FULVICFORCE FULVIC ACID – AN ESSENTIAL INGREDIENT IN SKIN HEALTH

Although FulvicForce does not make any medical claims, there’s a body of research and scientific papers (refer to a selected list of papers at the end of this page) indicating that fulvic acid offers a significant spectrum of benefits for people afflicted with various skin conditions. These benefits are summarised below.

Based on “The Role of Fulvic Acid in Skin Health” by Peter Gouge, BSc (Hons) Nutrition, RNutr

The skin is the largest organ in the human body and, along with this, it is our indicator of poor health. Many physiological conditions express themselves on the skin and this is vital for diagnosis and treatment. Many people often reach for topical treatments for skin conditions, but most of the time that will merely control a symptom of a more underlying problem.

Skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and acne are now extremely common in society and many people seek pharmaceutical medication to help combat these problems. These conditions can make the life of the sufferer extremely uncomfortable by either causing itchiness, pain or by effecting confidence in social situations. Many people think that they have to suffer with these conditions for the rest of their life, and in many case this is not true. Fulvic acid can be the answer to many sufferers of skin conditions (refer to selected references at the end of this summary).

FULVICFORCE FULVIC ACID – AN ESSENTIAL INGREDIENT IN SKIN HEALTH

The anti-inflammatory effect of fulvic acid is yet to be fully understood, however clinical trials show that the administration of fulvic acid reduces the production and impact of pro-inflammatory substances. As many skin conditions show some form of inflammation, fulvic acid therapy is essential in improving the health of skin.

FULVIC ACID POSSESSES ANTI-BACTERIAL PROPERTIES TO COMBAT ACNE

The anti-bacterial effect of fulvic acid is thought to be attributed to the fact that it balances the pH in our body. An acidic environment gives rise to a very poor immune system so it is vital that our body pH remains just above neutral in a slightly alkaline state. Once this is achieved, which may take a few months of fulvic acid therapy, our immune system will efficiently locate and destroy any bacterial overgrowth such as that experienced in some outbreaks of acne.

FULVIC ACID COMBINES WITH SILICA TO PROVIDE THE MOST EFFECTIVE ANTI-AGEING FORMULATION AVAILABLE

Many people, who take fulvic acid supplements which also contain vegetal silica, also mention that their skin feels very soft after a few weeks of use. This is due to the fact that fulvic acid can dissolve silica into a form that is very easy for our skin cells to use.

Silica is vital for the collagen structures in our skin to remain elastic. It is this elasticity that is lost when wrinkles start to appear. Many people spend a huge amount of money on face creams and moisturisers with little to no effect. The most effective way of preventing wrinkles is now known to be fulvic acid and silica.

FULVIC ACID DETOXIFIES OUR CELLS TO ENSURE THAT ENVIRONMENTAL TOXINS CANNOT CAUSE SKIN PROBLEMS

The physical structure of fulvic acid allows it to carry many different substances. It can hold up to 70 different trace minerals. However, it can also bind and hold substances that are in quantities that are not desirable to the human body, i.e. toxins. Everything is toxic to us in excess quantities and there is nothing better than fulvic acid for balancing undesirable substances back to safe levels.

FulvicForce is South Africa’s one and only fulvic acid product extracted from coal according to a patented process. FulvicForce product is literally an organic extract from plants, which lived hundreds of millions years ago, thus carrying their mineral, nutritional and remedial value, concentrated through a slow natural refinement process of transforming ancient plant matter into coal.
