Fulvic Acid for Metabolic Syndrome
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
Fulvic acid is a naturally occurring compound derived from the decomposition of organic matter in soil over long periods. Fulvic acid complexes, such as MLG-50 (MLG-50® Mineral Logic, Kalamazoo, Michigan), offer a highly concentrated, water-soluble form of fulvic acid that contains over 70 trace minerals and elements. Our preclinical studies have found that a soil derived organic mineral complex rich in fulvic acid prevented the high fat diet induced hyperglycemia, endothelial dysfunction, liver injury, endotoxemia, and gut dysbiosis induced by high-fat feeding in rats. We propose to examine the efficacy of fulvic acid (both 50 mg and 100 mg daily for 12 weeks) in the mitigation of symptoms related to metabolic syndrome.
