Solubility
Our process begins with the highest quality raw material humate micro-pulverized in its naturally dry form, precisely blended into our proprietary alkaline or acidic wet chemistry formulas and micro-quad filtered to separate out all insoluble material.
Where other manufacturers offer similar looking products, it is important to note that not all humic products are the same. as a result, many of our competitor’s products are either completely insoluble (raw material humate/humus) or they contain high levels of undissolved solids. clogging sprayers and most importantly leaving the farmer with nothing but headaches and frustration.
In addition to our wet chemistry extraction, we have developed industry leading spray drying and PATENTED granulation technology to create the world’s finest 100% water soluble, highly concentrated, functional humic acid products.
Remember… We didn’t invent humic, we just perfected it!
What are Humic Acids?
All soils and bodies of water contain humic compounds, which are byproducts of the decomposition of organic material such as trees, shrubs and plants. Leonardite has a significant amount of humic acids compared to other organic compounds. Leonardite is the result of a humification process that took 70 million years to complete, whereas peat took only a few thousand years to produce.
Humic and Fulvic acids, are the biological core and major component of natural humic matter. They are intricate molecules that naturally occur in soil, bogs, seas, and freshwater. Humic & Fulvic acids are a fantastic all-natural and organic approach to provide soil and plants bioavailable nutrients.
By extraction, they are separated into humin, humic acid, and fulvic acid. Humic acid, which is the major component, creates the biological core of the humus. Humic acid can be found in a layer of soft brown coal that has not yet transitioned into lignite at concentrations of up to 85-90%. Internationally, this stratum of soft oxidized subbituminous coal is known as leonardite. Its high level of oxidation and high concentration of carboxyl groups in humic acids are what make it so functional.
Humus is made up of short-chained chemical compounds of various types, such as polysaccharides, polypeptides, aliphatic groups (fats), and lignin fragments. These compounds form aggregates with cations and clay particles creating micropores in the soil where roots, water, oxygen, nutrients, and microbes can reside.
