Determining The Effects of Fulvic acid on Biofilm/Planktonic Streptococcus Mutans Growth

Research at Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis, done on fulvic acid extracted from Shilajit found more evidence to support fulvic acid’s anti-bacterial properties, but also to look at minimum concentrations required for use as a oral anti-bacterial agent.

” Overall it was observed that fulvic acid is able to kill bacteria in strong concentrations. Additionally it is able to inhibit further growth of bacteria in lower concentrations, but once the solution becomes too dilute, it does not have an effect on bacterial growth. This contributes greatly to the field of oral health because this data can be utilized for further research on oral bacterial growth inhibitors. Furthermore, the data collected here is a significant starting point for research on the specific minimum concentrations necessary to inhibit oral bacteria growth, because this can be used to determine the smallest amounts of fulvic acid, the bacteria the human body can handle.”
