Animal and pet studies
Conclusion: Humic and fulvic acids improve immune function, disease resistance, and growth in animals.
Title: Peat-derived organic humifulvate concentrate (HFC): a novel multimineral dietary supplement
Document Type: Scientific Report
Conclusion: This discovery was made after observing that animals grazing near peat deposits were in exceptional health, especially their offspring. Studies revealed that these animals experienced accelerated growth and resistance to diseases common in other regions. This effect was attributed to the improved absorption of minerals present in peat. It was confirmed that the deposits contained significant amounts of humic acid and fulvic acid.
