Humic substances are named as humic acid, fulvic acid
or humin and are dark brown constituents of soil. No major distinct divisions
exist between humic acids, fulvic acids and humins.
I can only find very little research on this topic.
Anti-inflammatory benefit
BMC Complement Altern Med. 2015. Fulvic acid attenuates homocysteine-induced
cyclooxygenase-2 expression in human monocytes.
Oral health
BMC Oral Health. 2013. Investigating the biological properties of
carbohydrate derived fulvic acid (CHD-FA) as a potential novel therapy for the
management of oral biofilm infections. A number of oral diseases, including
periodontitis, derive from microbial biofilms and are associated with increased
antimicrobial resistance. Despite the widespread use of mouthwashes being used
as adjunctive measures to control these biofilms, their prolonged use is not
recommended due to various side effects. Therefore, alternative broad-spectrum
antimicrobials that minimise these effects are highly sought after. Carbohydrate
derived fulvic acid (CHD-FA) is an organic acid which has previously
demonstrated to be microbiocidal against Candida albicans biofilms, therefore,
the aims of this study were to evaluate the antibacterial activity of CHD-FA
against orally derived biofilms and to investigate adjunctive biological
effects. Overall, CHD-FA was shown to possess broad-spectrum antibacterial
activity, with a supplementary function of being able to down-regulate
inflammation. These properties offer an attractive spectrum of function from a
naturally derived compound, which could be used as an alternative topical
treatment strategy for oral biofilm diseases. Further studies are required to determine the precise mechanism by which CHD-FA modulates
the host immune response.
Fulvic acid supplement questions
Q. Can you tell me your thoughts on fulvic acid supplements please? I noticed you don’t
offer it for sale. Any known side effects or risks in taking this
product? Can it effectively remove toxic metals from ones system?
A. I have not studied fulvic acid benefits or side effects in any
great detail.
Q. It's seems that
humic / fulvic acid is one of the
latest miracle cures. Do you have any reliable research showing any real
benefits?
A. As of 2017, I am not aware of any human studies done in
Western countries with humic or fulvic acid supplements.
And what about
Fulvic acid for nutrient absorption? Do you think it works? What dosage?
I have not seen studies that show it to enhance absorption.
