Plants are the only proper source of minerals for humans because only plants can absorb minerals from the soil in particles small enough to be fully assimilated at a cellular level. Therefore, plants are only as good as the soil they grow in. And that is where the problem lies. Our agricultural land worldwide has become completely depleted and contains almost no minerals anymore, due to intensive and mechanized farming. Because the minerals are no longer in the soil, they are no longer in the plants (and animals) either, meaning we can no longer obtain them in sufficient quantities.
Fulvic acid is a natural compound formed when plant matter is converted into mineral substances over millions of years. It is known as a biological transporter: it helps bind minerals and trace elements in such a way that your body can better absorb and utilize them. The core concept is simple: fulvic acid makes minerals smaller, more soluble, and therefore more absorbable at the cellular level. It supports the very process where many people get stuck: you take something, but it barely reaches the cell, even though that is where energy production and recovery processes take place. This is why fulvic acid is often used in situations involving: reduced absorption, a higher mineral requirement, or a disrupted electrolyte balance. From an orthomolecular perspective, it is not an "extra supplement," but an absorption enhancer that ensures the minerals you are already taking are actually put to use.
No. Fulvic acid and shilajit are often mentioned in the same breath, but they are two completely different products. Shilajit is a natural mixture of various substances that are released from rock over time. Its composition varies by region, season, and processing method, and it can contain dozens of different compounds. As a result, quality and purity vary significantly. Fulvic acid, on the other hand, is one specific, low-molecular-weight fraction from this broader group of humic substances. It is chemically well-defined, water-soluble, and known for its ability to bind minerals and make them more bioavailable to the body. Many people use shilajit to obtain fulvic acid, but the amount of fulvic acid in shilajit is never guaranteed. That is precisely why SMPL72 works with pure fulvic acid. An independent analysis showed that SMPL72 contains three times as much fulvic acid as shilajit, plus dozens of additional minerals and trace elements. Furthermore, SMPL72 is purified using pure water rather than chemical extraction. Quality control also differs significantly. SMPL72 is GMP-certified, the strictest international standard for identity, composition, purity, and production control. The audit is conducted by an independent party and is supervised by the Natural Products Association (NPA), the oldest quality organization for natural products, active since 1936. In short: shilajit is a natural product with a variable composition. Fulvic acid is a pure, well-defined substance. And within that category, SMPL72 represents the highest level of concentration, control, and reliability.
Every person needs at least 60 minerals. That is two-thirds(!) of the 90 essential nutrients that a human cannot live without. That alone shows just how important they are. Minerals are like the spark plugs for all your body's systems. Without them, they simply won't work, and you don't need much imagination to picture what that means.
Humic acid is a large molecule → it remains primarily in the gut. Fulvic acid is small and water-soluble → it reacts with minerals and nutrients in the body.
Fulvic acid is not an energy booster, nor is it a substance that provides an immediate effect on fatigue or concentration. What it does is something more fundamental: it supports the way your body absorbs and utilizes minerals. And that very point—the utilization of minerals—plays a bigger role for many people than they realize. Fatigue, "brain fog," and concentration issues often have multiple causes, but in orthomolecular practice, it is frequently observed that mineral metabolism and electrolyte balance are significant factors. Minerals are necessary for processes such as: - signal transmission in the nervous system - energy production in the mitochondria - oxygen transport - fluid balance in and around the cell - enzyme activity involved in focus, alertness, and metabolism If those minerals are insufficiently available at the cellular level, the body cannot perform these processes efficiently. Fulvic acid cannot solve that on its own, but it makes minerals chemically smaller, more soluble, and more accessible to the body. As a result, the minerals you ingest through food or supplements can be better utilized where they are needed. Many users experience a more stable energy level, greater clarity, or fewer fluctuations throughout the day. Not because fulvic acid provides a direct stimulant, but because minerals are able to do their job better. This is a fundamentally different mechanism than that of caffeine, stimulants, or "energy boosters." It remains important to emphasize: fulvic acid is not a treatment for fatigue or concentration issues. It merely supports the biological foundation upon which energy, clarity, and nerve function operate. What an individual notices from it naturally also depends on diet, hydration, lifestyle, and individual needs.
Certainly. Analyses of soil depletion are confirmed by:the World Health Organization, UNICEF, the British Ministry of Agriculture, and the British Royal Society of Chemistry. These studies show that soil depletion is a global issue: North America - 85% reduction, South America - 76% reduction, Asia - 76% reduction, Africa - 74% reduction, Europe - 72% reduction, Australia - 55% reduction
Fulvic acid itself does not affect hormones and does not act directly on the endocrine system. What it does do is support a process that plays an important indirect role in this: mineral balance. Stress and hormone regulation are highly dependent on minerals. Think of magnesium for relaxation, potassium and sodium for nerve balance, and zinc and selenium for various enzyme and hormone pathways. When these minerals are not sufficiently available at the cellular level, stress responses can occur more easily and recovery processes can slow down. Fulvic acid does not replenish minerals, but it helps the body better absorb and utilize the minerals already present. It keeps minerals small, soluble, and stable, making it easier for them to reach the right place: in and around the cell. In SMPL72, the fulvic acid is also naturally bound to 72 different minerals and trace elements. As a result, the body not only receives support with absorption but also gains direct access to a broad spectrum of minerals needed for stress regulation, energy, signal transmission, and general balance. In practice, many people therefore notice that with a more stable mineral balance, they also experience fewer fluctuations in tension, sensitivity to stimuli, and energy levels. This is not a direct effect of fulvic acid on hormones, but a logical consequence of better mineral dynamics. In short: fulvic acid is not a hormone product or a stress reliever, but it supports the foundation upon which those systems run, namely sufficient and readily available minerals.
Scientific research has shown that the use of fulvic acid can lead to various positive health effects, including improved gut health. This is achieved thanks to the antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties of fulvic acid. Fulvic acid is safe to use and is considered a natural way to detoxify. It has a high binding capacity, which, among other things, neutralizes toxins produced by bacteria (82%) and absorbs heavy metals, nitrates, fluorides, and organic phosphates in our body. Fulvic acid is also capable of neutralizing various concentrations of glyphosate on the bacteria in our gastrointestinal tract, while simultaneously binding essential minerals and releasing them back into our body. This leads to improved nutrient absorption. In addition, fulvic acid can bind mycotoxins from our food, thereby reducing their harmful effects.
Cramps and restless legs are often linked to electrolyte balance, particularly minerals like magnesium, potassium, and calcium. When these minerals are not readily available at the cellular level, muscles can react more quickly, cramp up, or feel "restless." Fulvic acid does not replenish minerals itself, but it can support a crucial step: the absorption and utilization of the minerals already present in your body or those you obtain through your diet. This is because fulvic acid keeps minerals small, soluble, and stable, making it easier for them to reach the cells—the exact place where muscle function is regulated and relaxation occurs. In SMPL72, the fulvic acid is also naturally bound to 72 different minerals and trace elements. As a result, the body not only receives support with absorption but also gains direct access to a broad spectrum of natural minerals that it can utilize wherever needed. It remains important to be realistic: fulvic acid is not a treatment for cramps or restless legs. However, in orthomolecular practice, it is often seen as a logical step to improve mineral availability, which is the very foundation upon which muscle relaxation and nerve balance depend. In short: these issues almost always revolve around minerals, and fulvic acid helps your body make better use of them.
Fulvic acid is not a detox cure, nor is it a substance that "pulls" waste products out of the body. What it does do is support a biochemical process that is important in orthomolecular practice: binding and stabilizing certain particles so that the body can process them more easily through its normal pathways. Fulvic acid naturally has a small molecular size and a strong negative charge. This allows it to temporarily grasp metal ions and other charged particles (chelation). This does not mean that fulvic acid detoxifies on its own, but rather that it gives the body a helping hand in a world where we ingest more substances daily than in the past, simply by making certain particles less reactive and easier to manage. The body always does the actual detox work itself: via the liver, kidneys, bile, intestines, and lymph. Fulvic acid does not change that process, but it can make it biochemically a little easier by supporting binding, stabilization, and transport. In SMPL72, the fulvic acid is also naturally bound to 72 minerals and trace elements. As a result, it not only contributes to a stable mineral balance (an important foundation for recovery and enzyme activity), but it also does not burden the body with extra fillers or synthetic bonds. In short: Fulvic acid is not a detox product, but it can give the body a helping hand in a toxic world, in a natural, gentle, and highly absorbable way.
Absolutely. Chemically speaking, fulvic acid is a molecule that easily binds to other substances, such as minerals and trace elements, at the atomic level. However, it can also bind to heavy metals and other free radicals present in the body. Once bound to fulvic acid, these substances are neutralized and can be naturally eliminated. Therefore, fulvic acid can assist in neutralizing heavy metals.
Fulvic acid is not a fiber, a probiotic, or a substance that directly influences the gut microbiome. What it does do is something important in orthomolecular practice for people with sensitive digestion: pure fulvic acid is absorbed very quickly and therefore barely remains in the gut. Because it does not ferment, does not bind to food residues, and does not create "bulk," fulvic acid generally places less strain on the gastrointestinal tract than many other supplements. This can be beneficial for people who "feel" mineral tablets or complex formulas sitting in their stomach, or who react to supplements that the microbiome must process before the body can use them. In addition, the microbiome plays an indirect role in how well you absorb minerals. When the intestinal wall is sensitive or absorption is inefficient, the body may extract less from food. Fulvic acid does not supplement anything in the gut, but it does help keep the minerals you ingest smaller, soluble, and available. As a result, the gut has to do less "work" to make them usable. In SMPL72, the fulvic acid is naturally bound to 72 minerals and trace elements. Because this form is light, liquid, and immediately absorbable, it is generally well tolerated without burdening the microbiome. In short: fulvic acid is not a gut product, but because it is absorbed quickly and barely taxes the microbiome, it is often a good fit for people with sensitive digestion.
The minerals in fulvic acid are 100% bioactive and therefore fully absorbable. Standard minerals from the drugstore are up to 10,000 times larger than the minerals in fulvic acid, making them very difficult for the body to absorb. They are simply too large to pass through the cell wall.Conventional mineral supplements are manufactured by dissolving minerals in organic acids, such as citric acid. Unfortunately, these minerals only partially dissolve. The majority—up to 95%—does not dissolve properly. These 'fragments' are therefore not bioactive and cannot be absorbed by the body. In fact, the body views these non-absorbable minerals as foreign and toxic. This is precisely why there are always warnings not to exceed the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA). Because fulvic acid is 100% bioactive and absorbable, exceeding the RDA can never be toxic. Fulvic acid, provided it is properly purified and free of heavy metals, is 100% safe. SMPL72 meets these exact standards.
Sports recovery is fundamentally about three things: minerals, acid-base balance, and energy production in the mitochondria. If any of these systems are under pressure, muscles can feel stiffer, recovery takes longer, and fatigue can linger. Fulvic acid is not a sports drink or a quick recovery booster. It does something much more fundamental: it supports the mineral balance that all those recovery processes rely on. During exercise, your body consumes many minerals such as magnesium, potassium, and sodium. These are necessary for muscle contraction, relaxation, nerve signaling, and fluid balance. If these minerals are not readily available at the cellular level, recovery feels slower or more restless. That is where fulvic acid comes in. It helps the body keep minerals in a small, soluble, and stable form. As a result, the minerals from SMPL72—with its 72 natural minerals and trace elements—can pass through the cell wall more easily, right to the place where muscle recovery and energy production take place. In SMPL72, the fulvic acid is also naturally bound to 72 minerals and trace elements. This gives your body direct access to a broad spectrum of minerals without the need to take large volumes or "heavy" supplements. In short: fulvic acid supports the foundation you need for proper recovery: a stable mineral balance and efficient nutrient utilization. That is exactly why it often fits so well alongside exercise, training, and recovery.
Fulvic acid is not a treatment for menopause symptoms. What it can do is support the absorption of minerals and electrolytes and contribute to healthy cellular energy metabolism. During menopause, these processes are often under increased pressure due to hormonal changes and higher stress levels. Many women experience a greater sense of calm and stability as a result, but this varies from person to person and is not a medical claim.
All fulvic acid originates from humus: plant matter broken down by soil organisms. In healthy soil, fulvic acid binds minerals at an atomic level, making them available for plant absorption. Due to modern agricultural practices—such as intensive tilling, synthetic fertilizers, and pesticides—soil life has been severely disrupted worldwide. This has led to a significant decrease in both the quantity and quality of humus and fulvic acid, with many soils now containing almost none at all. Fulvic acid from humus (modern soils): Low and inconsistent quality; Risk of modern contaminants; Dependent on local soil health; Often limited mineral profile due to depleted soils. Fulvic acid from sediment layers (prehistoric deposits): In prehistoric times, plants were able to grow, die, and accumulate over thousands of years, sometimes forming layers tens of meters thick. A small portion of these ancient humus layers has been preserved through geological processes. Consequently, fulvic acid from sediment layers is often: much richer in minerals; more consistent in composition; naturally free from modern pollution; and derived from a period when plants were 20–35 times larger and soils were extremely rich in humus. In short: the difference is not in the molecule itself, but in the quality of the source. Modern humus is depleted, whereas preserved sediment layers contain fulvic acid from a time when soils were exceptionally rich.
Fulvic acid is not an “active ingredient” like caffeine or a painkiller. You won’t feel it immediately because it doesn’t do anything to your body; rather, it helps your body utilize minerals more effectively. Think of it as a facilitator—a quiet but essential helper working in the background. How well it works varies from person to person because everyone starts from a different “baseline.” The differences usually come down to five factors: 1. Your mineral reserves: If your levels are low, you’ll often notice a difference sooner. If your reserves are already quite good, the effects will be more subtle. 2. Your diet: If you eat a varied diet, fulvic acid has more to work with. If your diet is limited, it will take longer. 3. Hydration: Your cells need water to transport minerals. If you don’t drink enough, everything slows down. 4. Frequency of use: Fulvic acid works best when taken daily, as it supports a process rather than providing a quick “shot.” 5. Duration of use: Some people feel a change within a few days, while others don’t notice it for several weeks. This says nothing about its effectiveness, but everything about your starting point. In SMPL72, the fulvic acid is also naturally bound to 72 minerals and trace elements, giving your body a broad foundation to work with immediately—though here, too, your body’s reaction depends on your own unique situation. In short: fulvic acid is not a supplement you “feel,” but a biochemical helper. The effect depends on what your body needs at that moment and how well-stocked your foundation is.
No, fulvic acid does not lower your cholesterol. It is not a medication and does not work like statins or other cholesterol-lowering drugs. What fulvic acid does do is give your body a helping hand in areas where cholesterol levels are often disrupted: energy, mineral balance, and the removal of waste products. Cholesterol levels don't just rise on their own; your body produces extra when you are under stress, have minor inflammation, or when cells are unable to repair themselves properly. Fulvic acid can help keep your cells calmer and "cleaner," which reduces the pressure on your body. However, it does not change your cholesterol numbers themselves. Do not view fulvic acid as a cholesterol-lowering agent, but rather as daily support for your cells. It is not a substitute for medication or lifestyle changes.
Minerals are only fully absorbed by the body when they come from plants. Plants cannot produce minerals themselves (though they do produce vitamins and other compounds), but instead extract them from the soil through their roots. Minerals from other sources are far too large to be properly absorbed by the body, let alone delivered to the cells (where they are needed). Only plants can take these so-called metallic minerals from the soil and convert them into a form small enough for the human body.
Our fruits and vegetables no longer contain the vitamins and minerals we need on a daily basis. Our produce has become depleted. Fulvic acid compensates for this poor food quality. Even if you eat organic, you aren't getting enough. Organic farmers focus on avoiding pesticides rather than enriching the soil with minerals and fulvic acid. That is a great step, of course, but it isn't enough. The foundation of nutrient-rich produce is the soil in which it is grown. Read our blog if you want to learn more about that. Fulvic acid is missing from our diet due to modern agricultural techniques. Unfortunately, the importance of microorganisms is still not fully recognized. Industrial agriculture uses toxins that kill these microorganisms, disrupting the healthy biological balance and causing the organisms that produce fulvic acid to disappear. Pesticides kill insects as well as the microorganisms that produce fulvic acid. As a result, we are missing not only the fulvic acid itself in our food, but also the natural transport mechanism that helps minerals enter our cells. Without fulvic acid, many minerals get stuck in the "wrong" parts of the body and fail to reach the cell wall effectively. Fulvic acid doesn't just supplement a deficiency in our diet; it primarily ensures that the minerals you do consume actually become usable at the cellular level.
Fulvic acid transports nutrients directly into the cell and can also immediately remove toxic substances. Think of it as a garbage collector and a mail carrier in one. As a garbage collector, fulvic acid binds toxins and heavy metals. It is a powerful detoxifying agent, which, in our current times with all the toxins in our environment, should be an essential part of our diet. Toxic substances are thoroughly and effectively removed by fulvic acid, making it a highly sought-after and exceptional nutritional supplement. Fulvic acid also acts as a mail carrier: it delivers nutrients into the cell. The cell is where it all happens. It is where energy is produced, along with proteins, enzymes, and all other substances the cell requires. While some studies focus on absorption into the bloodstream, that is not what matters; what counts is cellular uptake. Thanks to its structure—often called Nature's Miracle Molecule—and its very small molecular size, fulvic acid can easily pass through the cell wall and enter the cell. Once inside, it releases the nutrients, making them immediately available for metabolic processes.
Fulvic acid occurs in nature when plant matter decomposes over a very long period. This can happen in surface soil layers, but also deep underground in ancient sediment layers. The difference between these two sources determines almost the entire quality range on the market. Fulvic acid from surface layers is more often affected by modern influences such as agriculture, pollution, or variations in soil quality. Fulvic acid from deep sediment layers is millions of years old, has been completely sealed off from the modern environment, and is therefore naturally cleaner and more consistent in composition. SMPL72 works exclusively with fulvic acid from such a deep, sealed sediment layer. As a result, the source is free from recent contaminants and provides a much more stable and cleaner foundation for further purification and quality control.
The quality of fulvic acid is not determined by the label, but by its source, purification process, and rigorous testing for composition and contaminants. Fulvic acid can be sourced from surface layers (which vary greatly in quality) or from deep, sealed sediment layers (which are much more stable and naturally cleaner). The best fulvic acid meets three criteria: 1. it comes from a sealed, ancient sediment source free from modern pollution; 2. it is purified without the use of chemical extraction agents; 3. every batch is independently tested for heavy metals, pesticides, microbiology, and purity. SMPL72 meets this highest standard. Our fulvic acid is sourced from a sediment layer millions of years old, is naturally bonded to 72 minerals and trace elements, is purified using pure water, and is fully traceable by batch. Furthermore, production is GMP-certified and overseen by the Natural Products Association, the oldest quality organization for natural products. In practice, this means the minerals in SMPL72 are smaller, more stable, and more bioavailable, ensuring that the quality and composition are identical in every bottle. This is exactly what distinguishes a high-quality fulvic acid supplement from alternatives where origin and purity are less strictly controlled.
People often get some minerals from various sources, but usually not enough. Furthermore, they are often poorly absorbed by the digestive system. It is important to realize that most supplements are synthetic, and in the case of minerals, they are essentially just rock. These contain large molecules that your body can barely absorb, if at all. We have previously written a blog post about the ins and outs of supplementation; feel free to check out our blog section. You might already be taking magnesium or zinc, but keep in mind that you are only taking one or two of the 60 minerals your body needs every day. When you think in terms of a complementary approach, you cannot simply pick one mineral out of the entire spectrum.
There are a number of things you should pay close attention to when purchasing fulvic acid: The geological history of the source. What has the source experienced throughout its prehistoric existence? The more it has been through, the richer the source. Geologically speaking, SMPL72 has the ideal history and is very rich in minerals and other micronutrients. A total of 72 minerals, 18 amino acids, 15 organic acids, and 5 vitamins. The age of the source. Not too young, as it will be less rich, but not too old either, as the quality will be lost. SMPL72 comes from a 32-million-year-old source—not too young, but certainly not too old. The purification process. Are chemicals and high pressure used, or only low-tech filtration techniques like those used for SMPL72? In this process, the raw material is placed in large silos with pure water and filtered over a period of 2 years until pure, concentrated fulvic acid remains. Purity. Some sources are heavily contaminated with heavy metals. SMPL72 contains no heavy metals. Concentration. To what extent is the final product diluted? Many fulvic acid products are highly diluted. SMPL72 is the most concentrated. Certification. To what extent does the fulvic acid meet the highest standards, such as FDA approved, GMP, non-GMO, Halal, Kosher, etc.? SMPL72 has every conceivable certification. In practice, it is not easy to find this information for every product. The best approach is to compare them using an independent lab test. We have compared SMPL72 with other providers here.
Yes! Fortunately, humans are brilliantly designed to function for a while without them before everything falls apart. But not forever! It is much better to simply get your minerals every day. And with our fulvic acid, that is thankfully very easy.
Many fulvic acid products are contaminated with heavy metals such as cadmium, mercury, lead, and arsenic. By law, these heavy metals should not be present in fulvic acid, but current oversight is insufficient. Products from China and India, in particular, are often contaminated or inadequately purified. SMPL72 is guaranteed to be free of heavy metals and meets the highest standards for human consumption.
What you need to know is that SMPL72 contains plant-based minerals, not synthetic ones. The difference is that plant-based minerals are up to 10,000 times smaller, making them 100% absorbable and safe, whereas synthetic minerals are not. If a substance cannot be absorbed, the body views it as a foreign object and potentially toxic. This is why synthetic mineral supplements carry warnings not to exceed the recommended daily intake, as doing so overloads the body.Aluminum, for example, is toxic if it cannot be absorbed by the body, even though it is one of the most abundant minerals in nature. It is literally everywhere, including in plants. However, aluminum absorbed by plants becomes a plant-based mineral, making it 100% absorbable and completely harmless. In fact, you actually need it. And that applies to all minerals.We humans are made from the 'dust of the earth.' Ideally, what you find in the soil should be found in roughly the same proportions in the body. That is why you need all 72 minerals in the ratios that Mother Nature intended. And that is exactly what SMPL72 provides.SMPL72 meets all legal requirements and has also been awarded a range of prestigious certifications.
The environment in which fulvic acid is formed determines its quality. The purer and more nutrient-rich the plants processed into humus, the more potent the fulvic acid. All types of fulvic acid contain electrolytes, trace elements, and minerals. SMPL fulvic acid actually contains 116 different nutrients: 9 macromolecules, 10 trace minerals, 57 trace elements, 18 amino acids, 17 organic acids, and 5 vitamins. If you are planning to use fulvic acid, it is helpful to know what to look for to assess its quality. Look at the concentration, for example. Percentages can range from 4% to over 10%. SMPL minerals have the highest percentages and are GMP certified, one of the highest standards in the production of supplements and other products. The certification was carried out in collaboration with an independent auditing party and the Natural Products Association, the most renowned organization in the field of natural supplements, active since 1936. As such, it has also been tested and compared with other providers on the market. In these comparisons, our fulvic acid comes out on top. See the comparison below.
Because we guarantee the highest quality, independently tested. We ensure that you are not purchasing fulvic acid sourced from potentially contaminated soil. Our products are extracted from a unique soil layer dating back tens of millions of years. This layer was formed by the fusion of freshwater and oceanic sediment, where immense prehistoric plants once thrived. These plants developed deep roots that reached into the depths of the earth, absorbing an abundance of nutrients. This created a rich humus, infused with countless undisturbed life cycles, resulting in a concentrated variety of organic acid molecules. What makes our SMPL72 fulvic acid complex unique is its mineral and organic acid profile, which differs significantly from fulvic acids extracted from younger sources. Its complexity is so great that it cannot be synthesized or replicated through reverse engineering.
After the raw material is extracted from our mine, it is 'washed' in pure water and filtered for two years. We take great care and plenty of time to ensure the delicate material is preserved. The end result is a pure liquid with an exceptionally high concentration of fulvic acid (12-18%).
We are sometimes asked exactly how much of each mineral is in our fulvic acid. We are happy to explain. Mineral concentrations in fulvic acid are measured in ppm (parts per million). While that sounds very precise, in practice, it says little about what happens in your body. Fulvic acid does not work on a "more is better" principle; rather, it acts as a transport mechanism, making minerals from your diet more available to your cells. Therefore, what matters for your health is not the quantity in ppm, but how well your body can absorb it. Furthermore, trace elements function in the body in extremely small concentrations; many of these minerals are effective even in nanomolar amounts. A ppm value therefore says nothing about actual bioavailability or efficacy. What does matter is: our fulvic acid contains 72 natural minerals, all batches are independently tested, all values are well below strict EU safety standards, and you can find that information clearly laid out in our Quality & Safety Summary. The exact ppm values are technical, irrelevant to consumers, and proprietary. We therefore choose to be transparent where it counts: safety, purity, and bioavailability.
This varies from person to person and depends primarily on your starting point. Fulvic acid supports the absorption and bioavailability of the minerals you already get through your diet or supplements. The faster your body responds to that improved availability, the sooner you will notice a difference. People with low mineral levels or higher requirements often experience changes sooner than those who are already well-nourished. Some users notice more clarity or a calmer energy level within a few days, while for others, it happens more gradually over a period of weeks. In SMPL72, the fulvic acid is naturally bound to 72 different minerals and trace elements. The most important thing is consistency: fulvic acid doesn't act as a quick stimulant, but as a daily absorption mechanism that builds its effect step by step.
Yes. Fulvic acid is safe for daily use and has been used in orthomolecular practice for years. However, there is a difference in quality. That is why SMPL72 chooses an exceptionally high standard. Our fulvic acid fraction comes from a sealed, millions-of-years-old sediment layer, a source that is naturally free from modern pollution such as agricultural residues or heavy metals. Every batch of SMPL72 is subsequently tested for:- heavy metals- pesticides- microbiology- purity- stability- oxidationAnd is produced according to:- GMP- HACCP -ISO- GMPIn addition, SMPL72 is:- kosher- halal- vegan- and our production is affiliated with the Natural Products Association (NPA), the oldest quality organization in the sector (since 1936).In short: fulvic acid is safe, and SMPL72 meets the highest international quality standards. This allows you to use it daily with confidence
Fulvic acid is safe to use and is considered a natural way to detoxify. In general, fulvic acid is considered safe for most people. Very rarely, it may cause some mild stomach discomfort in some individuals. But don't worry, this is usually short-lived. Please note: fulvic acid is also a social butterfly; it can interact with certain medications you are taking because it increases their absorption. Read our blog about the science behind fulvic acid.
Yes, that works perfectly. In fact, in orthomolecular practice, fulvic acid is often used alongside other supplements because it supports the step that many people struggle with: absorption and utilization. Minerals like magnesium, zinc, calcium, and selenium have one thing in common: they must reach the cell in a soluble, small, and stable form to do their job. In practice, this doesn't always happen effectively. Many mineral supplements are relatively large, form compounds in the gut, or are not absorbed efficiently. Fulvic acid doesn't change the amount of minerals you take, but it can help with: -keeping mineral ions small and soluble -transporting them to the cell -reducing competition between minerals -improving bioavailability. This makes fulvic acid a kind of "synergy factor": it supports how minerals behave in the body without adding a high dose itself. In SMPL72, the fulvic acid is also naturally bound to 72 minerals and trace elements. This gives the body direct access to a broad spectrum that works well with other supplements. In short: you can safely combine SMPL72 fulvic acid with other supplements, and in many cases, it works even better together than separately.
Do you eat little or no meat? Be aware that when people consume large amounts of soy products (often mistakenly viewed by vegetarians as a healthy meat substitute), the absorption of minerals by our digestive system is hindered. Our digestive system is where minerals from our food are absorbed, and there are many types of diseases that can sabotage this process. Fulvic acid is a wonderful solution for this, because its powerful detoxifying properties help our entire body—including our gut—function better.
That depends heavily on the concentration. Many fulvic acid products are highly diluted, meaning you need to take much more to get the right dosage. This, along with quality, purity, and certifications, explains the price differences. SMPL72 fulvic acid is the most concentrated on the market, so you only need 7 to 10 drops per day. For children, the dosage is 1 drop per day per 10 kilograms of body weight. Feel free to increase the dose during illness or intense physical exertion. If you are pregnant or taking medication, build up the dose gradually and monitor how your body reacts. When in doubt, consult your doctor or midwife.
It varies:• For maximum absorption: 30 minutes before a meal• For an energetic start to the day: in the morning on an empty stomach• For recovery: immediately after exercise or physical exertionBut the most important thing is that you take it, not when you take it.
Fulvic acid does not act as a stimulant or a “feel-good supplement.” Instead, it primarily improves the absorption and availability of minerals at a cellular level. The results people experience are therefore a direct consequence of the body finally being able to better utilize the minerals it is already receiving. Commonly reported experiences include: -more stable energy throughout the day -a clearer head or less “brain fog” -better electrolyte balance (fewer fluctuations) -reduced muscle and nerve tension -less need for caffeine or other “stimulants” -faster recovery after physical exertion -a more consistent mood with fewer “ups and downs” These are not promises, but common reactions that occur when mineral balance improves. In SMPL72, the fulvic acid is naturally bonded to 72 different minerals and trace elements. This provides the body with not only support for absorption but also direct access to a broad spectrum of bioavailable minerals. The most important thing to know: fulvic acid works daily and subtly. It is not a quick “boost,” but a stable foundation. How noticeable the effects are depends on your baseline levels, diet, hydration, and lifestyle.
Usually not. SMPL72 fulvic acid naturally contains 72 minerals and trace elements that are already bound to the fulvic acid. This provides you with a full spectrum of minerals, while the fulvic acid simultaneously helps make them more easily absorbable. In many electrolyte mixes, the minerals are present, but only a portion actually reaches the cell. SMPL72 bridges that gap: it delivers the minerals while supporting their absorption at the same time. This is why many users find they no longer need separate electrolytes when using SMPL72 daily. It is not a sports drink, but it does cover the needs that people try to address with electrolytes.
Fulvic acid has a very mild, almost neutral taste. Most people barely notice it when they add a few drops to a glass of water. Some describe it as having a very light mineral flavor, but you usually only notice it if you are really paying attention. SMPL72 is pure fulvic acid with no additives, which keeps the taste soft, clean, and subtle. You don't need to worry about a bitter, sharp, or "muddy" taste, which is common in impure or thick humic products.Most users find that it simply tastes like water with a very faint hint of minerality. This makes it easy to use every day, even for children or people who are sensitive to strong flavors. It is best to take SMPL fulvic acid in a glass of chlorine-free water. Fruit juice is also an option, but avoid hot drinks. It is very easy to use.
Anything the body cannot absorb is seen as a foreign substance and is potentially harmful or pathogenic. SMPL72 is 100% absorbable and therefore very safe. It meets the highest standards for purity and contamination. However, SMPL72 has never been officially tested on pregnant women. Use during pregnancy is therefore at your own risk.
Yes, that is possible, but it is always wise to consult your doctor first. SMPL72 improves the absorption of nutrients. In theory, it could also improve the absorption of medication. On the other hand, SMPL72 is also a powerful detox and could, in theory, neutralize substances such as medication. In short, SMPL72 may affect the effectiveness of medication, so we always advise you to consult your doctor first.
Absolutely! Just adjust the dosage according to body weight. Approximately 1 drop per 10 kilos of body weight per day. Not because more would be harmful, but because it’s unnecessary and therefore a waste of money.
Add 7-10 drops daily to a glass of (chlorine-free) water (fruit juice is also an option, but avoid hot drinks). For children: 1 drop per 10 kg of body weight. Feel free to increase the dose during illness or intense physical exertion. For maximum absorption: take 30 minutes before a meal. For an energetic start to the day: take in the morning on an empty stomach. For recovery: take immediately after sports or physical exertion. SMPL72 is a powerful detox, so be sure to drink plenty of water. If you are pregnant or taking medication, build up the dose gradually and monitor how your body reacts. When in doubt, consult your doctor or midwife.
Yes. Fulvic acid does not act on the immune system itself. It is not an immune stimulant, nor does it "boost" your defenses the way some herbs might. Fulvic acid does something quite different—and much more gentle: it simply helps make minerals more bioavailable, so your body can use them more easily. This is a fundamental process that everyone—with or without an autoimmune condition—relies on. Especially with autoimmune issues, the body can often be a bit more sensitive to new things. That is why we always offer two simple pieces of advice: 1. Start slowly. For example, with a half or even a quarter dose. There is no need to start at full strength. 2. Listen to your body. Does it feel right? Then you can gradually increase the amount. In SMPL72, the fulvic acid is also bound to 72 natural minerals and trace elements, with no synthetic additives. It is liquid, easily digestible, and generally well-tolerated—even by those with sensitive health. In short: fulvic acid does not interfere with your immune system; it simply supports the foundation your body runs on anyway: proper mineral availability.
