Biological activity of fulvic acid: prospects of application in medicine
https://doi.org/10.33647/2074-5982-18-3-79-83
Abstract
The group of natural organic compounds referred to as humic substances are increasingly attracting attention both in Russia and globally. These compounds exhibit a fairly extensive range of biological properties, thus finding successful application in animal husbandry, agriculture and veterinary medicine. Fulvic acid represents one of the most prominent representatives of this group of substances. The chemical and biological properties of fulvic acid make it a promising candidate for application in traditional medicine and as a basis for the development of modern pharmacological preparations.
