Fulvic is taking the wellness world by storm, but along with that sometimes comes misinformation. We're breaking it down for you and presenting the facts for all the skeptics. While there's a lot of hype around charcoal and people believing fulvic is charcoal, there is a side that the media doesn't like to present.


That said, there are a few things we do know for sure, and we're going to walk you through some facts so you can make a more informed decision when it comes to naturally supporting your immune system.


Fact #1: Fulvic is NOT Charcoal

Fulvic Acid is an  organic compound, found in plants and soil. It is a natural byproduct from Earth that has been used for hundreds of years as a healing aid. Fulvic compounds can be found in certain life forms like algae and oceanic plants. Charcoal helps rid the body of unwanted substances, but this also includes crucial nutrients. It is made from coal, wood, other substances, and becomes "activated" when high temperatures combine with a gas or activating agent.

Fact #2: Fulvic Provides Optimal Nutrient Absorption

When it comes to nutrient absorption, bioavailability is key! Fulvic Acid delivers essential minerals directly to your cells. This allows your body to properly absorb, break down, and transport nutrients that are vital to your health. Fulvic acid is rich in various minerals and nutrients, making it easier for your body to recognize and absorb.

Fact #3: Charcoal Removes Crucial Nutrients

Activated charcoal binds with all kinds of things that can include vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals within your food and water. Because of this, it doesn't allow your body to properly absorb the nutrients and vitamins it needs. This can lead to nutrition deficiency or malnutrition. From preventing your body from digesting foods and nutrients, to making supplements less effective, it is commonly used for medical purposes.

Fact #4: Fulvic Increases Vitamin Uptake while Charcoal can Make Them Less Effective

Plant-based polyphenols play a vital role in your digestion and overall health. Fulvic Acid is rich in various minerals which allow your body to effectively absorb your vitamins. Charcoal does the opposite. It will bind to whatever particles are in your stomach at the time. Good or bad this causes your body to be depleted of the vitamins or nutrients it needs. This is also the case for medications, such as anti-inflammatory meds, which then causes them to be less effective as well.
