hat are the benefits of fulvic acid?
Recent research has shown that both fulvic acid and shilajit provide numerous health benefits. However, keep in mind that there are only a few studies on humans, so the effects may vary between people.
Reduces inflammation
Conditions such as allergies, asthma, and diabetes can be linked to overactive immune cells, which trigger your defenses too easily. Both shilajit and fulvic acid have shown promise regarding their anti-inflammatory properties, which help reduce the symptoms of these disorders. However, this isn’t new to folk medicine — shilajit has appeared in ancient texts that talk about its properties as a herbal remedy. While it’s unclear how many of these benefits are true, it has been used as an anti-inflammatory for centuries.
Boosts immunity
Some literature suggests that fulvic acid can enhance and trigger the immune system while ensuring its proper function. For example, it can help reduce a wound's size while also helping combat eventual infections. Yet, these benefits are not as clear as the anti-inflammatory ones. Instead, they depend on the quality of the extract and the dose taken.
Promotes brain health
Both fulvic acid and shilajit have shown promise as neuroprotective agents against certain disorders. Namely, studies have shown that it can protect the brain from cognitive conditions related to aging, such as Alzheimer’s disease. Furthermore, it stimulates cognitive function and may play a part in increasing longevity.
Gut health
Research suggests that fulvic acid positively impacts your gut by improving the flora and your ability to absorb nutrients. Yet, keep in mind that these benefits appear only after long-term use — in a study, it took two months before a significant change in the gut showed up.
Other benefits
While research is still ongoing, both fulvic acid and shilajit have shown promise in many other therapeutic benefits. These are some potential health benefits of these two compounds.
Reducing anxiety
Antioxidant properties
Alleviating pain
Relieving altitude sickness
Enhancing memory
