The word “superfood” may fill your head with images of açai berry concoctions, matcha green tea smoothies, spirulina and kale bowls, and all manner of weird looking fruits promising the world.
Though they may actually taste pretty good, the truth is that it’s not really possible to consume these superfoods in high enough quantities to reap any significant benefit. A superfood is any food that is particularly nutrient dense or contains a high concentration of antioxidants.
A new superfood trend is one you may not have heard of: humic and fulvic acid.
We now know that millions of years ago, what is now Alberta, Canada, was covered in luscious vegetation and water, and dinosaurs roamed. In this nutrient-rich and biologically vibrant environment, humic substances were created.
Humic and fulvic acids have been created over millions of years by nature herself. These precious deposits are nutritional powerhouses, being ionically charged and bursting with more than 70 trace minerals, amino acids, probiotics, prebiotics, enzymes and antioxidants. In fact, these deposits may contain the single most concentrated source of nutrition on the face of the earth.
Going back to as early as the 15th century during the Ming dynasty in Asia, humic and fulvic acid have been used medicinally. Ancient Indian Ayurvedic texts speak about shilajit and its potential benefits – benefits that people today still enjoy.
Shilajit is nothing less than a total-body health tonic with a pedigree going back thousands of years. The benefits of humic and fulvic acid are immense:
- increased energy
- improved gut and digestive health
- better nutrient absorption
- optimized alkalinity
AEON is mother nature’s own elixir of health, and perhaps the original superfood. AEON is a nutraceutical grade daily supplement that’s convenient to use – just one dropper into a glass of water or other beverage is all it takes to start feeling the benefits.
We share plenty of information about shilajit and fulvic and humic acids on our blog.
