Fulvic Acid or Shilajit? Know what to look out for

Shilajit is a popular substance in Ayurveda medicine. And is seen as a way to ingest fulvic acid. But do you know the concentration of fulvic acid in your shilajit? Are you sure that the humus where your fulvic acid comes from is 100% pure and the best? And whether the processing is in accordance with international standards? And did you know that an analysis by Dr. Mark Williams showed that SMPL72 contains 3 times more fulvic acid than shilajit? Plus, SMPL contains dozens more minerals and trace elements and is purified with pure water instead of chemically abstracted. Read Dr. Mark Williams' research here.

SMPL72 is the only one with the GMP certificate. With this strict GMP certificate, you as a consumer are assured that products have the identity, strength, composition, quality and purity that the manufacturer claims.

The market for food supplements is huge and the differences in quality are enormous. As a consumer, how do you know if what is being claimed is true? Certificates can help you determine if something is worthwhile. It says something about the manufacturer's commitment to the highest standards and to its customers. One of those highest standards in the production of supplements, among other things, is the Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).

The fulvic acid-based SMPL plant minerals have the highest quality and are GMP certified. This was done in cooperation with the independent audit party and the Natural Products Association, the most renowned organization in the US in the field of natural products and has been in business since 1936.

With the strict GMP certificate, you as a consumer are assured that products have the identity, strength, composition, quality and purity that the manufacturer claims. GMP accurately records how and under what conditions a product is made.

Some of the principles of GMP include:

• all raw materials and packaging materials have been defined and must meet the requirements;
• the quality of raw materials and finished products is tested;
• all procedures are laid down in so-called SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) or also known as “work regulations” and the production process of each party in the batch preparation protocol;
• all staff are qualified and trained for the work to be carried out; responsibilities and tasks have been defined;
• production conditions are designed and controlled to prevent contamination and prevent mix-ups;
• all changes in the work regulations and any deviations in the procedures followed are recorded;
• it is established who is ultimately responsible for the quality of the products and that person must declare in writing whether the established procedures have been followed for each batch of medicines.

The GMP audit was carried out by an independent party who is trained in the GMP standard and how to manage the certification program, the audit function and the final decision whether to meet the standard to achieve compliance.
