Not all humates are same!

• Humus

• Humates

• Humic acids

• Fulvic acids

• Humic substances

All these says the same thing

Humus is formed naturally. We humans particularly speeding up the process of humification / humus formation by composting methods.

Things given below are man made organic matters with various composting methods

Vermi compost	made of earth worm casting.
Animal dung’s compost	made from mixed microbial activity
Bio mass compost	made from after crop waste

---

But actually, This humification is A journey of biomass to coal that happens naturally without any specific human involvement. It happens every second. It‘s a 30 million year journey. starts with organic matter and ends with fossil fuel.

• Organic matter

  • Peat moss

  • Lignite

  • Leonardite

  • And finally black coal - fossil fuels

From fallen leaves to the dead animals everything becomes humus one day.

Humic acids can be extracted from any humic substances. These are the raw materials used to extract humic acids.

Type of humic substance	Age of the humic substance
Vermi compost	3 - 6 months
Animal dung compost	6 months to few years
Biomass compost	6 months to few years
any other organic matter	6 months to few years
Peat moss	2000 years
Lignite	70 million years
Leonardite	70 to 130 million years
Any other concentrated humic substances	Unknown

Even from the soil, we can isolate humic substances.

From all these humic substances, we can extract the Humic acids, fulvic acids and all other organic compounds which are present in them.

But :

Age of humic substances, particle size Distribution, method of extraction, amount of clarification, humic & fulvic acids content, humin particles content, oxygen content, no of Carboxylic groups, no of phenolate groups, complex ratio of carboxyl and phenolate groups, functionality variation (percent of dibasic & tribasic), poly electrolytes content, colloidal Properties, cation exchange capacity, solubility, ability of binding various heavy metals (Cadmium, Chromium, Copper, Iron, Lead, Mercury, Nickel, Zinc etc), quality and quantity of trace minerals, in case if its dug, Mine location (Nearby waterbodies), molecule structures etc……Hundreds of parameters decides the quality and functionality of humic acids.

there are few corporate companies in foreign countries, bought the whole Mines, which are the most premium quality Leonardite mines in the World. Its the geography that made those mines sooo valuable. it Was clearly a supply and demand. There are few companies who are Not selling their humic acid products for farming use, because of its high value in other sectors like animal feed formulations, nutraceutical products, aqua feed formulations etc…

Any raw material you choose to extract humic acid, and any method….. end of the day, humus is always blackish. And also Depending on liquid to solid convertor machines, physicality is a big possibility. We can produce any humic acid in any texture (appearance)

It may be liquid concentrates

It may be paste

It may be gel

It may be fine powder

It may be flakes

It may be crystalline

It may be column granules

It may be round / oval shaped granules

It may be tablets

It may be nano particles

It may be capsules.

What you need to understand is,

Humic acid is a very general term. But in back ground, its a ocean of science.

Based on the source of raw material and method of extraction, humic acids are available at all the prices. From 10 Rs Per KG to 50,000 Rs per kg.

Types of humic acids	Average market Price per kg round the globe	Dosage per acre
Vermicompost Humic acid	10 Rupees	20 - 50 kg
Mixed compost Humic acid	50 Rupees	10 - 15 kg
Manure composted humic acid	100 Rupees	10 - 15 kg
Peat moss humic acid	200 - 500 Rupees	5 - 10 kg
Lignite humic acid	1000 - 1500 Rupees	3 - 5 kg
Leonardite humic acid	2000 - 3000 Rupees	1 - 3 kg
Cosmetic grade humic acid	10,000 Rupees	In milligrams
Food grade humic acid	15000 - 20000 Rupees	1 Gram / Person / Day
Pharmaceutical grade humic acid	50000 Rupees	In micrograms

All looks the same :

Blackish

Flake / powder / crystal / nano particles / liquid concentrates etc

Zero to no smell and taste

Fulvic acids are little bit odour.

But properties varies vastly. So be aware when you choose humic acids in the market.

Our mutate company products

Avani sudhi is made of young age high oxygen content leonardite from specific mines (which we cannot reveal). This specifically selected ingredient is having the beautiful characteristics that can be utilised intensely in agriculture. Till date this is the highest purest form of humic substances that can be used to extract humic acids. Thats what we did with our product “AVANI SUDHI”. Processed specific leonardite is one of the key ingredient used in our product.

And we also had food grade humic acid product that can be consumed on daily basis. Product name is “ANTIQUE”.

For more details, you can visit our website www.mutate.company.

Thank you.
