FULVIC ACID

What are they? Where do they come from? What can they do? Why do we need them?

Though virtually unknown to the layman, there is perhaps no substance more vital to life, (with the possible exception of oxygen and water) than the biologically derived compounds known as Humic and Fulvic acids. Fulvic acids enter into all life processes within plants and animals and wear many hats. When necessary; they act as free-radical scavengers, supply vital electrolytes, enhance and transport nutrients, make water wetter, catalyze enzyme reactions, increase assimilation, stimulate metabolism, chelate essential major and trace elements making them organic, and demonstrate amazing capacity for electrochemical balance.


Unknown Fulvic
Despite the fact that scientists world wide have published thousands of papers relative to fulvic acids and their effect on living matter, they have received limited public exposure because of the inability to produce and commercialize these substances. Researchers consider water extracts of 30 parts per million (ppm) as being a high concentration. For obvious reasons the knowledge of fulvic acids have been confined primarily to the scientific community.
How Are They Formed?
Fulvic acid is a derivative of microbial degradation of humic substances. Microorganisms are essential to the process. Each gram of healthy top soil has in excess of four billion microorganisms that participate in manufacturing bio-chemicals essential to healthy plants and animals. If they were to fail our lives would cease. A better perspective of their importance can be gained by looking at the work they do. Microorganism activity in preparing one acre of top soil, expends the equivalent energy of 10000 people doing the same amount of work in the same amount of time.
What Humic Substances Do in the Soil
Scientists claim organic substances stimulate plant cellular growth and division, including auxin type reactions. They enhance plant circulatory systems and promote optimum plant respiration and transportation systems. They decrease plant stress and premature deterioration. They dramatically improve seed germination and promote greater fibrous root growth. They increase the size and numbers of legume root nodules and increase resistance to drought and insect infestation.
High molecular weight humic substances serve as food stock for microorganisms…which in turn break them down into smaller units of high energy substances called fulvic acid. Humic substances of high molecular weight, including humic acids, alter the physical characteristics of the soil while low molecular weight fulvic acids are involved in biochemical reactions that influence the plant’s metabolic process. Both are indispensable.
The Fulvic Miracle
In addition to duplication many of the positive functions of humic acid, fulvic acid will: ● Stimulate metabolism ● Give positive effect on RNA & DNA ● Act as a catalyst in respiration ● Increase metabolism of proteins ● Enhances the permeability of cell membranes ● Enhance cell division and cell elongation ● Aid chlorophyll synthesis ● Increase drought tolerance, and prevent wilting ● Increase crop yields ● Assist denitrification by microbes ● Buffer soil PH ● Contribute electrochemical balance as a donor or an acceptor ● Synthesize new minerals ● Chemically weather inorganic substances ● Decompose silica to release essential mineral nutrients ● Detoxify various pollutants (pesticides, herbicides, etc.)
