We hear more about fulvic acid vs humic acid these days. Scientific research has been there for years, but what is it all about? Why is this so important? What is the difference between fulvic and humic acid?
Fulvic acid is a soil-based molecule like humic acid but is much smaller. Fulvic acid seems to support the detoxification process as a toxin binder, where humic may have superior anti-viral qualities. Due to its size fulvic acid can better enter cells and support the body’s ability to support the removal of both heavy metals and bio-toxins by supporting detox pathways. Fulvic acid can also provide immune system support as well as enhanced nutrient uptake. Other benefits of fulvic acid include supporting circulation, as increased blood flow may aid nutrient intake and cellular detoxification. Fulvic acid also supports the distribution of nutrients as it seems to play a role in the mail man approach of who needs what and when they need it nutritionally.
Humic acid has some of the same qualities but slightly different. Humic is more associated with its anti-viral properties. It is a much larger molecule than fulvic. Humic acid has great immune support qualities. It is a mixture of acids that seem to be attracted to and can bind to charged ions for improved free radical scavenging, as well as antioxidant support. It also can support the distribution of nutrients and has binding qualities as well. Humic is more associated with its anti-viral support It may support the binding of molecules such as glycoproteins which are components of cell walls, therefore supporting better cell to cell communication. It seems to communicate with T cells and killer immune cells. This may increase the immune response that people feel. There are so many benefits to taking humic acid. The more we study it, the better it looks. As I have been on humacel for over 10 years and feel If there was only one supplement I could take, It would be humacel, as it makes a profound difference in how I feel and how my immune system responds. I have not missed a day of work or had a cold in many years and humacel has a lot to do with it. Cellcore has numerous products that contain both fulvic and humic acid in their formulas called carbon technology.
The biggest challenges we face nowadays is understanding that the detoxification pathways, the function of our immune system and our nutritional delivery system. These must be at the top of our list for us to get well and stay that way. Humic and fulvic acids along with Liposomal delivery products should be the core of your wellness program.
