How long have people been using humates and humic fulvic acids?
For centuries. In China humic fulvic acid is called wu-ju-san. The Anastazi—”pueblo” people who once inhabited the “Four-Corners” regions of the present-day Southwestern United States—called humic acid red rock. Humate products are treasured in certain areas of Russia and, in 2006, the government there approved humic-fulvic acid for export for the first time. In India, humate that’s been liquefied is called shilajit. Humic-fulvic minerals have been used agriculture in the United States at least for decades to fertilize plants, nourish livestock, and heal thoroughbred racehorses.
