MORE FULVIC content than similar named products
Why our Fulvic
Purity, Concentration, pH & Blend
These are the four attributes that makes Fulvic Acid Australia’s “The Natural Edge” a leader in the industry.
Offering you the best quality and highest % concentrated Fulvic on the market.
Our Lamar test proves it.
Purity
The purity of our fulvic acid is reflected in its very low salt levels measured as electrical conductivity. Our low levels are a result of our superior separation technology. Only the natural salts that are in fulvic are present.
Many other companies produce fulvic through a chemical process known as base-acid extraction, in which they dissolve the oxidised lignite with a highly alkaline chemical then add a concentrated acid such as hydrochloric or sulphuric acid which makes all the fractions of the oxidised lignite precipitate out except for the fulvic. What remains however isn’t just the fulvic, but water and extremely high concentration of salts formed from the base-acid extraction in a dangerously acidic solution of pH 2 that is harmful to ingest without dilution. (See section on pH)
Purity and being 100% natural are the hallmarks of The Natural Edge.
Concentration
Most fulvic acid products derived by chemical extraction have hardly any fulvic acid. Many products have less than 3% fulvic concentration. Some of the better products might be closer to 8-12%. The Natural Edge Fulvic has many times the concentration of fulvic acid compared to most other fulvic acid products.
Ask for a Lamar Test so that you can compare. If they cant provide test results would you really trust the sales talk where some claim ‘highest concentration on the market’?
Here is our Lamar test for you to compare.
pH
The third measure of quality is pH. Our slightly acidic pH is dictated by the natural pH of humic substances which are generally of minor acidity. Our fulvic has a stable and unadulterated pH that is non-caustic and relatively neutral.
Competitors deliberately manipulate pH to separate the fractions of humic substances and recover fulvic acid. The pH of a solution containing humic substances is first raised to approximately 10.0 using a strong base such as potassium hydroxide. At this pH, larger sized humic molecules precipitate out of solution leaving the both medium and smaller humic molecules (humic acid and fulvic acid, respectively). The solution is once again manipulated using a strong acid such as hydrochloric acid. Once a pH of 2.0 is achieved, the humic acid molecules fall out of solution and fulvic acid remains. The pH of this solution is unnaturally acidic and dangerous to plants and humans when it is applied undiluted. Moreover, such acidity can solubilize metals to toxic levels and destroy microorganisms. Competitors will often raise their product’s pH to a more neutral level by adding more of a caustic base. However, in doing so another detriment manifests in the form of increasing the already high level of salts.
Blend
Fulvic acid is a naturally occurring fraction of humic substances. The fulvic acid molecules colloidal poly-dispersed and amorphous, in other words starting from the basic molecular structure there exists a variety of sizes of these molecules from small to large, often expressed in varying molecular weights from low to high. The Natural Edge Fulvic represents a spectrum of molecules with varying sizes. The Patented extraction technology allows us to target the specific molecular sizing and come up with the optimum blend of low to high molecular weight fulvic acid molecules. When comparing fulvic content being sold on the market, not only is the fulvic % high, we also have an extremely high % of humic content, which offers another set of potential health benefits.
