Fulvic Acid
FULVIC ACIDS are a family of organic acids, natural compounds, and components of the humus (which is a fraction of soil organic matter). They are similar to humic acids, with differences being the carbon and oxygen contents, acidity, degree of polymerization, molecular weight, and colour.
Shilajit and fulvic acid are related substances but they differ significantly in their composition, origin, and benefits. Here's an overview of their differences:
Shilajit vs Fulvic Acid, What’s The Difference?
Shilajit
- Origin: Shilajit is a sticky substance found primarily in the rocks of the Himalayas. It forms over centuries from the slow decomposition of plants and is rich in minerals and organic matter.
- Composition: It contains a complex mixture of minerals, fulvic acid, humic acid, amino acids, and plant-based antioxidants. Fulvic acid is a key component, but it's only one of many constituents.
- Benefits: Shilajit is considered an adaptogen, which helps reduce stress and fatigue. It's reputed to enhance physical performance, increase energy levels, and improve overall vitality. It's also used in traditional medicine to support heart health, brain function, and immune response.
Fulvic Acid
- Origin: Fulvic acid is a component of humus, which is found in soil, peat, coal, and bodies of water like streams and lakes. It can be derived from Shilajit but also from other organic matter decomposition processes.
- Composition: Fulvic acid is a type of humic substance and is known for its small molecular size, which allows it to be highly bioavailable. It's rich in various nutrients, including electrolytes, antioxidants, and minerals.
- Benefits: Fulvic acid is praised for its ability to enhance nutrient absorption, improve gut health, and support cellular detoxification. It acts as a natural electrolyte, can stimulate metabolism, and improve cognitive health.
Key Differences
- Source: Shilajit is a specific natural substance with a unique origin, while fulvic acid is a component found in various organic materials, including Shilajit.
- Composition: Shilajit contains fulvic acid but also has a broader range of minerals and compounds. Fulvic acid, on the other hand, is more singular in its composition.
- Usage and Benefits: While both are used for their health benefits, Shilajit is often used in more traditional, holistic health practices for its wide-ranging benefits, whereas fulvic acid is specifically sought after for its nutrient absorption and digestive health benefits.
In summary, fulvic acid is the key component of Shilajit.
Model structure of FULVIC ACID
FULVIC ACIDS is a yellow-brown substance found in natural materials such as shilajit, soil, peat, coal, leonardite and bodies of water such as streams or lakes. Fulvic acid is created by the gradual decomposition of certain plants and animals by the action of micro-organisms within millions of years. As natural, organic fulvic acids are produced by soil-based micro-organisms ("SBOs") to make minerals and other nutrients assailable by plants. The SBOs consume decayed prehistoric plant matter in humate deposits and excrete the substance known as "fulvic acid" or "fulvic acids". Fulvic minerals have been shown to contain multiple active functional groups, including phenolic hydroxyl, ketone carbonyl, quinone carbonyl, carboxyl and alkoxyl group
FULVIC ACIDS can not be synthesized in the laboratory; it can be extracted only from natural sources. Innovated system of fulvic acid extraction allows us to receive clean, concentrated fulvic acid without any chemical adding
Method of Analysis
Because of the unique structure and characteristics of the Fulvic Acid process, analysis takes much time and is very complex.
Until recently, there has been no standardized analytical method that the scientific community could rely on for consistent accuracy to determine the quantity of Fulvic Acid in an extract.
Analytical quantification methods in the past measured both Humic and Fulvic Acid as one substance. This created analytical challenges and mass confusion for those fulvic isolates products, with no measurable or deficient humic acid. It is also the primary reason that fulvic acid content claims were usually inaccurate and much higher than is being brought to light with the new standardized method.
We use the Lamar method to test Fulvic Acid extracted by our company. Developed by a team of scientists and individuals from various organizations involved in soil science, the Lamar method was recently accepted as the standardized method for fulvic acid quantification by AAPFCO (Association of American Plant Food Control Officials) and the IHSS (International Humic Substances Society) which consists of the world’s top humic/fulvic scientists.
According to the Lamar Method concentration of Fulvic Acid extracted by our company is 97.3%
