Humic Mineral

THE NATURAL IMMUNE STIMULATOR

Humic Mineral

Humic acid is a chemical produced by decaying plants. People use it to make medicine. People take humic acid for stimulating the immune system and treating the flu (influenza), avian flu, swine flu, and other viral infections. (View Source)


Like fulvic acid, humic acid contains a wide variety of minerals, including trace minerals. They are similar in molecular structure, but unique in its benefits and chemical makeup. Fascinatingly, humic acid is the byproduct of an 80 million-year-old geological process. Humification happens when the right combination of organic matter combines with certain geological conditions, such as pressure and temperature. Humates form as ancient seaweed, plants, vegetation, and fruit trees compress over time, leaving us with a mineral-rich humic acid shown to drastically benefit human health. (View Source)


WHERE DOES HUMIC ACID COME FROM?

Humic acids are important because they help make nutrients in the soil available, instead of locked within the soil. How?


It all comes down to oxidation, which gives humic acids a net negative charge. This helps attract positive ions, like calcium and iron, bind to them in what’s called a cation exchange capacity. This process helps aid in root growth and ultimately plant growth, transferring those important micronutrients into bioavailable food.


Don’t be fooled by the name! Humic acid is not actually acidic but is rather highly alkaline. This is important because the higher the pH values, the more water-soluble it becomes, and therefore more bioavailable to your body. (View Source)


IMPACT OF HUMIC ACIDS ON THE COLONIC MICROBIOME IN HEALTHY VOLUNTEERS

The growing interest of the modern society for environmental and biological welfare refreshed the attractiveness for implementation of humins. Gastroenterologists are often confronted with a wish of patients to be treated with “natural” products and asked for opinion on humic acids. The study of the scientific literature reveals a large number of medical trials with dietary supplements of humic acids conducted all over the world. The reported effects include different, partially incoherent properties such as anti-inflammatory and immune-stimulatory as well as analgesic, antimicrobial, antiviral/anti-HIV activity, antioxidant and even stroke protective effects.


Humic acids exert profound effects on the colonic microbiota and may be an interesting group of substances for the development of specific drugs, which deliberately influence colonic fermentation in an inflamed colon, obesity, rheumatic and neurologic disorders. (View Source)
