Frequently Asked Questions

Considered second to none, Supreme Fulvic & Humic Complex® is a unique, remarkably bio-available, proprietary Humic acid formulation manufactured specifically for human consumption sourced from the southwestern United States. It is a SUPER-RICH fulvic-acid humic-acid complex containing extremely bio-available organic-based humic acids and fulvic acids derived from a premium prehistoric freshwater-origin Leonardite/ Carbonaceous Shale deposit. Scientists worldwide consider the deposit "the best" because it contains the highest percentage of extremely low molecular-weight humic substances (fulvic acids and humic acids) on earth. The potential Hydrogen (pH) of Supreme Fulvic & Humic Complex is approximately 8.5 pH.
(SPECIAL NOTE: The only other deposit known to have such low molecular weight humate is said to be located in East Siberia, Russia.)

Two key features of Supreme Fulvic & Humic Complex:

1. Contains a rich full-spectrum of organic fulvic acid and humic acid trace minerals, trace vitamins, amino acids and a vast array of other naturally occurring vital organic fulvic and humic nutrients and components, and,
   
2. Because the premium Leonardite/Carbonaceous Shale source deposit is of fresh-water origin, the fulvic acids, humic acids, and fulvic and humic nutrients and components are extremely bio-available-meaning, the fulvic and humic trace minerals, amino acids, and other fulvic and humic nutrients and components are absorbed by the cells extremely easily and extremely-fast.

Another reason the fulvic and humic nutrients are so easily absorbed is because they have a natural negative (–) electromagnetic charge and the intestinal wall has a positively (+) charged electrochemical gradient. Remember, regarding magnetic poles, opposite magnetic poles (N/S) are attracted to each other, and identical magnetic poles(N/N or S/S) repel each other. So, because the fulvic and humic molecules have a natural negative electromagnetic charge they are attracted to the intestinal wall which has a positively charged electrochemical gradient.

Supreme Fulvic & Humic Complex contains a vast array of naturally occurring fulvic and humic Trace Minerals, Trace Vitamins, Bio-chemicals, Supercharged antioxidants, Free-radical scavengers, Super oxide dismutases ("SOD"), Phytochemicals, Trace element complexes, Cytokinins, Enzymes, Natural hormones, Amino acids, Natural antibiotics, Natural antivirals, and Natural fungicides.

The quality of Fulvic acid and Humic acid begins with the quality of the raw base material. Many different forms of humates can be found in various deposits located throughout the United States and around the world. There are known to be five major sources of raw humate material. Rutile sand deposits, Peat Moss deposits, Lignite deposits (sometimes referred to as pre-Lignitic Coal), Coal, and Leonardite Shale deposits. Many deposits are unfavorably saltwater derived. The very best humate deposits are freshwater-origin Leonardite Shale deposits.

Our freshwater-origin Leonardite/Carbonaceous Shale deposit is considered superior to all other deposits because it contains the smallest and lowest molecular weight humic substances on earth – yielding the highest quality and most bioavailable Fulvic acid and Humic acid available anywhere. The lower the molecular weight the more bioavailable (absorbable by the cells) the humic substance becomes.

Fulvic and Humic mineral solutions derived from saltwater-origin deposits, by their very nature, have heavier molecular weights, are larger in size and are nowhere near as bioavailable, meaning: they are not as easily absorbed by the cells of the body.

NOTE: Companies who sell fulvic mineral solutions derived from (salt-water) deposits in southern United States (Mississippi) can not ethically and honestly claim to match, let alone exceed the superior world-wide reputation of the extremely low molecular weight humates from our premium freshwater-origin Leonardite/Carbonaceous Shale deposit.

May we suggest that you don't let yourself be fooled by deceptive marketing schemes of unethical competitors claiming to have the purest and most concentrated fulvic acid. NO STANDARD FULVIC ACID TESTING METHOD EXISTS! THAT IS A FACT. Insist on knowing whether their source deposit is a fresh-water origin deposit or a salt-water origin deposit. Moreover, at one particular website the competitor disparages ALL competitors products by using the scare tactic and fraudulent statement that "EVERY Fulvic Acid product" from NEW MEXICO contains SODIUM BENZOATE! The same unethical competitor goes on to state that "Humic Acid products claiming to be 'Supreme' will never, and can never, contain more Fulvic Acid than…", and further states: "Fulvic or Humic Acid products that are very dark brown, gray, or black in color are the lowest grade Fulvic and Humic Acid products on the market, and contain very low levels of Fulvic and Humic Acid." The unethical competitor's foregoing statements are unequivically factually baseless. Moreover, a thorough review of this unethical competitor's website reveals that many statements presented there are totally baseless and bogus. In fact, what is revealed at this unethical competitor's website is a very clever scheme attempting to scare potential customers away from buying other companies competing products.

SUMMARY:
Our fulvic acid and humic acid products, and the benefits thereof, speak for themselves.When potential customers ask us the question: What's the difference between your product and Brand XYZ? We encourage potential customers to go ahead and buy company XYZ's product first, and THEN buy and try SUPREME FULVIC & HUMIC COMPLEX. You tell us the difference!

At SUPREME FULVIC, LLC we refuse, and have no need to use unethical manipulative marketing schemes, ploys or scare tactics to entice you to buy our products. Our business model is dependent upon repeat customers. If customers don't reorder our fulvic acid products we will eventually be out of business, plain and simple.

According to one of the worlds foremost experts on fulvic and humic, there is much more available humic acid and fulvic acid in liquid Humic acid. Tablet and chunk-form humic must be broken down by the digestive system before the nutrients can be utilized by the cells – compared to liquid form which does not have to be broken down and is available for immediate cellular uptake. Also, to our knowledge, tablet and chunk-form humic products are not pH balanced.

Sterilizing Humic Acid (by heat or chemical). Properly prepared liquid humic acid for human consumption contains beneficial heat and chemical-sensitive nutritional components. Some companies marketing tablet and chuck-form humic acid claim to "sterilize" their humic acid products. We certainly would not want to to consume any nutritional product if it has been "sterilized". Heat and chemical sterilization can destroy natural heat and chemical-sensitive nutritional components! It has been said that "sterile humic is dead". Moreover, heat from compressing into tablets or chunks can "compound" or "complex" minerals, creating an entirely new substance that who knows what it will do.

Because we utilize special patent-pending and proprietary processing methods the natural beneficial heat and chemical-sensitive nutritional components in Supreme Fulvic & Humic Complex are never damaged or destroyed, rather, they are optimally preserved ensuring that they are 100% safely available for immediate cellular intake, utilization and benefit.

Yes. Supreme Fulvic & Humic Complex has "Viral Fusion Inhibition" ("VFI") properties. The humic acid in Supreme Fulvic & Humic Complex has properties that "interferes with a virus' ability to attach to a host cell, penetrate the host cell, and reproduce itself." In the scientific community this interference is referred to as "Viral Fusion Inhibition" ("VFI"). “Scientific studies have demonstrated that if a host cell is penetrated before the introduction of the Humic Acid, the reproductive process is not halted. HOWEVER, after the virus reproduces, the host cell releases the new viruses into the bloodstream. At this point, if Humic Acid is present, it can prevent the new generation(s) of viruses from attaching to additional host cells.”

“With most viruses, the inhibitory effect of (Humic Acid) is directed specifically against an early stage of virus replication, namely virus attachment to cells (Klocking and Sprosig, 1975; Schols et al., 1991; Neyts et al., 1992).”

“…it appears likely that the poly-anionic Humic Acids occupy positively charged domains of the viral envelope glycoproteins, which are necessary for virus attachment to the cell surface (Neyts et al., 1992).”

To our knowledge, there is no lab that can [accurately] quantify only the actual fulvic acid molecules themselves with replicable consistency.

Depending upon the particular method of analysis used, fulvic acid molecule weights range anywhere from a low of approximately 500 Daltons** to a high of about 2,000 Daltons.

There is no general agreement in scientific literature, nor amongst scientists, as to what the actual size and specific molecular weight is of a fulvic acid molecule, moreover, THERE IS NO UNIVERSAL STANDARD for measuring fulvic acid percentages! Furthermore, there are too many unknown acid chains, minerals, vitamins, amino acids, organic matter, etc, coexisting in the humic/fulvic realm that would have to be split off (removed) before testing, leaving ONLY the actual fulvic molecules themselves for quantification.

Our understanding is that it has been proven time and time again, that, by changing the type of testing extractant or the concentration of the testing extractant, varying percentages of fulvic acids will be measured from the same fulvic sample. In other words, if ten separate samples of fulvic solution from the same batch are sent to ten different independent laboratories for analysis, the results will vary from lab to lab. One lab determines 8% fulvic acids, another lab may indicate 40% fulvic acids, another may report 15%, and yet another may report 1% fulvic acids, and so forth.

With fulvic acid percentage analysis results differing from lab to lab (as described above), it is practically impossible to fairly compare fulvic acid products based on fulvic acid percentages. That is the reason why we do not make fulvic acid percentage claims. Based on the foregoing, we believe fulvic acid percentage claims are useless and misleading.

Our opinion is: The most important fulvic acid facts to consider are:
a) The quality of the humic material from which the product is derived, and
b) The processing method used to bring the raw humate into liquid form for human consumption.

The below article authored by Dr. William J. Saccoman explains the difference between “organic” plant-derived trace minerals and “inorganic” metallic (potentially toxic) trace minerals. In addition, we also suggest you read the information at this link: Information Concerning Possible Toxic Minerals

There is a reason trace minerals are called trace minerals – the body [needs] them in [trace] amounts. The next time you see the elements "aluminum", "arsenic" and "lead" listed on the label of a product find out whether or not they come from an organic plant source or inorganic metallic source. If the source is inorganic (like the minerals found in most tap water), you should be concerned, however, if the source is organic be assured that the elements are organic plant-derived, essential and 100% safe.

Fulvic acids are the smallest, lightest molecular-weight components of "humic acids"; They are acid chains/conglomerate molecules.

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 used ever since, mainly because an acidic agent was originally introduced into the humic solution causing the humic components to separate (as described above). Such acid extraction method is still in use by some processors, however, WE DO NOT USE ANY MANNER OF ACID EXTRACTION during any part of our processing procedures.

As created by nature
The very small, low molecular weight humic components ("fulvic acids") are originally created by soil-based micro-organisms("SBO's") which, in turn, make minerals and other nutrients assimilable by plants. Millions of years ago (and today) SBO's consume the decayed plant organic matter in the humate deposits and the organisms subsequently excrete a waste material (digested decayed plant organic matter) back into the earthy material. The cycle continues over and over, on and on – nature's own natural chelation process.

The complex photosynthetic reactions – produced in all plants – produce the nutritional components needed for all the various parts of the plants. Muco-polysaccharides (a class of carbohydrates such as starches and cellulose) flow throughout the plant as nourishment and some of this is returned to the roots where the soil-based microorganisms are re-nourished to produce (excrete) additional digested humic components which combines with minerals and other nutrients in the soil to continue the cycle.

Fulvic acids are a biologically active mixture of weak aliphatic* and aromatic organic acids which are soluble in water and all pH conditions (acidic, neutral, and alkaline). As described above at question number one, fulvic acids are the smaller and lighter weight (molecular weight) parts of humic acids having molecular weights which range from approximately 2,000 or less.

*Aliphatic means: "Of, relating to, or being a group of organic chemical compounds in which the carbon atoms are linked in open chains." (Read the "Fulvic Acid Report" at this web site for a detailed explanation of what fulvic acid is.)

"Humic substances (HS) are major components of the natural organic matter (NOM) in soil and water as well as in geological organic deposits such as lake sediments, peats, brown coals and shales. They make up much of the characteristic brown color of decaying plant debris and contribute to the brown or black color in surface soils. They are major components of NOM in surface waters and at higher concentrations can impart a dark color, especially in brown fresh water ponds, lakes, and streams. In leaf litter or composts, the color may be yellowish-brown to black, depending on the degree of decay and concentration.

Humic substances are very important components of soil that affect physical and chemical properties and improve soil fertility. In aqueous systems, like rivers, about 50% of the dissolved organic materials are HS that affect pH and alkalinity. In terrestrial and aquatic systems HS affect the chemistry, cycling and bioavailability of chemical elements, as well as transport and degradation of xenobiotic and natural organic chemicals. They affect biological productivity in aquatic ecosystems, as well as the formation of disinfection by-products during water treatment.

Humic substances are complex and heterogeneous mixtures of polydispersed materials formed by biochemical and chemical reactions during the decay and transformation of plant and microbial remains (a process called humification). Plant lignin and its transformation products, as well as polysaccharides, melanin, cutin, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, fine char particles, etc., are important components taking part in this process.

Humic substances in soils and sediments can be divided into three main fractions: humic acids (HA or HAs), fulvic acids (FA or FAs) and humin. The HA and FA are extracted from soil and other solid phase sources using a strong base (NaOH or KOH). Humic acids are insoluble at low pH, and they are precipitated by adding strong acid (adjust to pH 1 with HCl). Humin cannot be extracted with either a strong base or a strong acid.

Aquatic HS contain only HA and FA and these components are generally removed from water by lowering the pH to 2 and adsorbing both components on a suitable resin column. The HA and FA are extracted from the resin with strong base followed by lowering the pH to 1 to precipitate the HA. The resin column separation is also used to separate FA from the non-humic materials (amino acids, peptides, sugars, etc.) extracted from soils. At low pH the FA adsorbs on the resin, but non-humic materials pass through the column.

Humic substances are highly chemically reactive yet recalcitrant with respect to biodegradation. Most of the data on HA, FA and humin refer to average properties and structure of a large ensemble of components of diverse structure and molecular weight. The precise properties and structure of a given HS sample depends on the water or soil source and the specific conditions of extraction. Nevertheless, the average properties of HA, FA and humin from different sources are remarkably similar."

NOTE: The above quoted is from International Humic Substances Society

Humic acids are a class of compounds – conglomerate molecules/acid chains – weighing between 5,000 and 8,000 daltons – manufactured by plants. Humic acids are soluble in alkaline solution, insoluble in acid solution, and are natural components found in drinking water, soil and lignite*. Note: Below 6 pH humic acid "precipitates", which means that the humic acid molecules in the solution will begin clumping together and fall out of suspension, settling on the bottom of the container. All of the humic acid will ultimately be lying on the bottom of the container. If a solution is claimed to contain humic acid and has a pH less than 6.0, and has no black layer of settlement on the bottom, the solution does not contain humic acid.

Humic acids contain a vast array of naturally occurring biochemicals, including, but not limited to, supercharged antioxidants, free-radical scavengers, super oxide dismutases ("SOD"), nutrients, enzymes, hormones, amino acids, natural antibiotics, natural antivirals, and natural fungicides.

*Lignite is a soft, brownish-black substance in which the natural decomposition process of vegetable matter has proceeded further than that of peat but not as far as bituminous coal. (Read the "Fulvic Acid Report" at this web site for a more detailed explanation.)

Zeolite does not "strip" minerals from fulvic nor humic. The Zeolite molecule – like the fulvic and humic molecule – is negatively-charged. Zeolite is actually very compatible with fulvic and humic. The humic and fulvic solution acts as a carrier transporting the Zeolite molecules into the body. Then, the negatively-charged zeolite molecules attract and bind to any positively-charged heavy-metals and toxins in the body allowing for safe elimination by the body's elimination systems.

FALSE. Fulvic acid, and humic acid, chelate inorganic metals, not plastic. Furthermore, Polyethylene Terephthalate(PET), #1 printed on bottle bottom, and High Density Polyethylene(HDPE), #2 on bottle bottom, are FDA approved and have been proven to be safe. PET does not contain plasticizers. "Plasticizers" are added to make plastics soft or flexible. For example, semi-rigid plastic like polyvinyl chloride (PVC or vinyl) typically contains about 10% by weight of plasticizers and is very soft, polyvinyl chloride tubing may contain as much as 80%. Under the right circumstances plasticizers can migrate out of certain plastics.

The International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI) – a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the scientific understanding of issues related to nutrition, food safety, toxicology, risk assessment and the environment – has comprehensively reviewed the scientific and technological aspects of PET.

In a report on PET for food packaging applications issued in July of 2000, ILSI summarizes the large body of test data that demonstrates the safety of PET resins and compounds for food and beverage containers:


We are very well aware of information presented at various web sites attacking the use of all types of plastics. One web site in particular that was brought to our attention specifically states that fulvic acid in plastic bottles is "ineffective" and "toxic" but fails to present any legitimate proof supporting the disparaging and slanderous allegations. In fact, none of the web sites that we visited provide any legitimate proof (such as a photocopy of a legitimate independent lab report) proving such allegations. The fact that such claims are presented WITHOUT providing documentary evidence supporting such claims is very disturbing to us as well as many other distributors of fulvic products.

For years, thousands of people have been using fulvic acid and fulvic acid products and reporting absolutely amazing positive results from the use thereof. What really amazes us, and other distributors of fulvic products, is the claim that "fulvic acid in plastic can be toxic" or "ineffective" without providing any legitimate proof – aside from simply providing links to other Web sites themselves failing to provide proof that fulvic acid in HDPE or PET bottles is toxic or ineffective.

Thousands and thousands of gallons of fulvic acid and humic acid products have been sold by various manufacturers and distributors in safe HDPE and PET plastic bottles and have provided, and continue to provide, immense and profound health benefits to thousands upon thousands of people. Ourselves, our families and many of our friends, on a daily basis, consume fulvic acid and humic acid stored as well as shipped in safe HDPE and PET plastic bottles achieving fantastic health results. Feedback from thousands of customers sharing positive health reports related to their use of fulvic acid and humic acid products, in our opinion and others, contradicts such unfounded "fulvic in plastic" bashing.

Your concerns and safety are what's important here. We sincerely encourage you to do your own research. In the process, please be sure to look for at least ONE legitimate actual independent lab report, not merely a reference to some report, but the actual report itself, proving the aforementioned claims.

We leave the final decision to you, considering that:

"Companies or their agents who attack the use of plastics should examine the facts and discontinue unethical and charlatanistic marketing practices for their own gain."

PET and "HDPE is safe and does not produce chemical transfer of any toxic materials."

PET and "HDPE is so non-interactive that high heat testing with acid leaching agents in very intense lab testing produced no chemical detectability in the entire spectrum of chemicals (over 140 tests)"

No. The product should be consumed by itself, at least 15-minutes to ½ hour away from food and/or other nutritional supplements. CAUTION! Do not take it directly with medications! Fulvic reduces the surface tension of cell membranes allowing whatever substance/s you are taking with the fulvic to penetrate into the cells more easily.

Supreme Fulvic and Supreme Fulvic & Humic Complex should be stored at room temperature. Refrigeration not required.

Yes. Do not take the product/s Supreme Fulvic & Humic Complex at the exact same time you take any medications. In other-words, do not directly [combine] Supreme Fulvic & Humic Complex with any medication that you are taking. Keep in mind the fact that Fulvic (a humic fraction) is a potentiator, increasing the ability of the cells of the body to absorb any substances consumed along with the fulvic, thus making such substance more potent, which in turn may lead to over-medicating or over-dosing. It is our opinion that humic/fulvic products be consumed at least 1-hour BEFORE taking any medication (oral as well as injectable).

Also, do not mix our product (or any humic product) with any fluids that contain CHLORINE. Mixing humic (and other natural organic substances originating from foods – including fruits, soy, green or black tea) with water that is CHLORINATED is known to create harmful compounds referred to and abbreviated as "MX" – which is representative of the term "unknown mutagen", which are similar to trihalomethanes ("THM"s).

Irrespective of any information provided at this Web site, if you have any questions concerning consumption of any supplement offered through this Web site please consult with your physician before consuming any such supplements offered.

For medical advice, you should always consult with your physician.

One of the benefits of Supreme Fulvic & Humic Complex is it helps the body to detoxify. Some people may experience mild detoxification when they begin taking the product. Signs of detoxification may include: mild diarrhea, mild joint aches, flu-like symptoms, pleghm, etc. The detox reaction is typically only short-term (a day or so up to a few weeks). The detox reaction is a normal, and even healthy reaction that may indicate healing. The most common problem with detox is that people sometimes stop taking the supplement and thus discontinue taking the very substance that is most likely helping the body recover. Although the experience may not be pleasurable, the detox symptoms are generally an indication that healing is taking place.

If you experience any detox symptoms you may simply reduce the dosage, then, as your body becomes stronger and you start feeling better you can move towards the recommended dosages.

YES! Unless your doctor specifically prohibits you from taking Supreme Fulvic and/or Supreme Fulvic & Humic Complex. Supreme Fulvic, especially Supreme Fulvic & Humic Complex significantly helps strengthen the immune system. Fulvic and Humic are also known for their abilities to support the body in detoxification, removal of heavy metals, and reducing harmful side-effects of radiation treatment. If you are on chemotherapy or receiving radiation treatments remember to consult with your doctor before taking Supreme Fulvic and/or Supreme Fulvic & Humic Complex. Keep in mind that many doctors have no knowledge at all about fulvic or humic. You may want to print the Fulvic Acid Report and some of the other educational documents that we have available on this Web site and present them to your doctor to read. Your doctor may very well be grateful that you did. (We have several [happy] customers that are doctors that had not heard about fulvic and humic minerals and when they read the reports about fulvic and humic minerals they began taking Supreme Fulvic & Humic Complex themselves as well as providing it to their patients with good results.

We believe YES!, strongly – Unless your doctor specifically says otherwise. Supreme Fulvic & Humic Complex contains minerals, amino acids, and other nutritional elements that are needed and used by the body to cleanse, neutralize, and remove toxins, strengthen and supercharge the immune system, super-oxygenate the blood, maintain optimum alkalinity & pH levels, balance cell life, and more, which aids the body's ability to heal itself.

We strongly believe YES! – unless your doctor specifically says otherwise. We have many customers that had been diagnosed with diabetes. These very same customers are very satisfied with Supreme Fulvic & Humic Complex.

We believe strongly YES! – unless your doctor specifically says otherwise. We have customers who have taken Supreme Fulvic & Humic Complex and state that they "no longer have asthma."

Yes, but only use a sturdy food-grade-plastic (Number 1 or 2 on bottom of bottle), stainless steel, or glass container. Do not use any other type of material.

Yes. In addition, if you consume foods rich in iron or consume a quality iron supplement, Supreme Fulvic & Humic Complex will potentiate (make more utilizable by the body) the iron in the foods and supplements.

Everyone is different. Some people notice results within a few hours, for other people it may take several days to a few weeks or even longer, depending on various factors of course. Use of Supreme Fulvic & Humic Complex on a daily basis will provide the body with vital nutritional elements (nature's building blocks) that the body will use for repair and regeneration of cells. Be patient! Remember "Rome wasn't built in a day!"

Yes. Just add 1 tablespoon into 1 gallon of UNCHLORINATED water (water that has no chlorine in it) which will nourish and help provide the highest quality plant, flowers and vegetables.

Yes. Add 1 tablespoon into the pets water bowl. IMPORTANT! The water must not contain any chlorine.

MIXING WITH WATER: Supreme Fulvic & Humic Complex may be consumed by itself (not mixed into water or any other liquid), however, if desired, the product may be mixed into a small amount (no more than 4 fluid ounces) of clean potable distilled water, reverse osmosis water or spring water. Do not use any type of sparkling mineral water or ozonated water. NEVER MIX WITH REGULAR TAP WATER! Regular tap water typically contains chlorine and flouride. Do not mix the product with water that has any amount of chlorine in it. (Note: We are not referring to "Chloride", Chlorine is chlorine, chloride is chloride. "Chloride is a major mineral that is necessary for your stomach to make digestive juices and that helps keep your body fluids in balance. Chloride is found in the fluid surrounding all the cells in your body."

SUGGESTED USAGE

After the first week: Serving size may be slowly increased to ½ tablespoon twice daily.
Always consult with a child's health care professional before administering this product.

MIXING PRODUCT WITH OTHER LIQUIDS: It is best if the product is taken by itself (not mixed into water or other liquid). However, if desired, the product may be mixed into a small amount (no more than 4 fluid ounces) of water in the following order of favorability: PENTA® water, or Reverse Osmosis (R.O.) water, or any good quality bottled or potable Spring water. NEVER USE OZONATED WATER!

DO NOT MIX THIS PRODUCT WITH ANY TYPE OF JUICE, EXCEPT FRESHLY MADE VEGETABLE JUICES. (Note: The low pH of fruit juices is not compatible with the pH of this product.)

NEVER USE REGULAR TAP WATER! Tap water typically contains chlorine, therefore, do not mix the product with tap water or any other water that contains, or may contain, chlorine. (Important note: Do not mistake chloride for chlorine. "Chloride" is a mineral that is necessary for keeping the body's fluids in balance and for the manufacture of digestive juices. Chloride is also present in the fluid that surrounds the cells of the body.)

DO NOT TAKE PRODUCT DIRECTLY WITH ALCOHOL OR MEDICATIONS! Supreme Fulvic & Humic Complex™ can make cell walls (membranes) more permeable allowing nutrients and other substances, including alcohol and medications, to enter the cells more easily, and thus potentially lead to over-medication. We strongly suggest that fulvic products be consumed at least ½ hour prior to the consumption of any alcohol or medications (oral or injectable).

DETOXIFICATION SYMPTOMS: Some people who have never been on any type of detoxification protocol may experience mild diarrhea or headache during the first few days of product use. Such symptoms generally occur in a relatively few number of people. However, if you do experience diarrhea, headache, or other unusual symptom simply reduce the serving size until symptoms diminish to a tolerable level or disappear.

Typically, the "shelf life" of a product is the length of time after it's date of manufacture that it may be stored before taking on an unpleasant odor, taste, or becoming unfit for use or consumption. As of the date of composing this, the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA) does NOT require Use-by, Best-by or Expiration dates to be stated on packages of dietary supplements, however, the U.S. FDA does require if a date *is* used the date must be supported by stability testing data. Laboratory testing data of unopened bottles of Supreme Fulvic & Humic Complex® indicated a 2-years minimum shelf-life–we have had OPENED bottles of product that, after 4 years, were still stable/good, however, after a bottle or jug is opened there are many variables that can affect the shelf life of products, thus, the "Best-by" date on the bottom of our bottles and jugs apply only to unopened containers.

The extraction procedure is an alkaline base water extraction.

Yes. The product under goes third party testing with laboratories that are registered with the FDA. All of our products are quarantined until approved results are confirmed. Third party testing includes-
