What It Is

Humic acid is part of the humic substances group formed by the decomposition of ancient plant fossils over millions of years. It is primarily known for its mineral and nutrient-transporting properties.

Chemical Properties

Humic acid is a large-chain molecule containing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and other trace elements. Its aromatic nature is due to functional groups like carboxylic, phenolic, and hydroxyl groups.

Why We Use It

Humic acid works in synergy with fulvic acid, supporting gut health and mineral replenishment. Its reactive aromatic nature allows it to bind and remove toxins from the body.

Where to Find It

Humic acid is extremely rare in modern diets. It is found in natural sources such as rocks, shilajit, leonardite, peat, lignite, compost, and manure.
