Humic Acid and Fulvic Acid, is a broad spectrum VIRAL INHIBITOR, according to The National Institute of Health (NIH). It comes from beneath the soil (approximately 30 feet), below. It is created from PRE-historic mineral plant life and is the vein beneath the layers of soil. In this soil lie all the minerals and nutrients necessary to sustain any living organism of life. Both have been successful in agriculture. The body requires oxygen, water and humates to live, Fulvic and Humic acid are part of the humate family. We get small traces of humates from our food consumption, such as tomatoes and leafy foods. As our farm lands get over farmed there is significantly less humates in the foods today than there was 50-100 years ago. Therefore we must supplement with mineral intake.
