Humifulvate is obtained from a 3,000 - 10,000 year old geologically young peat deposit on the shores of Lake Balaton in Hungary. These peat deposits contain many types of humic and fulvic acids, chemical by-products of decomposition of organic matter. Humic and fulvic acids are very efficient chelators and ion exchangers. By organically binding trace minerals, they assist in the incorporation of these trace minerals into organisms more efficiently than inorganic forms, such as found in most vitamin/mineral supplements on the market today.

Humic substances are the most common forms of organic carbon in the natural environment and are widespread on the surface of the earth. Most humic substances are attached to inorganic components (clay and oxides), and a smaller part gets dissolved in the solutions of the soil, particularly under alkaline conditions. An important feature of humic substances is that they can combine with metal ions, oxides and clay minerals to form water soluble or insoluble complexes and can interact with organic compounds such as alkenes, fatty acids, capillary-active substances and pesticides.

There is perhaps no substance more vital to life, (with the possible exception of oxygen and water) than the biologically derived compounds known as Humic and Fulvic acids. Humic and Fulvic acids enter into all life processes within plants and animals. When necessary; they act as free-radical scavengers, supply vital electrolytes, enhance and transport nutrients, make water wetter, catalyze enzyme reactions, increase assimilation, stimulate metabolism, chelate essential major and trace elements making them organic, and demonstrate amazing capacity for electrochemical balance.

The physical and chemical properties of humic acids and their biological role in bacteria, fungi, viruses and plants have been well documented. Research indicates that humic acid is absorbed in vivo, and can act as an active agent modifying biochemical reactions. Its effects on cell metabolism, enzymes, free radicals and minerals have been documented in the literature. The ability of humic acids to form bonds with metal ions explains their ability to chelate with heavy metals and aid in their elimination from the body. Humic acids also have desmutagenic effects, antioxidant and anticoagulant activity.
