Fulvic Acid
What is Fulvic Acid
Fulvic acid is a natural compound found in soil, compost, peat, and bodies of water. It’s formed through the decomposition of organic matter by microbes and is part of a group of substances known as humic substances (which includes humic acid and fulvic acid). Fulvic acid is particularly valued for its low molecular weight, making it easily absorbed by plants and potentially by humans.
Top Benefits of Fulvic Acid as a Supplement
