Humic Acid Aids in Healthy Digestion

The importance of our healthy “gut microbiome” has recently received a great deal of study.

Due to widespread use of antibiotics, chemical fertilizers, environmental toxins, and of course our processed and fast-food diet, great harm has been done to the all-important gut membrane.

The gut membrane is the barrier where nutrients in the digestive tract are transported into the bloodstream.  Unfortunately, damage to that membrane causes something called leaky gut syndrome.  That means the membrane has been damaged and is no longer able to be highly selective about letting only the good stuff in and keeping the harmful things out!

The same factors that degrade the membrane, also harm the "good bacteria" in our digestive tract. These microbes perform essential functions including the breakdown of foods and aiding in cellular communication.

Humic and Fulvic acids help restore and keep the integrity of the gut membrane barrier.  They also stabilize and encourage growth of the probiotics (good bacteria) we need.  

Both of these factors lead to a decrease in chronic inflammation which has been shown to lead to a variety of diseases.
