HIDE SMILES / InChI
Fulvic acid is primarily studied for its effects on plants and soil. Fulvic acid is an organic and natural electrolyte. Depending on the situation, Fulvic acid can act as an electron donor or acceptor and an oxidizer or reducer. Fulvic acid has exhibited the ability to enhance the availability and adsorption of nutrients as well as prolong their time of residence. In the chick animal model Fulvic acid disturbed the processing of procollagen II in articular cartilage. Fulvic acid has being shown to attenuate homocysteine-induced cyclooxygenase-2 expression in human monocytes. Fulvic acid, the main active principle of Shilajit (a natural substance found mainly in the Himalayas), blocks tau self-aggregation, opening an avenue toward the study of Alzheimer's therapy. People take fulvic acid by mouth for brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, as well as respiratory tract infections, cancer, fatigue, heavy metal toxicity, and preventing a condition in which the body tissues do not receive enough oxygen (hypoxia).

Sample Use Guides

Fulvic Acid comes in liquid and powder form: The recommended maintenance dose of Fulvic acid is 1 - 2 Ounces per day based on one teaspoon per 20 pounds (preferably split ½ in the morning and ½ in the mid-afternoon) – 6 teaspoons = 1 ounce = 2 Tablespoons.
Route of Administration: Oral
To test the effects of Fulvic acid (FA) on homocysteine-induced COX-2 expression in monocytes, human primary monocytes and U937 cells were pretreated with FA at concentrations of 0.5, 1, 5, and 10 ug/mL for 4 h, and then stimulated with homocysteine (200 uM) for 4 h in the presence of FA. Pretreating monocytes with FA at a concentration of 1 or 10 ug/mL reduced the homocysteine-induced PGE2 secretion.
