Fulvic Acid: The Missing Link in Your Health
In the past, the soil gave us everything: minerals, energy and resilience. Fulvic acid brings that natural balance back, for true health from within.
We used to eat differently. Not necessarily healthier, but the soil did the hard work for us.
Healthy, living soils were full of humus: the dark, rich material that occurs when plants and microorganisms break down. But the destruction of soil life was already warned by an American state commission in 1936, ninety years ago.
What used to be in the soil and is now gone:
1. Trace elements
These are minerals that we need in small amounts, but are crucial for enzymes, hormones and energy production.
Formerly abundant: due to the natural weathering of rocks, biodiversity, animal manure and compost.
Now often exhausted: due to fertilizers (which mainly contain nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, NPK), erosion and monocultures.
Examples of lost or decreased trace elements:
Zinc (Zn) → needed for immune system and hormones
Copper (Cu) → essential for iron absorption and energy
Selenium (Se) → antioxidant, thyroid function
Molybdenum (Mo) → helps detoxify via liver enzymes
Manganese (Mn) → bone building, blood sugar regulation
Iodine (I) → used to end up partly in food via the soil
Silicon (Si) → important for skin, hair, connective tissue
Plants extract minerals from the soil: if those minerals are no longer there, they are not in our food either.
2. Fulvic acid and humic acids
These are the natural “transporters” of minerals. They combine minerals with organic acids so that plants (and therefore us) absorb them better.
Formerly: rich in dark, living soils with lots of compost, leaves, microorganisms.
Now: largely disappeared due to soil impoverishment, pesticides and overprocessed soil.
3. Microorganisms and fungi (soil life)
Healthy soils were full of mycorrhizal fungi, bacteria and enzymes that converted nutrients into absorbable forms.
In the past: 1 teaspoon of healthy soil contained billions of living organisms. Now: in intensive farmland, this is often less than 10% of the past. 💡 Without this soil life, minerals remain stuck in the soil, so plants cannot absorb them, so you won't get them either.
4. Natural humus (organic matter)
Humus is the dark, spongy material in fertile soil that holds water, nitrogen, and carbon.
Previously: Soils often contain 6— 10% organic matter.
Now: In many arable lands, this is < 2%.
Humus is literally the “bank account” of the soil; the less humus, the less nutritional value and resilience.
5. Natural balance of minerals
In the past, there was a natural balance between calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, phosphorus, etc.
Now, fertilizer (NPK) causes an oversupply of a few elements, which blocks the uptake of others.
For example, too much potassium → inhibits the absorption of magnesium and calcium.
6. Traces of plant substances and enzymes
Some of the bioactive substances in plants (such as flavonoids, polyphenols, antioxidants) are directly related to soil health.
Less stress, less diversity in the soil → fewer protective substances in plants → less powerful food.
Where soils used to be alive, mineral-rich and microbiologically active, they are now often depleted, sterile and dependent on fertilizers.
The result?
We still eat our fruit and vegetables, but the deep nutritional value, the “conductor” that makes minerals useful, is often lacking.
Why supplement?
You won't immediately notice a shortage of fulvic acid and minerals themselves, but you do notice it in a body that: absorbs minerals less well, accumulates deficiencies more quickly, removes waste products less efficiently.
Fulvic acid works like a turbo: it makes other substances you take in more effective.
The solution
SMPL72 brings fulvic acid back into your daily routine. Pure, high-quality and immediately absorbable. It supports:
- better absorption of essential minerals
- heavy metal detoxification
- more energy at the cellular level
Fulvic acid used to be naturally present in your diet. Now you have to make a smarter choice.
