Boosting Your Immune System with Humic/Fulvic Acid

There are many ways in which humic and fulvic acids provide support to the immune system.

Their anti-viral properties act to prevent viruses from replicating and therefore decrease the total viral load on the body.

Because these compounds are powerful antioxidants, they scavenge free radicals and reduce the need for the inflammatory response by the immune system.

Humic substances further reduce that inflammatory response by protecting and improving the integrity of the gut membrane.  This keeps pathogens out and minimizes allergens.

Although they are technically acids, their action in the body is as a buffer.  A buffer is a substance that works to neutralize and balance pH.  When our bodies become more acidic, usually due to our acidic diet or kidney problems, the immune system does not function optimally. Acidosis, too low a pH in the body, causes premature aging.  Taking in this buffer will literally help keep you (your cells) young!

All of these benefits take the work load off of the immune system and keep it from being overwhelmed.  Add to that the increased nutrition carried to the immune cells themselves, and you will see these compounds provide quite a shot in the arm to a tired immune system.
