule can supply positive unpaired electrons to nullify that charge. An abundance of molecular donor and receptor sites along the molecular chains of fulvic acids lend themselves to a large diversity of chemical reactions, able to react with more compounds than any other antioxidant in nature. This makes fulvic acids far more powerful than other well known anti-oxidants like Vitamin E, CoQ-10 and Vitamin C.
Incredible Delivery System!
Increasing nutrient delivery to the cells, Fulvic Acid is so powerful that a single molecule can transport more than 60 times its own weight in minerals, vitamins and enzymes. Having a dramatic impact on health, fulvic acid is the element that makes nutrients absorbable. It maintains cellular integrity and aids in the cellular detoxification process. Many supplement companies are now beginning to add free-form fulvic acid to nutrient formulas to boost effectiveness and overall cellular absorption.
50,000 ppm - 80,000 ppm Free Form Fulvic Acid!
Researchers consider water extracts of 30 parts per million (ppm) as being a high concentration. Mineral Logic uses the natural chelating characteristics of fulvic acids to further extract more fulvic acids and minerals in subsequent production runs. This method is called “Fulvic Carry-Over Extraction,” and is the patent-pending production process developed and perfected by Mineral Logic. Our exclusive process cannot be copied by other manufacturers since other source material lacks the abundance and diversity of naturally-occurring ingredients evident in our source material. True free-from fulvic acid deposits close to the earth’s surface are rare. Mineral Logic harvests, cures and processes the source material in a way that spares fulvic acids, minerals, trace elements and enzymes. This is essential for creating a pure, mineral-rich free-form fulvic acid product.
Super Electrolyte!
Fulvic acid is one of the most powerful natural electrolytes known to exist. It charges, regenerates, regulates, and delivers its energies to living cells. It balances cellular life by restoring the electrical potential that was once normal to the cell. This fact in and of itself is amazing! This powerful, natural electrolyte can act as an acceptor or as a donor in the creation of electrochemical balance. The power of an electrolyte has been shown in repeated tests on animal cells (giant amoeba); to be able to restore life in what researchers termed ’a beautiful demonstration’ and ’astonishing.’ When the electrolyte potential was taken away during the test, the cell ruptured and disintegrated into the surrounding fluid, dying. Upon re-introducing electrical potential, the cell reconstructed and became active and healthy. These studies show convincingly that the physical well-being of plants, animals, and humans is determined by proper electrical potential.
Nature’s Perfect Mineral Blend!
Free-form Fulvic Acids are created in extremely small amounts by millions of microbes working on decaying plant matter. The most potent and active fulvic acids are found in trace amounts in certain humic deposits from prehistoric plant life. Fulvic acids are ready in natural form to interact with and be absorbed by living cells. Maintaining the environment by dissolving mineral complexes and elements, fulvic acid causes cells to bio-react electrically with one another. This produces catalytic reactions, electron transfer, and transmutations into new minerals, creating a perfect blend of organic minerals and trace elements chelated by humic and fulvic acids. The greater the humic and fulvic acid content of a deposit the greater the overall mineral and trace element content. Minerals delivered by fulvic acids are unrivaled in quality, bio-efficiency and electrical potential. Nature’s perfect mineral blend!
Extraordinary Plant Food!
Adding fulvic acid to our soil creates a nurturing environment, producing healthier plants with greater crop yields. The overuse of pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and erosion prohibit microbial activity and the formation of fulvic acids within a medium. Our farmlands are in “poor health” from these patterns. Fulvic acid minerals and trace elements have the potential to correct unhealthy soils and growing mediums, in addition to supplying much-needed organic mineral complexes.
Nature’s Most Efficient Molecule!
Fulvic Acids are necessary for the utilization of vitamins, enzyme production, and hormone structures. They are essential to living cells carrying out metabolic processes. Fulvic acid balances and energizes cell life, and the biological properties it comes into contact with. Cells absorb nutrients chelated by (biochemically bound) fulvic acids with far greater efficiency. Whether these natural compounds are ions (single molecule), or colloids (groupings of molecules), has little bearing on absorption. Remember; there is no such thing as a non-ionic mineral! The term ionic simply refers to something that bears an electrical charge of some kind. When a mineral product contains no fulvic colloids, it is not a free-form fulvic acid product! Organic minerals derived from once-living plant matter have to be ion-containing colloids rich in free-form humic and fulvic acids.
Organic Key Ingredient!
Understand that the total metabolism of the body is the sum of the metabolic operations carried on in each individual. Cells, when properly nourished, are capable of producing many of their own factors necessary for metabolic processes. Each cell burns its own energy, maintains itself, manufactures its own enzymes, creates its own proteins and duplicates itself. Fulvic Acids are a key ingredient to making all of this possible. Mineral-rich, free-form fulvic acids are severely lacking in modern diets. The cellular protection and benefits that result from consuming fulvic acids--especially fulvic acids with prehistoric plant-matter origins--are well worth the price of supplementation.
A Leap Forward for Nutrition Science!
In the near future, most nutritional supplements for humans, animals and agriculture will contain some form of fulvic acid. Scientists have theorized about the ’missing link’ of nutrition ... they now believe it to be FREE-FORM FULVIC ACIDS, rich in minerals and trace elements, that have all passed through the roots of plants to form Nature’s Perfect Mineral Blend!
Donor and Receptor Molecule!
Fulvic Acid is available at times as a donor and at other times as an acceptor, based on the cell’s requirements for balance. One of the reactions that occur is always an oxidation reaction in which the chemical species loses electrons as a donor. The other reaction is a reduction in which the active species gains electrons as an acceptor. Trace mineral enzymes in the fulvic acid electrolyte may serve as electrodes. These molecular characteristics allow fulvic acids to donate ions to reactions that form new mineral complexes, stimulate cellular function, carry other nutrients into cellular structures and deliver respiration as well as increased electrical potential. The receptor sites along the complex chains of a fulvic acid molecules act as cellular toxin magnets, binding them and rendering them harmless to other cells and body functions.
Detoxifies Pollutants!
An important aspect of humic substances, including fulvic acids, is related to their sorptive interaction with environmental chemicals, either before or after they reach concentrations toxic to living organisms. The toxic herbicide known as Paraquat, for example, is rapidly detoxified by humic substances. Fulvic acids are nature’s most potent detoxifier, seeking out and absorbing or reacting with toxins, preparing them for easy mobilization via the eliminative organs. This takes place on both a cellular and systemic level and is largely due to their special electrical properties and their colloidal molecular chains. Studies have shown that these complex natural substances have the ability to neutralize radiation and its effect on exposed living cells. Other studies have shown their ability to remove cellular and systemic waste from animal and plant life.
100% Organic Plant Origin!
Viewing our source material from our humic deposit is convincing evidence that the deposit is indeed humic plant matter millions of years in the making. (View Fulvic - Humic Source Material Photographs) The profusion of colors--especially the greens, are unique to our humic material. The organic crystals throughout the deposit are further evidence of its organic origins. Most humic deposits are located deep in a mountain or underground subjected to great pressures creating heat that is harmful to the delicate fulvic substances. Since humans and animals are dependent on solar energy converted (at least primarily) by plants into nutrients that our bodies can process, we can benefit from supplementing ourselves, our soils, or, the animals that feed us with sources that contain high concentrations of a full spectrum of nutrients already digested by plants. Concentrations of plant-digested micronutrients in our fulvic mineral products are so high and so readily available to the human body that adding them to one’s diet (not omitting the fresh fruit and vegetables) enables the cell’s intake of additional nutrients-nutrients that may not otherwise be available from the diet.
Cellular Longevity!
Nucleic and amino acids, remnants of once living cells, are major components of fulvic acids. These acids are possibly preserved indefinitely in-tact within fulvic substances, and may also have healthy benefits to the cell, which absorbs fulvic acid readily because of its low molecular weight. Since fulvic acid is also an electrolyte, it increases the permeability of cell membranes, enhances RNA and DNA metabolism, reverses damage done by toxic substances and prolongs the resident-time of nutrients within the medium. (Fulvic acid colloids increase DNA and RNA synthesis. Retarded DNA and RNA synthesis and metabolism speeds the death of cells and therefore hastens the aging process.)
FAQs
What is the % of Fulvic acid in your product?
Fulvic-Humic Minerals consistently test for 50,000 part per million to 100,000 part per million fulvic acid. This can also be stated as 5% to 10% fulvic acid content; beware of anyone claiming more than 10% fulvic acid content! Fulvic acids appear in minute quantities in nature. Products containing more than 4% fulvic acid content by the time they reach the marketplace are rare. Some claim as much as 70% fulvic acid content while displaying elsewhere a 20% humic acid content and a 20 - 35% mineral content.
Anyone with at least some chemistry classes in their background can quickly see that this makes no sense. 70% = 700,000 ppm (parts per million or milligrams per liter), 20% = 200,000 ppm or milligrams per liter, and 35% mineral content = 350,000 ppm or milligrams per liter. A liter of water only has a million parts available for anything to be dissolved, suspended or dispersed in the water. A million-ppm or milligrams per liter within the medium would be a solid…Like salt when stirred into water, one can only dissolve, disperse or suspend so much of a solid before the saturation point is reached and no more of the solid will dissolve. Products containing 500,000 ppm of any substance would be thick sludgy heavy syrup. So let’s add these numbers: 700,000 ppm + 200,000 ppm + 350,000 ppm = 1,250,000 ppm--IMPOSSIBLE! Please, do not be fooled by such false and misleading claims. Ask for proof …ask for analyses proving fulvic acid content and mineral content!
Is your product tested by independent laboratories?
Absolutely! We test regularly for mineral content, fulvic acid content, humic acid content, amino acid content, plate counts and heavy metals. If you want to know what’s really in any fulvic or trace mineral product ask the company for an analysis proving their claims. Ask what the source of the raw material is.
What is the difference between “Fulvic Acids” and “Humic Acids?”
Fulvic acids ARE humic acids that are lighter- weight molecules higher in oxygen than non-fulvic humic acids. An expert in Fulvic - Humic science is quoted as saying; “Fulvic Acids are simply older Humic Acids.” Both fulvic and non-fulvic humic acids have health benefits, but they always appear together displaying various ratios to one another in their natural state. Humic acids have stronger antiviral and antibacterial properties while fulvic acids have more nutritional and detoxification benefits. Fulvic-Humic Minerals Contain both Fulvic and Humic acids.
I have read that a fulvic-humic acid is fungal derived is this acurate?
There are sevreal ways that one can “manufacture” fulvic-humic acids by composting plant matter adding a type of fungus to begin microbial action. Although this method produces minute quantities of fulvic - humic acid it is a “first generation” fulvic - humic acid. It is intended for use as a fertilizor and can benefit plants. This type of fulvic-humic acid contains the simplest of fulvic acid molecules much like sea water. Our product is fulvic-humic acid that has been acted upon by microbes over millions of years creating far superior forms of very “complex” fulvic-humic acid molecules. These complex molecules are the best of the best with excellent mineral content and deliver far greater benefits than 1st generation agricultural grade fulvic-humic acids. Warning! - Fulvic -Humic acids coming from China can be contaminated with e-coli. They are intended for the soil and should not be used for human consumtion.
Will products that have a low pH acidify the body?
Although Vitamin C or Citric acid in citrus fruits are acidic, they will alkalize the blood, body fluids and tissues as long as they remain unheated. Fulvic and Humic acids containing sufficient mineral content are in the same category as Vitamin C. Once a few drops of our Fulvic-Humic Mineral is placed in water or juice the pH of the original liquid is a “non issue.” It’s nothing more than a marketing tactic to suggest that mineals with a pH that is not 7.0 will acidify the body. Products that claim to be pH neutral and contain Fulvic Acid” have created an oxymoron. Our product is acidic because of its high fulvic and humic acid content unadulterated by neutralizing agents to bring the pH to 7.0. Neutral pH means NO free form fulvic acid…only reacted fulvic ccompounds …useless if you expect to get the benefits of fulvic acid!
Are Ionic minerals superior to colloidal minerals?
A mineral has to contain an electrical charge or it wouldn’t be a mineral. According to peer journals within the scientific community that have researched fulvic and humic acids extensively, all fulvic and humic acids are colloids. Fulvic - Humic Acid colloids have the unique ability to give-up single ions for delivery or imparting the benefits of the mineral content to the cells. They also have the unique ability to take on or bind undesirable ions in the body removing (or detoxifying) them from the system. This is primarily due to the donor (giving up an ion) and receptor (taking on an ion) sites contained within the structure of these very complex molecules. This is in part the reason why fulvic and humic acid molecules cannot be synthesized. Also, please remember that all living cells are complex “colloidal” mediums.
So what is a Nano sized Fulvic Acid?
The term Nano is another clever marketing tactic to convince the consumer that a special or secret extraction process creates nano sized particles (particles of very small size) fulvic acid. ALL FULVIC ACIDS are Nano size …nature took care of that with no seceret or special process needed to extract them! Companies making this claim are selling leonordite or lignite (a type of coal) source fulvic acid most of which is water content with very low mineral content. Does the product contain naturally occuring trace amounts of amino acids; proof of its plant origin? Marketers who claim that their fulvic acid product has a neutral pH are NOT selling fulvic acid minerals but neutralized compounds no longer containing the benefits of free form fulvic acids. If it’s not acidic it’s not Fulvic or Humic acid! Ask for an independent laboratory analysis if you choose to see the true makeup of any Fulvic/Humic acid product.
What is the difference between Ionic, Colloidal and Angstrom (also called Nano) Minerals?
Colloids are groups of molecules held together by special electrical properties dispersed or suspended in a liquid. Ions are single molecules with an electric charge. Angstrom (nano) merely refers to the size of the ions. To qualify as angstrom size the ion must be a unit of measurement that equals one ten-billionth of a meter or less in size. Fulvic - Humic Acid minerals contain all three states making them the most unique and complex molecules in nature. Science is yet to synthesize colloids that are able to release single ions of angstrom size at the appropriate time and place within the body and cells. The statement that “Colloids are not easily absorbed” is true for any other colloids because they do not contain the complex variety of donor and receptor sites that fulvic colloids do.
Does your company use a proprietary process?
We use only purified water to extract the minerals from our deposit material. Chemicals of any kind are never used. We have no need to hide behind a “proprietary or secret process,” since our deposit material is among the rarest on earth...for this reason our product cannot be duplicated. Some marketers make the statement that “No harmful chemicals are used in their process” … Notice it does not say “NO Chemicals of any kind are ever used.”
Is your product 100% fulvic in solution?
This statement appears on numerous websites. All fulvic acid is soluble at all pH ranges ... YES our product is 100% dissolved fulvic and humic acids. This, however, does NOT mean that a product is 100% fulvic acid-no fulvic -humic acid mineral product can be 100% Fulvic Acid.
Some claim their product is the #1 rated “Fulvic Minerals” or “Fulvic Acid.” How is your product rated?
Currently organizations that would rate or certify fulvic-humic acid minerals and release or post a rating do not exist! This is nothing more than clever marketing, anyone can make this statement. We prefer to let the results our customer’s experience do the “rating.”
What is the % of humic acid in your product?
Since all fulvic acids are humic acids a more accurate question would be what is the (non-fulvic) humic acid content of your product? Our product contains from .45 (4500 ppm) to 1% (10,000 ppm) non-fulvic humic acid content. Most batches test for a combined Fulvic Acid and Humic Acid content of over 60,000 ppm or mg per liter!
Is your product plant-derived?
It is of plant origin; to say it is “palnt derived” suggests that the product is a direct extraction of plants. YES, our product is of plant origin it is extracted from a source material that was once a living rain forest. Our Minerals have been tested for amino acid content. If a fulvic-humic mineral is of plant origin, it must contain trace amounts of all amino acids. It should also contain carbon, iron and at least 60 or more trace minerals and elements. To say that a product is plant derived but is actually extracted from a humic deposit is at best inaccurate and potentially misleading.
What can I expect to feel from taking your Fulvic -Humic mineral concentrate?
Most people will first notice a more consistent and “even” flow of daily energy and endurance. For those who suffer from health problems, several weeks of supplementation may be needed in order to notice the energy boost. The benefits of taking Fulvic - Humic Minerals are diverse. Improvements in health and absorption of nutrients from foods and other supplements will increase. Hair, nails, teeth and skin will gradually become much healthier. Digestive and bowel health will improve, while many of the aches and pains of age and daily stress can be reduced and often eliminated.
Are these minerals safe to ingest on a daily basis?
Fulvic-Humic Minerals have been and continue to be tested by several independent laboratories for mineral content, trace mineral content, trace element content, fulvic acid and humic acid content, heavy metals, plate counts (no yeast, fungus, bacteria or mold appears), amino acid content and insecticide residue (none appears in the product). Our Fulvic-Humic Minerals have an 80-year track record of safe and beneficial use by humans and animals alike with no report of adverse or harmful effects reported. We spare no expense to make sure our Fulvic-Humic Minerals are the finest and most scientifically supported Fulvic-Humic Minerals on the market.
How are these fulvic minerals any different than others?
Many of the minerals on the market are made from a coal (lignite or leonordite) that is low in BTU’s, making it undesirable as a fuel. Although such material does contain about 2% to 6% fulvic acid content (bound mostly to carbon), Fulvic-Humic Minerals contain far greater quantities of viable nutrients, including minerals and trace minerals. In fact, the carbon content of lignite or leonordite-type source material is very high, making it impossible to concentrate the end product. (To do so would drive the heavy metal content beyond acceptable levels.) These products are usually a light yellow in color, contain no significant amount of trace mineral content, have a diluted mineral and fulvic acid content and are usually sold in 32 oz. containers. Fulvic-Humic Minerals are extracxted from a rare humic deposit and contains no coal based, leonordite or lignite source ingredients without the added water!
How do your minerals compare to Great Salt Lake Minerals?
Mineral products derived from salt lake sources are good as a magnesium supplement but contain high amounts of chloride (600 mg per serving) with no detectable levels of amino acids, fulvic or humic acids. You can eat sea salt and get a better variety of trace mineral content (10-20 trace minerals and elements) although it contains NO Fulvic Acids, Humic Acids or Amino Acids. Fulvic-Humic Minerals contain generous quantities of fulvic, humic and amino acids, minerals, trace minerals and trace elements… Our product is manufactured from a true plant- origin deposit
Can your mineral be taken while on prescription medicines?
Yes. Our Fulvic-Humic Minerals are safe to ingest while on prescription medicines. Our product is a nutrition product and will have no adverse effect on those taking prescription medicines as long as one observes the recommended daily serving. If you have doubts or you have a serious life threating illness it’s always prudent to check first with your primary physician before changing anything in your diet, supplement program or medications.
Will your minerals supplement my need for calcium and magnesium?
NO. Fulvic-Humic minerals are “Trace Minerals” and are meant to supplement what is lacking in most foods. Trace element and trace mineral deficiencies can have profound effects on our overall health. Calcium and other macro-minerals like Magnesium are best supplemented by taking Calcium and Magnesium in the form of a citrate, orotate, lactate, gluconate or amino acid chelates. Avoid the use of coral calcium, calcium carbonate or oxide forms of magnesium and zinc from limestone.
Can Children use Fulvic-Humic Minerals?
Yes. We recommend 1 (one) drop per 20 lbs. of body weight. Children under 30 lbs. or less than 3 years of age should not be given supplements unless specifically directed by a Physician.
What about Pets?
Adding a few drops daily to your pet’s water supply will impart the same benefits that us humans experience when supplying good nutrition with adaequate mnineral intake. Place 1 (one) per 10 lbs. of body weight in the amount of drinking water your pet consumes in a 24 hour period. Never give your pet chlorinated water.
I have read that Fulvic-Humic Minerals are great as a topical application for the skin is this true?
Yes! Simply place 10 drops in 2 cups of distilled water and spray on the skin twice daily. Skin cells absorb the minerals and other ingredients directly. Your skin will feel smoother and softer after two weeks of taking them internally and using them externally as well.
Does your product contain “Oxygen?”
Yes! Our Fulvic/Humic Minerals contain 10%-15% naturally occuring oxygen. There are many products on the market claiming to be “Oxygen” rich products. Many will only list this ingredient as “Dissolved Oxygen.” These products either contain sodium chlorite, deurterium sulfate or hydrogen peroxide. All are chemical forms usually mixed with other ingredients.
Why are there no vitamins added to your minerals?
Adding any other ingredients would cause the fulvic and humic acid molecules to “react” with the ingredients neutralizing the fulvic and humic acid molecules turning them into compounds. This causes a loss of the benefits attributed to “free form fulvic and humic acids”.
The manufacturer of Tracite has a great quantity of information available on his web site at: http://www.minerallogic.com
This is a video from a Dr Whiting taking about the necessity of trace minerals in our diet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1VTkg_O4IA
All minerals are ionic- they carry an electrical charge:
anionic negatively charged
cationic positively charged
Bioavailable means they are more available - they have increased absorption rates.
Minerals are absorbed in the body faster in an acidic environment. Avoid alkaline products when drinking fulvic minerals.
Colloids are small particles and are more readily absorbed.
Thanks for dropping by.
