What are Fulvic Acids?
Fulvic acids (“FA”) are the smallest, lightest molecular weight fractions of “humic acids”. Fulvic acid (fulvic acids) are in fact humic acids, but they are the tiniest fractions. According to professor Dmitry Orlov, a world-renowned Russian specialist of Soil Sciences, fulvic acids are a part of, and are very closely related-to humic acids, they are NOT independent fractures. Isolating the smaller lighter humic molecules (creating “Fulvic Acid”) During the extraction (separation) process (called “hydrolysis”) the larger heavier humic molecules will fall out of suspension (“precipitate”) settling at the bottom of a humic solution, the lighter, lower molecular weight molecules will stay in the upper level of the solution. This upper (or top) layer of solution containing the smaller lighter weight humic components (fractions) is typically siphoned off and commonly referred to as “fulvic acid”. The term “fulvic acid” is not new. The term originated approximately 200 years ago and has been
