Selecting the best of Humic substances is the key toimproving soil and plant nutrition. Fulvic is the end resultof thousands of years of decomposition resulting in achemically stable organic molecule that provides bothchemical and physical fertility to the soil.

• Auxin-like growth response that enhances cell divisionand elongation. Root cell division is increased!

• Fulvic acid triggers the plant’s genetic mechanism tofunction more efficiently resulting in improved growthand resistance to stress.

• Nature's way of “chelating” minerals so that they can bereadily absorbed.

• Enhances the availability of nutrients and makes themmore readily absorbable.

• Complexes with minerals and metals making themavailable to plant roots and easily absorbable throughcell walls.

• Nutrients readily pass through semi-permeablemembranes such as cell walls.

• Stimulates the immune system.

• Humus substances are known to be a food source forsoil organisms and encourage reproduction.

Complexes & Dissolves Minerals &Trace ElementsFor efficient nutrient uptake by plants, minerals andmetals must be in a soluble form. The metallic mineralssimply dissolve into ionic form, and disappear into thefulvic structure becoming bio-chemically reactive andmobile. The fulvic acid actually transforms these mineralsand metals into elaborate fulvic acid molecular complexesthat have vastly different characteristics from theirprevious metallic mineral form.

Enhances NutrientsFulvic acid enhances the availability of nutrients andmakes them more readily absorbable, making them more

available to the plant by way of ion exchange. It alsoallows minerals to regenerate and prolongs the residencetime of essential nutrients. It prepares nutrients to reactwith cells. It allows nutrients to inter-react with oneanother, breaking them down into the simplest ionic formschelated by the fulvic acid electrolyte.

Transports NutrientsFulvic acid readily complexes minerals and metals makingthem available to plant roots. It is thought to make theplant’s cell wall more permeable and better absorbminerals such as iron, that are not usually very mobile.Fulvic acids also has the ability to dissolve and transportvitamins, coenzymes, auxins, hormones, and other naturalmaterial that are generally found throughout the soil,making them available. The result is their more effectiveuse in stimulating even more vigorous and healthy growth.Fulvic acid can often transport many times its weight indissolved minerals and elements.

Increases AssimilationFulvic acids not only have the ability to transport nutrientsthrough cell membranes, they also have the ability tosensitize cell membranes. The resulting metal organiccomplexes are of a low molecular weight, and because ofthis they are also of low molecular size, and are capableof a high degree of penetration into cells.

Stimulates MetabolismFulvic acid enhances growth and may stimulate theimmune system. Fulvic acid triggers a genetic mechanismof plants to function at a higher level. Fulvic acid aids inpenetrating roots and then quickly transports to theshoots of plants. Fulvic acid relieves oxygen deficiencyand increases the vital activity of cells. Fulvic acidsimproves plant metabolism of carbohydrates, resulting inan accumulation of soluble sugars. These soluble sugarsincrease the pressure of osmosis inside the cell wall andenable plants to withstand wilting and external stress.
