As a supplement

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

Roll Call does not check drug interactions or assess personal safety.

A mixture of organic compounds formed as plant and microbial matter break down in soil and water, part of a broader group called humic substances.

Why it’s used

Taken by some for general antioxidant support or to aid mineral absorption, based on its natural occurrence alongside minerals in soil.

What the evidence says

Fulvic acid has not been the subject of substantial human clinical research, and there is no NIH Office of Dietary Supplements fact sheet or established evidence base addressing its effects when taken by mouth.

Context
