Can Fulvic Acid Prevent Alzheimer’s Disease?

While the mechanisms behind Alzheimer’s disease are still not fully understood, several recent scientific studies have determined that Fulvic Acid appears to protect against cognitive impairments, including Alzheimer’s disease.

The Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease on Fulvic Acid

In 2011, The Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease published a promising scientific study that determined Fulvic acid supplementation delivers certain antioxidants with nutraceutical properties that may protect against cognitive impairments, including Alzheimer’s disease.

In that article they wrote that; “Fulvic acid, is known by its properties such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and memory enhancer… [and] investigations indicate that Fulvic acid is an anti-aggregation factor of tau protein in vitro, which projects Fulvic acid as a potential anti-Alzheimer’s disease molecule.”

WebMD on Fulvic Acid & Alzheimer’s Disease

Respected medical website WebMD.com, the largest provider of online health care and pharmaceutical information, specifically states that Fulvic Acid “might also interrupt steps involved in the worsening of brain disorders such as dementia.”

How Fulvic Acid Affects Alzheimer’s Disease

Contributing factors believed to contribute to the development of Alzheimer’s Disease, dementia & other cognitive disorders include:

1. free radical damage
2. a type of protein called tau
3. exposure to heavy metals
4. toxic “plaque” on the brain

Fulvic Acid Lowers Free Radical Damage

Free radicals are present inside of every human body – serving the function of fighting pathogens (germs, bacteria & viruses). But having too many free radicals speeds up the aging process, and results in disease formation. Exposure to environmental pollutants, low nutrient intake, smoking, too much UV light exposure, and eating processed all contribute to raising free radical damage to a dangerous level.

Fulvic acid contains antioxidants that counter the effects of free radicals. It is speculated that this may be one of the ways in which Fulvic Acid helps slow Alzheimer’s DIsease, and other cognitive impairment.

Fulvic Acid Disables Tau Proteins

Studies also show that Fulvic acid helps lower the length of tau fibrils – which disables them from their performance and stops the Alzheimer’s disease progression.

Fulvic Acid Detoxifies Heavy Metals

Fulvic acid helps in detoxifying the body of many harmful substances – including radioactive waste and heavy metals – that are believed to contribute to brain disorders. Fulvic acid extends the permeability and lifespan of cells, providing electrolytes that have numerous functions within the heart, muscles, and brain, while removing toxins from those same cells.

Fulvic Acid May Protect the Brain from Plaque

A UCLA study published in the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry recently established that the Mediterranean diet seems to be protective against Alzheimer’s disease – by keeping toxic plaques and tangles associated with the development of Alzheimer’s disease from developing.

Food staples of the Mediterranean diet include fresh fruits and vegetables – particularly leafy greens like spinach and kale, and non-starch vegetables such as eggplant, cauliflower, artichokes, tomatoes and fennel. However, many of the fruit and vegetables we currently eat are devoid of the disease fighting nutrients due to modern agricultural practices.

Fulvic acid contains the same life-sustaining minerals, in organic form, that are found in the fruits and vegetables of the Mediterranean Diet. And when these essential minerals are chelated by Fulvic Acid, they are more readily absorbed by the body’s cells.

Nature’s Fulvic Daily Maintenance Multi-Minerals contain 70 organic plant source minerals . . . enabling the body to get the Mediterranean Diet nutrition it needs, that has been removed from today’s food chain.
