Fulvic acid is lighter and soluble over a wide pH range, facilitating its interactions with membranes and minerals. Humic acid is heavier , less soluble (insoluble at acidic pH), and more local.
It can chelate certain metal ions and facilitate their transport, supporting elimination pathways. It does not replace liver and kidney function. Avoid self-medication for chelation purposes.
The literature describes immunoredox modulation and potential anti-inflammatory effects. In Europe, no health claims are authorized for fulvic acid or shilajit.
In vitro data show inhibition of tau protein aggregation . These are preclinical indices , not proof of clinical efficacy.
The majority of clinical signals come from studies on shilajit (fulvic acid + DBPs + minerals synergy) regarding vitality , recovery and reproductive parameters. The effects of isolated fulvic acid are poorly documented.
Controlled origin , gentle extraction, third-party analyses (heavy metals, mycotoxins, solvents), clear standardization in % fulvic acid, certificates of analysis (COA) available.
No health claims are currently permitted. Products must comply with Regulation (EU) 2023/915 on maximum levels of contaminants.
