Antioxidant studies
Conclusion: Fulvic acid has antioxidant properties that offer several health benefits.
Title: Antioxidant activity of fulvic acid: a bioactive compound derived from living matter
Document Type: Peer-Reviewed Journal Article
Conclusion: The antioxidant properties of FAs described in this work could explain some of the beneficial health effects of this compound, since excessive production of O2•–, HOCl, H2O2, OH•, ONOO– and 1O2 are implicated in several pathologies. Furthermore, they could be a good candidate for use in the pharmaceutical or food industries as an accessible source of natural antioxidants and to improve food quality by delaying lipid oxidation.

Conclusion: Dietary supplements or food products with fulvic acids can be a good source of antioxidants and minerals.
Title: Characterization of Fulvic Acid Beverages by Mineral Profile and Antioxidant Capacity
Document Type: Peer-Reviewed Journal Article
Conclusion: The results of the present study on fulvic acid-containing beverages, available in the form of concentrates and ready-to-drink beverages, showed that they can contain substantial amounts of Fe (up to about 130% of the RDA), Mg (up to about 40% of the RDA) and Mn (up to about 70% of the RDA). They can also be a good source of polyphenolic compounds (up to about 19.8 mg/ml) with high antioxidant activity. Therefore, they can become interesting and valuable food products or food ingredients with potential effects on human health.
