First, it is critical to understand the 100% in a product advertised as 100% Fulvic Acid has nothing to do with its concentration.

Learn The Benchmarks of a Superior Fulvic or Humic Product The following Quality Benchmarks are probably the Most Important to consider when choosing a Superior-Quality Fulvic Acid Product are the following: Benchmarks 1. Concentration and Effective Dose of Fulvic (Remember, the Effective Dose is a function of both Concentration and how much you take. For example, if you can take a very small amount (5-7 drops) of even the Highest - Concentrated product you would not get very much Fulvic. 2. Quality of Raw Materials The quality of Raw Materials dictate the quality of the finished product. 3. How and Where Products are Produced - a State-of-the-Art Production Facility with Experienced Personnel Using Modern Production Processes and Equipment. 4. USDA Registered Organic 5. A Price that is Affordable, all things being equal. Benchmark #1: Concentration and Effective Dose There are two aspects of a product s Fulvic or Humic concentration that are critical to understand and review and are discussed here: The concentration of a product (how much Humic and/or Fulvic is in a liquid or powder), And, how much of it are you taking every day (the effective daily dose) which is a function of both concentration and the amount you take. You can be taking a very concentrated product, but if you are taking a small amount, you may not be getting very much Fulvic. First, it is critical to understand the 100% in a product advertised as 100% Fulvic Acid has nothing to do with its concentration. The "100%" refers to the following: Humic Acid contains several molecules, including Fulvic, which naturally occur together. When Fulvic is separated from the other Humic acids, it is at that point it is called a 100% Fulvic Acid product, or a 100% Fulvic Acid in Solution product. How much Fulvic acid is dissolved in the water (or whatever else was used to separate or dilute it) of the 100% Fulvic Acid Product, is the concentration. 1

There are many ways to express concentration numerically and they are interchangeable which can make things confusing. The Concentration of a Superior quality 100% Fulvic Acid product should contain at least 10% Fulvic in solution, 10% Fulvic in Solution is also expressed as 100,000 parts per million (100,000 ppm) of Fulvic (ppm is shorthand notation for Parts Per Million) in ONE OUNCE DAILY don t forget the one ounce amount. Remember not to get confused that the "100%" in the term 100% Fulvic Acid refers to concentration. The 100% means that only Fulvic is in the solution because it has been separated from the other Humic molecules. How much Fulvic is in the solution is the concentration concentration varies widely in the marketplace. A Superior Fulvic product has 10% Fulvic for a 100,000 ppm solution, THE GOLD STANDARD 100,000 ppm or 10% IN ONE OUNCE is the Gold Standard Mother Earth Labs has adopted for our 100% Fulvic Acid products and Humic products that have additional Fulvic blended in them to increase Humic s natural Fulvic concentration. 100,000 ppm or 10% of Fulvic is the concentration to give optimum benefit for human health, not 10,000 parts per million (1.0%), or 1,000 parts per million (0.1%). But Remember: If a product has a Fulvic Concentration of 100,000 ppm or 100x or even as high as 350,000 ppm or 350x, but you are only taking 5-12 drops of it, this is NOT A SUPERIOR QUALITY FULVIC ACID PRODUCT (See Effective Dose below). It must be the equivalent to the Fulvic you will receive taking at least ONE OUNCE of a 100,000 ppm Fulvic product to be considered a SUPERIOR QUALITY FULVIC PRODUCT. You will soon see how much you take is as important as a product s actual concentration! Second, a Product s Concentration is not the only consideration when determining how much Fulvic you are receiving everyday. How much of a product you are taking per day (EFFECTIVE DAILY DOSE) also affects how much Fulvic you are receiving each day. In other words, taking ½ ounce of a 100% Fulvic product with a concentration of 10% (100,000 ppm) is not the same as taking 1 ounce of a product with the same concentration of 10% (100,000 ppm). In this example, even though both products have the same concentration you would receive less Fulvic by taking only ½ an ounce versus a full one ounce. 2

HOW TO COMPARE CONCENTRATION AND EFFECTIVE DOSE A Real World Example Let s take two products sold in the marketplace and compare them on this Quality Benchmark to see how this works. QUALITY BENCHMARKS AND THEIR EQUIVALENTS ARE LISTED IN APPENDIX A HEAD-TO-HEAD PRODUCT ANALYSIS PRODUCT #1: Product: A Fulvic Product Sold on the internet Concentration: 350,000 PPM or 350X or 35% (Highly-Concentrated) PRODUCT #2: Product: Fulvic Minerals Super Concentrate 400x Mother Earth Labs, Inc. Concentration: 400,000 PPM or 400X or 40% or (Highly-Concentrated) Bottle Volume: 2 Ounces Bottle Volume: 4 Ounces 3

SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE DOSE: 5-7 Drops / Day Milligram (mg) Equivalent / Day: 98.5 mg 137.9 mg / Day Quality Benchmark for Effective Dose (Function of Concentration and Amount Taken See Table Above): Poor Even with a High Concentration, Product #1 is Rated as Poor because of the Very Low Effective Dose. SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE DOSE: 75 Drops / 3 Dropperfuls / Day Milligram (mg) Equivalent / Day: 1,478.50 mg / Day Quality Benchmark for Effective Dose (Function of Concentration and Amount Taken See Table Above): Superior Product #2 has a High Concentration, and is Rated Superior because of the High Effective Dose. Product Cost per bottle: $37.95 # Drops per Bottle: 800 drops (based on 400 drops per ounce) Product Cost per bottle: $37.95 # Drops per Bottle: 1600 drops (based on 400 drops per ounce) 4

HEAD-TO-HEAD COMPARISON ANALYSIS EFFECTIVE DOSE PRODUCT #1 You would need to take 85.7 drops (not 5-7 drops) PER DAY of PRODUCT #1 (a 350,000 ppm product) to equal the amount of Fulvic in Mother Earth Labs 400,000 ppm product and Achieve a Superior Quality Benchmark = PRODUCT #2 Mother Earth Labs FULVIC MINERALS SUPER CONCENTRATE 75 drops per day (1,478.5 mg) (a 400,000 ppm product) A Superior Quality Benchmark for both Concentration and Effective Dose In other words, TO ACHIEVE A SUPERIOR BENCHMARK for both CONCENTRATION AND EFFECTIVE DOSE, you would need to take 85.7 drops (NOT 5-7 DROPS as advertised) per day of Product #1 at 350,000 ppm, to equal the amount of Fulvic in Mother Earth Labs Fulvic Minerals Super Concentrate 400x - 75 drops at 400,000 ppm. Product #1 even with a high concentration of 350,000 ppm, would only receive a Poor Benchmark for both Concentration and Effective Dose because it is taken only at 5-7 drops per day which is only 98.5 mg 137.9 mg per day of Fulvic. This is considered a very weak effective dose. A product with a Poor Benchmark for Concentration and Effective Dose may provide benefit, but not nearly the benefit a product with a Superior Benchmark can provide. Product #2 Mother Earth Labs FULVIC MINERALS SUPER CONCENTRATE400X has a high concentration of 400,000 ppm, but receives a SUPERIOR QUALITY BENCHMARK for Concentration and Effective Dose because 75 drops or 1,478.50 mg per day are taken. Mother Earth Labs FULVIC MINERALS SUPER CONCENTRATE 400X (Superior) has 15 times the effective dose of Product #1 (Poor) even though both have high concentrations. This is a very significant difference. 5

VALUE Let s look at actual costs for the amount of Fulvic needed to achieve a Superior Benchmark for Effective Dose (a Function of Concentration and Amount Taken) PRODUCT #1 A bottle of Product #1 would last 9.33 days to take enough to achieve a Superior Benchmark for Effective Dose. (There are 400 drops per ounce. In one 2 ounce bottle of Product #1, there are 800 drops (2 x 400 drops) per bottle. The number of days the bottle will last is equal to 800 drops divided by 85.7 drops per day: 800 / 85.7 = 9.33 days) You would need 3.43 bottles for a 32 day month s supply (calculated by dividing 32 days by 9.33 days which is the number of days a bottle would last taking 85.7 drops per day. It is advertised by the seller a single bottle will last 3-1/2 months which is true only measured by a Poor Benchmark for effective dose. A month s supply (3.43 bottles) to achieve a Superior Quality Benchmark for Concentration and Effective Dose of Product #1 would cost $130.17. (A single 2 ounce bottle costs $37.95, and you would need 3.43 bottles, so 3.43 bottles x $37.95 = $130.17) The Seller of Product #1 states that a bottle will last 3-1/2 months and therefore the monthly cost is only $12.65. This is true only at a Poor Quality Concentration and Effective Dose Benchmark which would be a very weak Effective dose. The monthly cost for Product #1 to achieve a Superior Quality Concentration and Effective Dose would again be $130.17 and you would need to purchase 3.43 bottles each month. PRODUCT #2 Mother Earth Labs, Inc. FULVIC MINERALS SUPER CONCENTRATE 400x A single 4 ounce bottle of Mother Earth Labs Fulvic Minerals Super Concentrate 400x would last 32 days for a Superior Quality Benchmark for Concentration and Effective Dose A FULL MONTH! You would need only 1 bottle for a 32 day / month s supply. A month s supply to achieve a Superior Quality Benchmark for Concentration and Effective Dose would cost only $37.95. This is a savings of $92.22 per month in this comparison to receive the amount of Fulvic per day for a Superior Quality Benchmark. 6

NOTES ABOUT PRODUCTS THAT CONTAIN ALL THE HUMIC ACIDS: Fulvic is just one of the Humic Acids. The Humic acids work synergistically together. Mother Earth Labs flagship product, THE GIFT from Mother Earth, contains all the Humic acids. It is unique because Super-Concentrated Fulvic acid has been blended to increase the natural Fulvic concentration in the Humic group to achieve Superior Quality Fulvic Concentration and Effective Dose Quality Benchmark. Humic solutions have a lower Fulvic concentration. In other words, in one ounce of THE GIFT, you will receive as much Fulvic as in one ounce of our 100% Fulvic product at 100,000 ppm, or 75 drops of our 400,000 ppm 100% Fulvic product. There is no longer the need to take both a Humic product and a Fulvic product to achieve a high-quality Fulvic concentration and experience the benefits of all the Humic acids. There are companies that sell only Humic. Humic is much easier and less costly to produce. If the product is exceptionally dark it is likely just Humic or if the marketing information states that the product has more Fulvic than a 100% Fulvic product because there is a lack of agreement where the Fulvic fraction (Lighter molecular weight fraction) starts, they are likely selling a straight Humic product. It is true about the lack of complete consensus, but the concentration statements are misleading. (see head-to-head study data). There are more examples you can see in the marketplace Head-to-Head Comparison Study of 100% Fulvic, Humic, and Fulvic Concentrated/Humic products published on this website. Mother Earth Labs, Inc. purchased other companies Humic and Fulvic products and paid an independent testing laboratory to test them. Products were shipped from the manufacturer/distributor directly to testing lab and were not in the possession of Mother Earth Labs prior to the tests. All tests were completed by the same technicians at the same time at the independent laboratory and testing methods used were identical so products could be fairly compared, although product names or company names are not provided in fairness because the study did not represent all products. You can see the test results for yourself. NOTES ABOUT CONCENTRATION AND EFFECTIVE DOSE FOR CAPSULES OR POWDER There is also a Concentration Benchmark for Fulvic Powder in capsules, tablets or bulk powder. Mother Earth Labs, Inc. sells Fulvic (Best Fulvic ) and Fulvic Concentrated Humic/Fulvic (The Gift from Mother Earth ) in liquid, capsules and bulk powder. 7

These powder delivery systems are exciting because the Humic and Fulvic retain their activity because of how they are produced. It took almost 2 years to refine these processes. The products can be shipped more economically for the customer, especially international customers. It is also more convenient for people who travel. A minimum of 36 grams (36,000 mg) of Pure Fulvic per month is the Gold Standard Mother Earth Labs has adopted. That's at least 36 grams of Pure Fulvic-- not pure Fulvic and filler that total 36 grams. It is important to note that the use of an appropriate filler is not bad for capsules or tablets, its bad when the weight of the filler is included to achieve the minimum weight of 36 grams. Bulk powder should not be sold with fillers, unless it is requested by the customer. Powder should contain at least a minimum of 80% Fulvic. Care should be taken that you are receiving at least 36 grams of pure Fulvic powder in your capsules or tablets every month, not 2.1 grams (2,100 milligrams) of Fulvic per month. This small amount is the amount you would receive by taking a Superior Quality product for only 1-1/2 days. Benchmark #2: Source of Raw Humic Materials A Superior-Quality Humic and Fulvic Product can only be produced from superior-quality raw materials. High quality raw materials have a high Humic and Fulvic content and are free from toxins or impurities such as pollution, chemicals, heavy metals, pesticides, or fertilizers. The best sources of Raw Materials are from deposits that were originally beds of ancient lakes and estuaries during the late Cretaceous Period that are distant from large population centers where ground waters are still pure. It is sad to say, there are only a handful of these left in the World. Deposits contain a massive quantity of plant material that has been compressed over millions of years. It would be impossible to duplicate this quantity using Plant Sources alive today to produce highly concentrated Humic and Fulvic. Technical advances have enabled us to utilize these deposits and produce high-quality Humic and Fulvic products to support Human Health. 8

Deposits created from ancient lakes and estuaries are superior to deposits created by marine saltwater bodies because the average molecular weight of the Humic/Fulvic molecules is lower which results in greater Biological activity, and there are fewer impurities. Lower Average Molecular weight indicates a greater Fulvic concentration. A good example of greater biological activity resulting from a lower average molecular weight and thus a greater Fulvic concentration is increased cell membrane permeability. With a higher Fulvic concentration, more nutrients can get into cells through the cell membrane to support metabolic reactions and functions, and waste products normally produced in metabolic reactions inside the cell can be transported outside the cells through the membrane so they don't build up and become toxic inside the cell. Mother Earth Labs Fulvic and Humic/Fulvic products are derived from Humic deposits located in the wilderness Fruitland Formation of North America-well known to be the best in North America and among the finest and most sought after Humate deposits in the world because of its very rich Fulvic content, its low average molecular weight, and its purity. The Fruitland Formation is a pristine, remote mountainous wilderness area in Northwest New Mexico. It is very far from any metropolitan area and not downwind of coal-burning power plants that eject mercury and other heavy metals into in air. Many Northern U.S., Southern and Southeastern US, Asian and European deposits are slack (oxidized) lignite, also called Leonardite. These deposits are salt water-derived and contain a smaller Fulvic fraction. A smaller Fulvic fraction increases the average molecular weight which significantly reduces bioactivity. Contamination with toxic substances can be a concern with Southern and Eastern U.S. and many Canadian deposits because they are derived from coal-based humates. Also, Southern and Eastern deposits are more likely downwind from coal-burning power plants and typically have detectable levels of heavy metals and other impurities. Interestingly contracts for Fruitland deposits are all taken. They no longer available and haven t been for some time to new individuals or groups. Sometimes manufacturers or distributor groups develop marketing campaigns try to discredit Fruitland deposits, as well as any other deposit other than their own. Sometimes these campaigns are very persuasive on the surface such as UTube specific gravity demonstrations comparing very concentrated salt-added Fulvic solutions to very dilute Fruitland Fulvic solutions. Based on materials testing, the comparisons made and conclusions put forth are unfounded. Perhaps the inability to acquire Superiorquality ore makes it more likely groups would feel the need to mislead. 9

Carbon content in products from the Fruitland Formation is another example of misinformation used by a company that sells just a 100% Fulvic product. Humic and Fulvic molecules have carbon atoms. Heavier Humic molecules have more carbon than Fulvic molecules. When a product has all the Humic molecules including Fulvic, there is more carbon than a product that is just Fulvic alone. All the Humic molecules work synergistically together. Having Humic molecules in a product is a good thing. However, the Fulvic concentrations must be high enough to meet concentration Benchmarks. Most Humic products do not have high Fulvic concentrations naturally. Super-Concentrated Fulvic is blended with Humic to achieve very high Fulvic concentration in all of Mother Earth Labs Humic/Fulvic product line. Benchmark 3. Products are Produced in a State-ofthe-Art Production Facility, with Experienced Personnel Using Modern Production Processes Most people would prefer to purchase health supplement products from companies with technically and scientifically competent personnel who are involved in all stages from manufacture to packaging to delivery. A modern superior-quality Fulvic or Humic/Fulvic product should be produced using only ultra-pure, non-chlorinated water, rather than harsh chemicals, strong acids, or high-heat, to separate the Humic and Fulvic from the raw materials. Chlorine is highly reactive with Humic and Fulvic and creates a toxic substance - the same toxic substance that would result if you were to drink a glass of chlorinated water while eating a salad just much more of it. We hope you will avoid drinking chlorinated water at all. Products should also be produced in an environmentally controlled facility that maintains strict quality control standards by trained technicians. Quality control processes and environmental controls should be used to insure products are free from contamination from mold, bacteria, yeast, and fungus. Although it would seem like a given, surprisingly, care should be taken to determine that products are produced in a certified laboratory, by experienced competent personnel. Texas A&M, a Fulvic and Humic research institution, has refined extraction and purification processes over the last two decades. These processes are the same that are used to prepare Humic and Fulvic for use in research studies and clinical trials throughout the world. It is the same process used to produce Mother Earth Labs Fulvic and Humic/Fulvic products. The production facility where Mother Earth's Fulvic and Humic/Fulvic products are produced is led by a PhD in health sciences, formerly of Texas A&M, and the technicians are experienced and skilled. Mother Earth Labs is at the leading edge of any advances in extraction or purification, as well as up-to-date on clinical findings through this association. 10 The Founder and President of Mother Earth Labs is an experienced and degreed biochemist. She also founded The Mother Earth Institute to further education and

nutritional science on the power of Humic and Fulvic to promote human health and the amazing responses these "miracle molecules" enables in the body along with a mission to develop products that reflect a fusion of healing arts from all over the world. Mother Earth Lab's 100% Fulvic and Humic/Fulvic products are also Registered Organic, in the United States by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, as well as in the European Union, Japan, and Australia. To achieve this certification is no small feat. Products, and the processes used to produce Humic and Fulvic are reviewed by these government agencies. If the product meets these high standards, a certificate is issued. Fulvic supercharges the body at the cellular level and is truly Mother Nature s own nutrient activation, and delivery system to the cells. Fulvic delivers highly absorbable and active vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, at the correct concentrations for the benefit of humankind. Benchmark 4. Price The consideration in your selection of a superior quality 100% Fulvic acid product would likely be the price. Mother Earth Lab's 100% Fulvic and Humic/Fulvic products meets or exceeds all benchmarks of Superior quality So, you might expect it to cost a lot of money, especially in comparison with other products. It should, but it doesn t. The Founder and President of Mother Earth Labs is a Biochemist, Researcher, Author and Speaker on the Power of Humic and Fulvic to help Maintain or Restore Good Health. 11

As a Metabolic Disease Specialist for Merck, a U.S. pharmaceutical company, she worked with leading metabolic disease researchers for many years. She was also a Health Science Specialist to physicians, and her responsibility was to educate physicians and health care providers about metabolic diseases. She educated physicians in their diagnosis and treatment protocols of treating these diseases for almost a decade, as new products were in development and introduced. She herself turned to the power of Humic and Fulvic when she was confronted with a very serious health crisis. She calls it The Gift from Mother Earth ; hence the company name, and the name of the flagship product. You can read more about her health crisis in a letter to you, inviting you to try Humic and Fulvic and experience renewed health and vitality in your life. www.motherearthlabs/invitation She founded Mother Earth Labs based on her desire to share with others, The Gift that was given to her, Health and Life! Her desire is that you too can live a long, healthy life, free from degenerative disease, and for you to dramatically renew and restore your health, at a cost that isn t burdensome. Try one of our unique products, risk-free. Once you do, you will feel the difference a superior-quality Humic and Fulvic product, "The Gift from Mother Earth" can make in your life. 12
