frequently asked questions about our fulvic acid

All fulvic acid originates from humus: plant remains that are broken down by soil life. In healthy soil, fulvic acid binds minerals at the atomic level so that plants can absorb them.

Modern agricultural practices (intensive processing, fertilizer, pesticides) have severely disrupted soil life worldwide. This creates much less humus and fulvic acid, and its quality is often low. In fact, fulvic acid is hardly present in many soils anymore.

Fulvic acid from humus (modern soils)

• Low and varying quality
• Risk of modern contaminants
• Depends on local soil health
• Often limited mineral profile due to depleted soils

Fulvic acid from sediment layers (prehistoric deposits)

In prehistoric times, plants could grow, die and re-accumulate for thousands of years — sometimes into layers that were tens of meters thick. A small part of these old humus layers has been preserved through geological processes.

That is why fulvic acid from sediment layers is often:

• much richer in minerals,
• more constant in composition,
• naturally free from modern pollution,
• 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, but in the quality of the source: modern humus is depleted; preserved sediment layers contain fulvic acid from a time when soils were still exceptionally rich.

Fulvic acid is not a treatment for menopausal symptoms.

What it can do is support the absorption of minerals and electrolytes and contribute to healthy energy management in the cells. Especially during the transition, these processes are more often under pressure due to hormonal changes and higher stress levels.

As a result, many women experience more basic rest and stability, but this varies from person to person and is not a medical claim.

The minerals in fulvic acid are 100% bioactive and therefore fully absorbable. Ordinary pharmacy minerals are up to 10,000 times larger than the minerals in fulvic acid. That is why they can be very poorly absorbed by the body. They are simply too big to pass through the cell wall.
‍

Ordinary mineral supplements are made in the factory by dissolving the minerals in organic acids such as citric acid. Unfortunately, these minerals only partially dissolve. Most of them - up to 95%, do not resolve properly. These “debris” are therefore not bio-active and cannot be absorbed by the body. In fact, the body sees these non-absorbable minerals as foreign and toxic. This is also the reason why you are always warned not to exceed the RDA. Because fulvic acid is 100% bioactive and absorbable, exceeding the RDA can never be toxic. Fulvic acid, when properly purified and free of heavy metals, is 100% safe. SMPL72 meets exactly this requirement.

Yes, definitely. From a chemical point of view, fulvic acid is a molecule that binds very easily to other (food) substances such as minerals and trace elements at the atomic level. But it can also bind to heavy metals and other free radicals that are present in the body. Once bound to fulvic acid, these substances can no longer be harmful and can be removed naturally. Fulvic acid can therefore help neutralize heavy metals.

No, fulvic acid does not lower your cholesterol. It is not a medicine and does not work like statins or other cholesterol lowering drugs.
What fulvic acid does do is help your body in places where cholesterol often disrupts: energy, mineral balance and cleaning up waste products.
After all, cholesterol doesn't just rise.

Your body produces it extra when:
- there is stress,
- there are minor inflammations,
- or when cells are unable to recover properly.

Fulvic acid can help keep your cells calmer and “tidier”, so that your body experiences less pressure.
But it doesn't change the cholesterol number itself.
So don't see fulvic acid as a cholesterol lowering agent, but as a daily support for your cells.

‍

Basically, sports recovery is about three things:
minerals, acid-base balance and energy production in the mitochondria.
When one of those systems is under pressure, muscles can feel stiffer, recovery takes more time, and fatigue can last longer.
‍

Fulvic acid is not a sports drink and not a quick recovery booster.
It does something much more fundamental: it supports the mineral balance that runs all those recovery processes. During exercise, your body consumes a lot of minerals such as magnesium, potassium and sodium. These are necessary for muscle contraction, relaxation, nerve signals and fluid balance. When these minerals are not readily available at the cellular level, recovery feels slower or more restless.

‍
That's where fulvic acid comes into the picture.
It helps the body keep the minerals in a small, soluble and stable form. This makes it easier for the minerals in SMPL72 - with its natural 72 minerals and trace elements - to pass through the cell wall, exactly where muscle recovery and energy production take place.
In SMPL72, fulvic acid is also naturally bound to 72 minerals and trace elements. This gives your body immediate access to a broad spectrum of minerals, without having to take large volumes or “heavy” supplements.

‍
In short:
fulvic acid supports the basis you need to recover properly: a stable mineral balance and efficient use of nutrients.
That is exactly why it often fits so well with exercise, training and recovery.

‍

Fulvic acid is not an “active substance” like caffeine or a pain reliever. You don't feel it right away because it's nothing maketh to your body, it helps your body to make better use of minerals.

You can think of it as a facilitator, a kind of silent but necessary helper in the background.
How well that works varies from person to person, because everyone has a different “starting position”.

The differences usually lie in five things:

1. Your mineral supply
If you are low in minerals, you will often notice a difference more quickly.
If your stock is already good, things are subtler.

2. Your food
If you eat a varied diet, fulvic acid has more to work with.
If you eat unilaterally, it will take longer.

3. Hydration
Your cells need water to move minerals.
If you drink little, everything slows down.

4. How often you use it
Fulvic acid works best if you use it every day, because it supports a process, does not give a “shot”.

5. How long you use it
Some people feel a change within a few days, others only after a few weeks.
That says nothing about how it works, but everything about your starting point.

In SMPL72, fulvic acid is also naturally bound to 72 minerals and trace elements, which immediately gives your body a broad basis to work with, but here too: how your body reacts depends on your own situation.

In short:
fulvic acid is not a sensory supplement, but a biochemical helper.
The effect depends on what your body needs at that moment and how well your base is filled.

‍

Yes. Fulvic acid does not act on the immune system itself. It is not an immunostimulant, nor does it “push” your immune system up, like some herbs can do.
Fulvic acid does something completely different — and much quieter:
it only helps to make minerals more available so that your body can use them more easily. This is a basic process that everyone — with or without an autoimmune disorder — depends on.
‍
Especially with autoimmune symptoms, you often see that the body reacts more sensitively to new things. That's why we always give two simple advice:
1. Start slowly.
For example, with half or even a quarter dose. You don't have to start from scratch right away.
2. Listen to your body.
Does it feel good? Then you can build up slowly. Do you react sensitively to something? Then you can simply lower the amount.
In SMPL72, fulvic acid is also bound to 72 natural minerals and trace elements without synthetic additives. It is liquid, easy to digest and generally easy to tolerate, even by people with sensitive health.
‍
In short:
fulvic acid does not interfere with your immune system, but only supports the foundation your body runs on anyway: good mineral availability

‍

Cramps and restless legs are often related to electrolyte balance, especially with minerals such as magnesium, potassium and calcium. When these minerals are not readily available at the cellular level, muscles can react more quickly, cramp, or feel “agitated”.
Fulvic acid does not supplement minerals, but it can support an important step: the absorption and utilization of the minerals that are already present in your body or that you get through food.
This is because fulvic acid keeps minerals small, soluble and stable, making it easier for them to reach the cell, exactly where muscles are controlled and relaxation takes place. In SMPL72, fulvic acid is also naturally bound to 72 different minerals and trace elements. As a result, the body not only gets absorption support, but also direct access to a broad spectrum of natural minerals that it can use itself where necessary. It remains important to be realistic:
fulvic acid is not a treatment for cramps or restless legs. But within orthomolecular practice, it is often seen as a logical step to improve mineral availability, and that is exactly the foundation on which muscle relaxation and nerve balance run. In short:
these complaints are almost always about minerals, and fulvic acid helps your body make better use of those minerals.

‍

Fulvic acid is neither a detox cure nor a remedy that “removes” waste products from 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 via normal routes.
Fulvic acid naturally has a small molecular size and a strong negative charge. This allows it to temporarily capture metal ions and other charged particles (chelation). This does not mean that fulvic acid itself detoxifies, but that it helps the body in a world where we consume more substances every day than before, simply by making certain particles less reactive and more manageable. The body always does the actual detox work itself: via liver, kidneys, bile, intestines and lymph. Fulvic acid does not change that process, but can make it just a little bit easier biochemically by binding, stabilizing and supporting transport. In SMPL72, 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 additional fillers or synthetic bonds. In short:
Fulvic acid is not a detox product, but it can help the body in a toxic world in a natural, light and easily absorbable way.

‍

Fulvic acid is not a fiber, a probiotic, and not an agent that directly affects the intestinal microbiome. What it does do is something that is important in orthomolecular practice for people with a sensitive digestive system: pure fulvic acid is absorbed very quickly and therefore hardly remains in the intestine. Because it does not ferment, does not bind to food residues and does not form “bulk”, fulvic acid usually puts less strain on the gastrointestinal system than many other supplements. This can be useful for people who “get used” to mineral tablets or complex formulas quickly or who react to supplements that need to process the microbiome before the body can use them. In addition, the microbiome indirectly plays a role in how well you absorb minerals. When the intestinal wall is sensitive or absorption is not efficient, the body can get 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 intestine has to do less “work” to make it usable. In SMPL72, fulvic acid is naturally bound to 72 minerals and trace elements. Because this form is light, fluid and immediately absorbable, it is generally well tolerated without harming the microbiome.
In short: fulvic acid is not an intestinal product, but because it is absorbed quickly and hardly burdens the microbiome, it is often a good fit for people with a sensitive digestive system.

‍

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 indirectly plays an important role in this: mineral management.
Stress and hormone regulation are highly dependent on minerals. Think magnesium for relaxation, potassium and sodium for nerve balance, and zinc and selenium for various enzyme and hormone pathways. When these minerals are not available at the cellular level, stress reactions can occur more quickly and recovery processes run slower.
Fulvic acid does not supplement minerals, but helps the body to better absorb and utilize the minerals present. It keeps minerals small, soluble and stable, making it easier for them to get to the right place: in and around the cell. In SMPL72, fulvic acid is also naturally bound to 72 different minerals and trace elements. As a result, the body not only receives absorption support, but also direct access to a broad spectrum of minerals that are necessary for stress regulation, energy, signal transmission and overall 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 and not a stress inhibitor, but it supports the foundation on which these systems run: sufficient and readily available minerals.

‍

Most of the time, no.
SMPL72 fulvic acid naturally contains 72 minerals and trace elements that are already bound to fulvic acid. As a result, you get a full spectrum of minerals, and fulvic acid helps to make them immediately more absorbable.
Many electrolyte mixes do contain the minerals, but only part of them actually end up in the cell. SMPL72 closes that gap: it provides the minerals and supports absorption at the same time.
That's why many users find that they no longer need separate electrolytes when they use SMPL72 on a daily basis. It is not a sports drink, but it does cover the needs that people are trying to fill with electrolytes.

‍

Fulvic acid is neither an energy booster nor a drug that has an immediate effect on fatigue or concentration. What it does do is something more fundamental: it supports how your body can absorb and utilize minerals.
And it is precisely that point, the use of minerals, that plays a bigger role for many people than they think. Fatigue, a “foggy head” and concentration problems often have several causes at the same time, but in orthomolecular practice, it is often seen that mineral balance and electrolyte balance are an important factor in this.

Minerals are needed for processes such as:

- transmission of signals in the nervous system
- energy production in the mitochondria
- oxygen transport
- fluid balance in and around the cell
- enzyme action that is involved in focus, alertness and metabolism.

If these minerals are not sufficiently available at the cellular level, the body can carry out these processes less efficiently. Fulvic acid can't solve that, but it makes minerals chemically smaller, more soluble and more accessible to the body. As a result, the minerals you get through food or supplements can be better used where they are needed.

As a result, many users experience a more stable energy level, more clarity or fewer fluctuations throughout the day. Not because fulvic acid provides an immediate stimulus, but because minerals can do their job better. This is an essentially 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 problems. It only supports the biological foundation on which energy, clarity and nerve function run. Of course, what someone notices about this also depends on nutrition, hydration, lifestyle and individual needs.

‍

Humic acid is large-molecular → remains mainly in the intestine. Soil life (bacteria, earthworms, moles and everything in between) digests plant residues and this is how humus is created. Humic acid is produced in humus.

‍
Fulvic acid is derived from humic acid and is very small in molecular weight, water-soluble and 100% absorbable in cells → binds very easily to minerals and other nutrients, but also to free radicals and heavy metals in the body, making them chemically harmless. In short, fulvic acid is a mailman and garbage collector in one. All the way to the cells.

‍

Fulvic acid is a natural compound that is created when plant material is converted into minerals 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 absorb and use them better.
The crux is simple:
Fulvic acid makes minerals smaller, more soluble and therefore more absorbable at the cellular level.
It supports exactly the process where many people get stuck: you ingest something, but it barely ends up in the cell, while that's where the energy production and recovery processes take place.
That is why fulvic acid is often used in situations where there is:
decreased uptake,
a higher mineral requirement,
or electrolyte imbalance.
Orthomolecular, it is not an “extra supplement”, but an uptake enhancer that ensures that the minerals you already take are actually used

Minerals are only fully absorbed by the body if they come from plants. Plants cannot make minerals themselves (they can produce vitamins and other substances), but they extract them from the soil via the roots. Minerals from other sources are far too large to be properly absorbed by the body, let alone delivered to cells (where they are needed). Only plants can absorb these - also known as metallic minerals - from the soil in a form that is small enough for the human body.

Our fruits and vegetables no longer contain the minerals and vitamins we need every day. Our vegetables have become empty. Fulvic acid compensates for our poor food quality. Even if you eat organic food, you are not getting enough. Organic farmers do not enrich the soil with minerals and fulvic acid, but above all do not spray pesticides. A big step, of course, but not enough. The basis of rich vegetables is the soil on which they are grown. Read our blog if you want to know more about it. Fulvic acid is missing from our diet due to modern agricultural techniques. Unfortunately, the importance of micro-organisms is still not sufficiently understood. In industrial agriculture, toxins are used that kill microorganisms. This puts the healthy biological balance out of balance and the fulvic acid-making organisms disappear. Pesticides kill insects and fulvic acid-producing microorganisms. And that is precisely why not only the fulvic acid itself is missing in our food, but also the natural transport mechanism that helps minerals into the cell. Because without fulvic acid, many minerals get stuck in the “wrong” compartments of the body and do not reach the cell wall optimally.
Fulvic acid therefore not only fills a shortage in our food, it mainly ensures that the minerals you do ingest are actually usable at the cellular level.

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 many substances that are released from rocks over time. The composition varies by region, season and processing method, and can include dozens of different compounds. As a result, quality and purity vary considerably. Fulvic acid, on the other hand, is one specific, low-molecular fraction from this wider group of humic substances. It is chemically well-defined, water-soluble and is known for its ability to bind minerals and make them more available to the body. Many people use shilajit to ingest fulvic acid, but the amount of fulvic acid in shilajit is never guaranteed. That is exactly why SMPL72 works with pure fulvic acid. An independent analysis found that SMPL72 contains three times as much fulvic acid as shilajit, plus dozens of additional minerals and trace elements. In addition, SMPL72 is purified with pure water instead of chemically extracted.
Quality control also varies considerably. SMPL72 is GMP certified, the strictest international standard for identity, composition, purity and production control. The audit is carried out 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 varying composition. Fulvic acid is a pure, well-defined substance. And SMPL72 is at the highest level of concentration, control, and reliability within that category.

Thanks to scientific research, it is known that the use of fulvic acid can lead to many positive health effects, including improved gut health. This is achieved thanks to the antibacterial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties of fulvic acid. The use of fulvic acid is safe to use and is seen as a natural way of detoxifying.

Fulvic acid has a high binding capacity, which, among other things, has a neutralizing effect on toxins produced by bacteria (82%) and absorbs heavy metals, nitrate, fluorides and organic phosphate in our body. Fulvic acid is also able to neutralize different concentrations of glyphosphate on the bacteria in our gastrointestinal tract and can actually bind and release the minerals that are important to us and deliver them back to our body. This ensures an improved absorption of the nutrients.

In addition, fulvic acid is able to bind mycotoxins from our food, reducing their harmful effect.

‍Fulvic acid transports nutrients directly into the cell and can also remove toxins directly. So a garbage collector and mailman in one. Fulvine is like a garbage collector: it binds toxins and heavy metals. It is a strong detoxifying agent, which, in times like ours, should be a very essential part of our diet, with all the toxins in our environment. Toxic substances are removed thoroughly and very effectively by fulvic acid, which makes fulvic acid a highly sought after and special food supplement.

Fulvic acid is also a mailman: it brings nutrients into the cell. It happens in the cell. In the cell, energy is produced and proteins and enzymes and all other substances that the cell needs are produced. Studies sometimes talk about blood recordings, but that is not relevant. It's about cell uptake. Thanks to its structure (Nature's Miracle Molecule) and because it is a very small molecule, fulvic acid can easily pass through the cell wall and end up in the cell. Inside the cell, she releases the nutrients that are directly available for the metabolic processes.

‍Every person needs at least 60 minerals. That's two thirds (!) of a total of 90 essential nutrients that a person cannot live without. That actually shows how important they are. Minerals are like the spark plugs for all your body systems. Without them, they simply won't work and you don't have to have a lot of imagination to imagine what that means.

Plants are the only right source of minerals for humans because only plants can absorb minerals from the soil into such small particles that they are fully absorbable by humans at the cellular level. Plants are therefore only as good as the soil in which they grow. And therein lies the problem. Worldwide, our farmland has become completely depleted and contains almost no minerals. Through intensive and mechanized agriculture. Because the minerals are no longer in the soil, they are no longer in the plants (and animals) and we are therefore no longer able to ingest them in sufficient quantities.

Yes, definitely. Soil depletion analyses are confirmed by: ‍

• World Health Organization
• UNICEF
• British Department of Agriculture
• British Royal Society of Chemistry

These studies show that soil depletion is a global problem:

• North America - 85% Reduction
• South America - 76% Reduction
• Asia - 76% Reduction
• Africa - 74% Reduction
• Europe - 72% Reduction
• Australia - 55% Reduction

It is often the case that people get some minerals from various sources into their bodies. But not enough. And besides, they are often very poorly absorbed by the intestinal system. Realize that most supplements are synthetic and, in the case of minerals, just rock. With large molecules that your body can hardly or hardly absorb. We have previously written a blog about the how and why of supplementation. Be sure to check out our blogs. You may already be taking magnesium or zinc. But realize that by doing so, you are only taking one or two minerals out of the 60 that your body needs every day. And that if you think complementary, you can't take a mineral from the entire spectrum. ‍

Yes! But luckily, humans are so ingeniously designed that you can live without them for a while before things all fall apart. But not endlessly long! It's better to just get your minerals every day. And luckily, with our fulvic acid, that's very easy.

Sometimes we are asked what the exact amount sper mineral are in our fulvic acid.

We are happy to explain that.

The concentrations of minerals in fulvic acid are measured in ppm (parts per million). That seems very precise, but in practice it says little about what happens in your body. Indeed, fulvic acid does not work as “the more the better”, but as transport mechanism: it makes minerals from your diet more available to your cells.

Therefore, for health, it is not the amount in ppm that is important, but how well your body can absorb it.

In addition, trace elements in the body function in extremely small concentrations; many of these minerals already work in nanomolar quantities. A ppm value therefore says nothing about the actual bioavailability or effect.

What is important:

• our fulvic acid contains 72 natural minerals
• all batches are independently tested
• all values are well below the strict EU safety standards
• you can find that information clearly in our Quality & Safety Summary

The exact ppm values are technical, not relevant to consumers and also sensitive to recipes. That is why we choose transparency where it matters: safety, purity and absorbability.

Much fulvic acid is contaminated with heavy metals. These are cadmium, mercury, lead, and arsenic. By law, these heavy metals may not be contained in fulvic acid, but this control is currently insufficient. Products from China and India, in particular, are often contaminated or insufficiently purified. SMPL72 is guaranteed to contain no heavy metals and meets the highest standards for human consumption.

There are a number of things to pay attention to when buying fulvic acid:

1. The geological history of the source. What did the source experience in its prehistoric life? The more, the richer the resource. SMPL72 has the ideal geological history and is very rich in minerals and other micro-nutrients. A total of 72 minerals, 18 amino acids, 15 organic acids and 5 vitamins.
2. The age of the source. Not too young because then it is less rich but not too old either, because then the quality will be lost. SMPL72 comes from a source that is 32 million years old, not too young but certainly not too old either.
3. The purification process. Does this use chemicals and high pressure, or only low-tech filter techniques such as SMPL72? Here, the raw material is placed in large silos with pure water and filtered in 2 years until pure concentrated fulvic acid remains.
4. Purity. Some sources are heavily contaminated with heavy metals. SMPL72 contains no heavy metals.
5. Concentration. How diluted is the final product? Many fulvic acid products are highly diluted. SMPL72 is the most concentrated.
6. Certification. To what extent does 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 out this information per product. The best thing is if you can compare them using an independent lab test. We have SMPL72 here compared to other providers.

The quality of fulvic acid is not determined by the label, but by the source, purification and control of composition and contaminants. Fulvic acid can come from surface layers (highly varying quality) or from deep, enclosed sediment layers (much more stable and naturally cleaner).

The best fulvic acid meets three conditions:
1. it comes from an enclosed, old sediment source that is free from modern pollution. Age and geological history determine quality. Too old means loss due to fossilization; too young means it has “experienced” less and is less rich in minerals and nutrients.
2. It is purified without chemical extraction agents or under high pressure
3. Each batch is independently tested for heavy metals, pesticides, microbiology, and purity.

SMPL72 meets this highest category. The fulvic acid comes from a 32-million-year-old sediment layer, is naturally bound to 72 minerals and trace elements, is purified with pure water and is fully traceable per batch. The production is also GMP certified and supervised by the Natural Products Association, the oldest quality organization for natural products.

In practice, this means that the minerals in SMPL72 are smaller, more stable and more absorbable and that the quality and composition per bottle are identical. This is exactly what distinguishes a good fulvic acid supplement from variants where origin and purity are less strict.

‍

Fulvic acid occurs naturally when plant material is broken down over a very long period of time. This can happen in surface layers of the soil, but also deep underground in old layers of sediment. The difference between these two sources determines almost the entire quality range in the market. Fulvic acid from surface layers is more often related to modern influences such as agriculture, pollution or variations in soil quality. Fulvic acid from deep layers of sediment is millions of years old, completely isolated from the modern environment and 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 of recent contaminants and provides a much more stable and cleaner basis for further purification and quality control.

‍What you need to know is that SMPL72 contains plant minerals and not factory minerals. The difference is that plant minerals are up to 10,000 times smaller and are therefore 100% absorbable and safe and factory minerals are not. When a substance is not absorbable, the body sees it as foreign and potentially toxic. That's why factory minerals from a jar warn you not to exceed the RDA because you'll overload the body.
‍Aluminum, for example, is toxic when it cannot be absorbed by the body, while aluminum is one of the most abundant minerals in nature. It is really in everything, including plants. But aluminum absorbed by plants is therefore plant minerals, 100% absorbable and therefore completely harmless. In fact, you need them. And that applies to all minerals.
We humans are made of 'the dust of the earth'. So what you find in the soil is, if it's okay, you'll find it in roughly the same proportions in the body. D
That's why you need all 72 minerals in the proportions Mother Nature intended. And that is exactly what SMPL72 offers.
SMPL72 complies with all legal requirements and has also been awarded a range of leading certifications.

The environment in which fulvic acid is produced determines the quality. The purer and more nutritious the plants that are processed into humus, the more powerful the fulvic acid is. All types of fulvic acid contain electrolytes, trace elements and minerals. In fact, SMPL fulvic acid has 116 different nutrients: 9 macromolecules, 10 trace minerals, 57 trace elements, 18 amino acids, 17 organic acids and 5 vitamins.
If you want to start using fulvic acid, it's good to know what to look for to assess the quality. Look at concentration, for example. The percentages can range from 4% to over 10%. The SMPL minerals have the highest percentages and are GMP certified, one of the highest standards in the production of supplements, among other things. The certification was carried out in collaboration with an independent audio party and the Natural Products Association, the most renowned organization in the field of natural supplements and active since 1936, and as such also tested and compared with other providers on the market. This is where our fulvic acid comes out on top. See comparison below.

Because we guarantee the highest quality, independently tested. And make sure you don't buy fulvic acid from potentially contaminated soils. Our products are extracted from an extraordinary soil layer more than tens of millions of years ago. This soil layer was created from a merger of freshwater and oceanic sediment layers, where immense prehistoric plants thrived at the time. These plants developed deep roots that reached into the depths of the Earth, where they absorbed 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 is significantly different from fulvic acids extracted from younger sources. Its complexity is so great that it cannot be synthesized or replicated using rollback techniques.

That differs:

• For maximum absorption: 30 minutes before meals

• For an energetic start of the day: on an empty stomach in the moring

• For recovery: immediately after exercise or physical exercise

‍

But the important thing is that you take it, not when.

That depends a lot on concentration. A lot of fulvic acid is highly diluted, so you need to take a lot more to get the right dose. This also explains the price differences, in addition to quality, purity and certifications.

SMPL72 fulvic acid is the most concentrated of all providers, and you only need 7 to 10 drops per day. For children, 1 drop per day per 10 kilograms of body weight. In case of illness or intensive physical exercise, feel free to increase the dose. If you are pregnant or taking medication, increase the dose slowly and see how your body responds. If in doubt, consult your doctor or midwife.

Fulvic acid itself has a very mild, almost neutral taste. Most people barely taste it when they drop it into a glass of water. Some describe it as a very light mineral flavor, but often you only taste it if you really pay attention to it.
SMPL72 is pure fulvic acid with no additives, keeping the taste soft, clean and subtle. So you don't have to expect a bitter, sharp or “muddy” taste, which mainly occurs with impure or thick humus products.
‍
Most users notice that it simply tastes like water with a tiny hint of minerality. That's why it's easy to use every day, even for children or people who have trouble with strong flavors.

It is best to take SMPL fulvic acid in a glass of chlorine-free water. Fruit juice is also possible, but not hot drinks. So very user-friendly.

Yes, that's fine. In fact, in orthomolecular practice, fulvic acid is often used alongside other supplements, because it supports the step that many people face: absorption and utilization. Minerals such as magnesium, zinc, calcium and selenium have one thing in common: they must reach the cell in a soluble, small and stable form in order to do their job. In practice, this does not always happen very well. 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 in, but it can help with:
-keeping mineral ions small and soluble
-transport to the cell
-reducing mutual competition between minerals
- improving bioavailability This makes fulvic acid a kind of “synergy factor”: it supports the way minerals behave in the body without adding a high dose themselves.
In SMPL72, fulvic acid is also naturally bound to 72 minerals and trace elements. This gives the body immediate 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 alone.

‍

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's why SMPL72 sets an exceptionally high standard. Our fulvic acid comes from a sealed, 32-million-year-old sediment layer, a source that is naturally free from modern pollution such as agricultural debris or heavy metals.

‍
Each batch of SMPL72 is then tested for:
- heavy metals
- pesticides
- microbiology
- purity
- stability
- oxidation

‍
And is produced according to:
- GMP
- HACCP -ISO
- GMP

‍
In 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).

‍
Bottom line: fulvic acid is safe, and SMPL72 meets the highest international quality standards. So you can use it on a daily basis with confidence.

Yes, you can, but it is always wise to discuss this with your doctor first. This is because SMPL72 improves the absorption of nutrients. In theory, it could also improve drug uptake. On the other hand, SMPL72 is also a powerful detox and could theoretically neutralize substances such as drugs. In short, SMPL72 may affect the effectiveness of medications, so we always recommend consulting your doctor first.

Yes! However, adjust the dose according to the weight. About 1 drop per 10 kg of body weight per day. Not because more is harmful, but because it is not necessary and therefore a waste of money.

Everything that the body cannot absorb is considered foreign and has the potential to be harmful or sickening. SMPL72 is 100% absorbable and therefore very safe. It meets the highest standards of purity and contaminants. However, SMPL72 has never been officially tested on pregnant women. Use is therefore at your own risk during pregnancy.

Add 7-10 drops of SMPL72 to a glass of water or fruit juice. Make sure that the water is chlorine-free (in the Netherlands, all drinking water is chlorine-free). The time of intake is not very important but the best thing is with or around eating. What's more important is that you take it. You can safely increase the dose in case of illness or intense physical exercise where you sweat a lot (when sweating, the body loses minerals).

This varies from person to person and depends mainly on your initial situation. Fulvic acid supports the absorption and availability of the minerals you already consume through food or supplements. The faster your body responds to this improved availability, the faster you notice something.
People with low mineral values or higher needs often experience change sooner than people who are already well fed.

Some users notice more clarity or a calmer energy level within a few days, while others notice a more gradual increase over a period of weeks.
In SMPL72, fulvic acid is naturally bound to 72 different minerals and trace elements.
This gives the body immediate access to a broad spectrum of bio-available minerals.

The most important thing remains consistency: fulvic acid does not act as a rapid stimulus, but as a daily absorption mechanism that builds up an effect step by step.

Minerals play a fundamental role in controlling all the bio-chemical reactions that take place at the cellular level in the body. SMPL72 therefore supports all 11 body systems. Namely, the skin, the skeleton, the muscles, the digestive system, the respiratory system, the lymphatic system, the cardiovascular system, the nervous system, the endocrine system, the urinary system and the reproductive system. Exactly what SMPL72 will mean for you is difficult to predict. That is different for each body. But generally speaking, you'll be the first to notice something about your skin, hair, and nails. After all, it is your largest organ. And because all your body systems will function more efficiently, you will most likely also notice that you get more energy.

Do you eat little or no meat? Realize that if people eat a lot of soy producers (which is often mistakenly seen by vegetarians as a healthy meat substitute), the absorption of minerals by our intestinal system is hampered. Our gut is where minerals are absorbed from our food, and there are also many forms of diseases that can sabotage the absorption of minerals from our food. Fulvic acid is a wonderful answer to that, because thanks to the fact that fulvic acid detoxifies, our entire body (and therefore also our intestines) will function better.

The use of fulvic acid is safe to use and is seen as a natural way of detoxifying. Overall, fulvic acid is considered safe for most people. It can very rarely cause some mild stomach problems for some. But don't worry, that's usually only for a short time. Note: fulvic acid is also a social butterfly: it can interact with certain medications you take because your medications become more absorbable. Read our blog about the science behind fulvic acid.
