The Problem

Global declines in human health can be traced to many factors including environmental, social, economic, and individual. Food quality has been affected by all of these pressures, creating a downward trend that seems almost impossible to reverse. Put simply, our food no longer contains the nutritional density it once did.

Environmental factors

Soil erosion, salinity, acidification, intensive farming, drought, flooding, herbicides, pesticides, and contaminants have all degraded soil quality. Poor soils produce crops with lower nutrient density.

As Dr Charles Northen observed:
“Soil building is the basis of food building in order to accomplish human building.”

Economic factors

Farmers face increasing pressure from supermarkets and governments to prioritise yield, appearance, and profit over nutritional value.

Social factors

Modern life is fast-paced. Long working hours, constant commitments, and convenience eating often undermine our ability to give the body what it truly requires.

Individual factors

Chronic health conditions and daily habits can impair mineral absorption, increase excretion rates, and contribute to heavy metal accumulation.

Why Minerals Matter

The human body is approximately 96% carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen. Another 3.5% is made up of calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sulphur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium. The remaining 0.5% include trace elements such as iodine, zinc, selenium, iron, manganese, and others, which play an outsized role in health.

Trace elements are essential for cellular function at biological, chemical, and molecular levels. Both deficiency and excess can cause dysfunction and chronic disease.

Simply supplementing with isolated minerals or attempting aggressive detox routines can do more harm than good. Minerals in their natural, organic form are bound to carbon structures, created when humic substances from soils attach to inorganic minerals. These humic substances form the bridge between soil and life.

Fulvic Acid: The Bridge

Fulvic acid is a specific humic substance with a unique molecular structure. Its small size and high reactivity allow it to carry minerals into cells and help remove unwanted compounds.

Modern research has shown fulvic acid can influence nutrient absorption, antioxidant activity, immune modulation, and detoxification pathways. Laboratory and animal studies suggest potential benefits in areas ranging from energy metabolism to inflammation and gut health. Early human studies are promising, though large-scale clinical trials remain limited.

The reality is that natural compounds like fulvic acid are rarely studied to the same extent as pharmaceuticals because they cannot be patented. That does not diminish their potential, it simply reflects the economics of research.

Comparing Options

Nutrient-dense foods
Eating whole, quality foods is always beneficial. Yet soil depletion means nutrient content is unpredictable, and sourcing exotic foods can be costly and impractical.

Multivitamins and tablets
Tablets are convenient but often contain poorly absorbed forms of minerals, unnecessary fillers, and lack many essential trace elements. Individual elements can also create toxicity risks.

Shilajit and similar resins
While traditional, these products are foul-tasting, messy, and often contaminated with heavy metals. Testing is inconsistent, and premium sources are hard to obtain reliably.

Zeolite supplements
Zeolites are volcanic minerals often promoted for detoxification. They can bind metals in laboratory settings, but they do so indiscriminately - removing both harmful and beneficial minerals. Evidence in humans is limited, and safety data is sparse. By contrast, fulvic acid has the unique ability to work in harmony with the body, supporting balance by enhancing the uptake of essential minerals while aiding the removal of excess or unwanted compounds

Liquid mineral supplements
Easier to consume, but many are synthetic, poorly absorbed, and incomplete. Safety concerns remain, particularly around toxicity.

Origen’s Elemental
Origen offers a different path. Elemental is naturally derived, almost tasteless, and rigorously tested to guarantee purity. Each serve delivers 300mg of humic substances and 150mg of fulvic acid. Its unique composition allows it to act both as a comprehensive mineral source and a gentle detoxifier.

Why Origen’s Elemental is Superior

Naturally derived formulation
Elemental is technically classified as a food. Extracted from pristine soils using advanced methods, it is rich in fulvic and humic compounds along with a full spectrum of trace minerals. Unlike products relying on chemical extraction, Origen delivers purity without contaminants.

High bioavailability
Not all minerals are equal. The body requires fulvic acid to transport nutrients into and out of cells efficiently. Origen’s Elemental works in harmony with the body, offering far greater absorption and lower toxicity risk compared to synthetic multivitamins or compressed tablets.

Safety and testing
Every batch undergoes gold-standard laboratory testing to verify potency and freedom from contaminants. Unlike poorly regulated shilajit or untested liquid minerals, Elemental is certified safe and effective.

Elemental vs competitors
Many products are dominated by humic acid with little fulvic content. Producing fulvic is more costly, but Origen refuses to compromise. Each 10ml serve of Elemental provides 150mg of fulvic acid (one of the highest concentrations available) backed by independent certification.

Conclusion

Origen’s Elemental is more than a multi-mineral. It is a return to the original foundation of human health - providing pure, bioavailable fulvic and humic compounds from the earth itself, tested and verified for modern standards.
