What Is Fulvic Acid, and Why Is It in So Many Alovit Formulas?
It shows up in our magnesium, selenium, iodine, inositol and more. Here is what we use, where it comes from, and what we do not claim.
Fulvic acid appears across a lot of the Alovit range. A short, honest explainer from the people who formulated it.
Read the back of an Alovit bottle and you will often find the same line near the bottom of the panel: fulvic acid. It is in Magnesium 3X, in Selen Pro, in Iodine Complex, in our inositol and R-lipoic acid capsules, and in the liquid magnesium. That is deliberate, and worth explaining plainly.
Where ours comes from
In our liquid and spray formulas the fulvic acid is listed as oat hull extract, right in the ingredients, so you can see exactly what it is. Where a capsule quotes a milligram figure — 10 mg in Magnesium 3X, 70 mg in Stabilized R-Lipoic Acid, 111 mg in Selen Pro — that is the amount per capsule.
What we claim, and what we do not
Our claims come from the active nutrient in each product — magnesium, selenium, iodine, vitamin C — using wording that is already permitted for those nutrients. We do not make separate health claims for fulvic acid itself. It is part of how our formulators build these products, and the amount is printed on the label like everything else.
Every ingredient is on the panel at the dose it is present. If we cannot print it, we do not put it in.
