Intestinal health studies
Conclusion: Humic acids, fulvic acids and Shilajit may protect against intestinal lesions.
Title: Protection against gluten-mediated tight junction injury with a novel lignite extract supplement
Document Type: Peer-Reviewed Journal Article
Conclusion: Naturally oxidized lignite extracts, including shilajit, humic acids, and fulvic acids, have been used as dietary supplements to provide minerals and amino acids from the soil in China and India for hundreds of years.

Conclusion: Lignite extract supplement may protect against intestinal lesions
Title: Protective effects of lignite extract supplementation on intestinal barrier function in glyphosate-mediated tight junction injury
Document Type: Peer-Reviewed Journal Article
Conclusion: RESTORE lignite extract supplementation blocked a glyphosate-dependent decrease in TEER in both cell lines. If RESTORE is found to be effective in clinical trials, it could prove useful in combating intestinal sensitivity caused by glyphosate-mediated tight junction disruption.

Conclusion: Humic acids increase the population of beneficial intestinal bacteria.
Title: Impact of humic acids on the colon microbiome in healthy volunteers
Document Type: Peer-Reviewed Journal Article
Conclusion: Humic acids have a profound effect on the healthy colonic microbiome and may be potentially interesting substances for the development of drugs that control the innate colonic microbiome.

Conclusion: Shilajit increases energy and acts as a detoxifying agent.
Title: Shilajit: A Humic Matter Panacea for Cancer
Document Type: Peer-Reviewed Journal Article
Conclusion: Shilajit has been used for the treatment of hypersensitivity, diabetes, digestive disorders, nervous diseases, tuberculosis, chronic bronchitis, asthma, anemia, eczema, bone fractures, genitourinary diseases and many other diseases. Fulvic acid is the main component of Shilajit and along with FA and HA, it also contains minerals in ionic form. These minerals are transported to the cells and tissues by fulvic acid, which maintains the electrical potential of the body's cells and thus possibly prevents their death, provides longevity and could act as a rejuvenator. It helps in metabolism and energy production in the body. It may also act as a detoxifying agent for the body and may work as an immunomodulator and helps in hematopoiesis.

Conclusion: Fulvic acid can improve intestinal microbiota and nutrient absorption, and cure intestinal disorders.
Title: Therapeutic potential of fulvic acid in chronic inflammatory diseases and diabetes
Document Type: Peer-Reviewed Journal Article
Conclusion: In agriculture, fulvic acid (FA) has been shown to influence the composition of soil microbes and can conjugate with various minerals, which helps in plant uptake. As a result, FA is suggested to improve gut flora, nutrient absorption, and cure gut-related adverse disorders.

Conclusion: Fulvic acid regulates intestinal health.
Title: Humic substances as potent biomaterials for therapeutic and drug delivery systems: a review
Document Type: Review Article
Conclusion: The immunomodulatory property of fulvic acid influences the redox status and affects intestinal health.

Conclusion: Fulvic and humic acids show therapeutic effects against intestinal health problems such as diarrhea, dysentery and colitis.
Title: Medical drugs from humus matter: focus on mumie.
Document Type: Review Article
Conclusion: Regarding internal use, fulvic and humic acids have been shown to be particularly useful in the treatment of gastritis, diarrhea, stomach ulcers (antiulcerogenic and anti-stress activity), dysentery, colitis and diabetes mellitus.
