TruFulvic® (Fulvic Acid from Shilajit — Natreon)

Evidence Level
Limited
0 Clinical Trials
3 Documented Benefits
2/5 Evidence Score

TruFulvic® is a purified fulvic acid ingredient from Natreon, standardized to at least 70% fulvic acid from shilajit, the mineral-rich substance from Himalayan rocks. Fulvic acid is studied for supporting cellular energy and delivering trace minerals, though human clinical evidence for the isolated compound is still developing.

Studied Dose Commonly around 250 to 500 mg per day.
Active Compound Purified fulvic acid (minimum 70%) from shilajit, with amino acids and trace minerals.

Benefits

Cellular energy

Fulvic acid from shilajit is studied for supporting mitochondrial energy production, the basis for its use in energy and vitality formulas.

Mineral delivery

TruFulvic supplies fulvic acid along with a broad range of trace minerals important for normal body function.

Antioxidant support

Fulvic acid shows antioxidant activity that may help protect cells from oxidative stress; human data are still developing.

Mechanism of action

1

Mitochondrial support

Fulvic acid is studied for supporting the mitochondria, the cells' energy factories, and the transport of nutrients into cells.

2

Mineral chelation

Fulvic acid binds and carries minerals, supporting their delivery and use by the body.

Clinical trials

Side effects and drug interactions

Common Potential side effects

Generally well-tolerated.
Choose a purified, tested form to avoid contaminants found in raw shilajit.
Mild digestive upset is occasionally reported.

Important Drug interactions

Iron and mineral medications — fulvic acid binds minerals; separate dosing.
Tell your doctor about all supplements if you take medication.
Use caution if pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing a condition.
