Why are there so many variances in product analysis and concentration claims?
Currently there is not an industry standard for procedural analysis of humic and fulvic acids. Therefore people use different test methods, which ultimately yield different results. The same substance sent to different labs will come back with a variety of numbers, depending on the labs methods. Many of these tests lack thorough quantitative analysis. As an example when measuring for fulvic acid many tests include the weight of the chemical salts, leftover from the extraction method. As we do not use any chemicals to extract our fulvic the analysis we receive is actual. Additionally we are proud members of the International Humic Substance Society (IHSS) and support their recommended method. The IHSS wishes to standardize industry procedures with a thorough analytical method, so as to alleviate consumer confusion and create an even playing field. However, thorough testing often results in lower numbers as salts and other substances are accounted for. With standardization many companies
