1- Was the Black MP approved by the FDA?
Answer: FDA does not approve any vitamin mineral supplements however the FDA has provided a
pathway for products such as Blackmp Living Powder to be “FDA GRAS approved”. FDA GRAS
approved stands for Generally Regarded As Safe by the FDA. The criteria for such a classification are
very stringent. A product cannot have any documented side-effects or be related to any medical
reactions or risk assessments from use for over 5 years. Blackmp Living Powder complies within
these criteria and is FDA GRAS approved. Additionally, while the FDA has not been involved in
evaluating the product for stamp of approval, Blackmp Living Powder is manufactured in a
Registered FDA Manufacturing Facility.
2- What is the recommended daily dose i.e., safe dose limit and duration?
Answer: The grand effectiveness of Blackmp Living Powder is that use of the product is for anyone.
Whether you are 8 days or 88 years old, Blackmp Living Powder is safe with every serving. One scoop
(provided with the product) is one suggested serving. Proper hydration suggests three (3) to four (4)
times throughout the day for optimum results. The fact that the product is FDA GRAS approved also
reflects the safe nature of the product and because minerals are what the body need, nutritionally
speaking, no real amount is too much.
3- Does fulvic acid in Blackmp interact with any medications like blood pressure medications,
diabetes, and thyroid medications?
Answer: The interaction is fantastic! Studies continue to show that Blackmp Living Powder’s high
quality of Fulvic Acid formulated are known to aid in the assistance of medications needed for blood
pressure management, diabetes, thyroid regulation, etc. The word to learn is “Bioavailability”.
Bioavailability refers to the absorption amount and rate at which healthy nutrients and medications
can penetrate the cell membranes. The more bioavailable, the more of the needed medications can
be absorbed by the body. How does Fulvic Acid help? Imagine the blood stream and your body’s cells
are a storage unit. For unhealthy individuals, let us assume their storage unit is messy and crowded
with junk. Fulvic Acid enters the body’s storage units (cells, bloodstream, organs, etc.) and cleans out
the junk. Now the storage unit can absorb more of the medications and nutrients (greater
Bioavailability) prescribed in order to get the body functioning normally at ground zero.
4- Does it interfere with gene therapy ( used in cancer and covid vaccine)?
Answer: Emphatically NO. In fact, Studies show that Humic Acids surround viruses and literally rip
them away from the host cells they have attached themselves to AND are so powerful they can
prevent the virus or invading alien from reattaching to the host cell which weakens them enough to
pass the impurities out of the body. As the Fulvic Acid cleans out the storage units, the Humic Acids
join in on the cleansing by literally, “taking out the trash”. We call it “energizing the body from the
inside out”.
5- Fulvic acid has been shown to improve disease resistance by boosting immune defense against
viruses, bacteria, and toxins. What is a possible effect on autoimmune disease patients?
Answer: Those who are immunocompromised should always consult with their doctor before taking
any supplement. What I can say is IF ever there is an over-the-counter product that would benefit
immunocompromised individuals, it would be Blackmp Living Powder. It is important to emphasize
that the answers are found in the studies. Studies provide documentation and data analysis of the
impact Humic and Fulvic acids have on the body and studies have shown no ill effect for autoimmune
patients. Here are some facts that multiple studies bear out regarding Humic and Fulvic Acids:
5 Ways Fulvic Acid Improves Immune Protection - Robyn Openshaw - Updated: July 1, 2021
Every organ and every function in our body depends on vitamins and minerals. Produce rich in fulvic
acid delivers the life-sustaining raw materials that fuel our cells and organs on every level.
And when we are deficient in vitamins and minerals (because we are not getting enough from
bioavailable sources), we see the results in reduced immune function, inflammation, and disease.
Fulvic acid can improve immunity against pathogens and disease:
Fulvic Acid Is A Powerful Antiviral
Fulvic acid is a potent antiviral and can guard against immune threats and speed up healing from
many different pathogens.
Studies have shown its effectiveness in battling numerous viruses including polio virus,2 herpes,
influenza A, and Coxsackie A9.3 In one study, participants who supplemented with fulvic acid were
able to beat the common cold significantly faster.4
Lowers Baseline Inflammation
When the atoms in our cells are damaged by UV rays, poor diet, or chemical load, they become free
radicals. These unstable atoms cause damage throughout the body and can lead to inflammation
and stress as the body diverts resources to run damage control.
Fulvic acid neutralizes those free radicals and has been shown to significantly reduce
inflammation,5 freeing up the body’s resources to battle outside invaders and pathogens — instead
of internal threats!
Improves Circulation for Faster Antibody Response
Fulvic acid helps improve circulation4 and blood flow for every cell in your body— which means
better coverage of circulating antibodies.6 And antibodies circulating efficiently throughout the body
means a faster response when an outside threat attempts to gain a foothold in the body!
Corrects Body PH
Contrary to what its name implies, fulvic acid is very alkaline. So many of us have a highly acidic
body pH as a result of poor diet and processed foods—which makes it difficult for our cells to grow,
reproduce, and fight off pathogens.
Fulvic acid can set the stage for a less acidic environment that allows our cells and organs to
respond effectively to immune threats.

Helps heal the Gut
Fulvic acid is filled with good bacteria7 (probiotics). A diverse, healthy microbiome is not only vital to
preventing pathogens from getting a foothold, but is key to creating the short-chain fatty acids that
directly impact your dopamine levels8 (which are vital to mounting an effective immune
response9 on a cellular level!)
Fulvic Acid Vs. Multivitamins for Boosting Immunity
We all know that our bodies use the minerals and nutrients in fruits and vegetables for a wide variety
of immune functions. For instance, our killer-T cells and phagocytes require copper, selenium, and
zinc to effectively fight off bacteria and viruses.10
So, why not just double down on taking a multivitamin? Because the vitamins, minerals, and
nutrients found in living produce are much more bioavailable11 (aka, our bodies can readily use
them) than processed, powdered vitamins, that our bodies have trouble absorbing. Why? The answer
revolves around the fulvic acid in plant foods, which can easily cross cell membranes.
Here is the science: Fulvic acid is one of the densest sources of bioavailable nutrients (upwards of
75 different minerals, trace minerals, electrolytes, vitamins, and amino acids!) on the planet.
Its unique molecular structure allows it to transform colloidal minerals (larger molecules that
cannot cross cell membranes easily) into water-soluble, ionized fulvic minerals (smaller
molecules that can readily cross cell membranes).
Incredibly, that unique molecular structure of fulvic acid allows it to carry 60 times its own
weight in nutrients — right into our cells.
Are You Getting Enough Fulvic Acid In Your Food?
Unfortunately, the answer to this question is, “Probably not.” Modern agricultural practices like
genetic modification, reliance on chemical fertilizers, strip farming, and mass production mean that
we are stripping the soil of rich humus (and fulvic acid!).
The bottom line is that in most parts of the world, fruits and vegetables are far less nutrient dense
than fruits and vegetables two hundred years ago.
Even those of us who eat a whole food, minimally processed, plant-based diet are at risk of being
deficient in key vitamins and minerals. We see it in the rise of all forms of disease, autoimmune
disorders, and inflammatory conditions.
Supplementing with Fulvic Acid
Supplementing with a concentrated fulvic acid supplement can help balance the lack of immuneboosting minerals and nutrients in modern fruits and vegetables.
Make sure that when choosing a supplement, you opt for one that is free of all fillers, preservatives,
and heavy metals ( like Blackmp Living Powder) .
Keep in mind that when you start taking fulvic acid, your body may go into detox mode with the new
infusion of minerals and vitamins. Some initial cramping, gas, or bloating is normal and temporary.
To help ease these symptoms, it is a good idea to start slowly with supplementing and titrate up.
If you are immunocompromised or pregnant, make sure you talk to your doctor first before you jump
right into supplementing (since your body’s immune response is already on high alert!).
