So I was visiting cali and went to my buddies local shop to try and get him some fulvic acid products, but the store owner said they can't carry anything that has fulvic on the label...does anyone know why?

BioAg Full Power Humic Acid, it's almost entirely fulvic acid, and several nutrient companies use it to make their own nutrients (nectar for the gods proudly let's you know that at every opportunity). I believe it says "humic acid" instead of "fulvic acid" on its labels. That blows for Cali, I use tons of fulvic acid for foliar, tea, and nutrient purposes. Kicks a lot of ass.

I think it's Cali and Oregon that don't allow FA products. I did a little more research and it seems like there's no accepted standardized test for Fulvic concentrations in products. There are 3 main tests, each producing very different results (one test could show a product containing 8%, one could show up as .08% depending on the testing methods) because the methods are different in how they extract and weigh FA chemicals. Great article here.

I'm guessing it's hard to trust the FA concentrations on labels, or there is not enough consistency, so Cali/Oregon said no (the only 2 states in the country), but it's weird because they allow humic acid products (and those test results can vary substantially as well).

People in california require the assistance of big brother to prevent them from being ripped off at the store.
