When a product has
FIVEFOLD ACTION
When we say a product has Fivefold Action, it means it delivers five powerful health benefits in one formula, working together to provide comprehensive protection and wellness. In the case of CHD-FA™, this fivefold action includes:
When a substance is antiviral, it helps the body fight off viruses — the microbes responsible for common infections like colds, flu, and more serious viral illnesses.
Health Benefits:
- Supports the body’s natural defense against viruses
- May help reduce the frequency and duration of viral infections
- Aids in recovery from seasonal illnesses
An antifungal agent works to prevent or manage infections caused by fungi, which can affect the skin, nails, or even internal systems.
Health Benefits:
- Helps protect against common fungal infections like athlete’s foot or yeast infections
- Supports skin, nail, and overall microbial balance
- May help prevent recurrent fungal issues
An antibacterial substance helps stop or reduce the spread of harmful bacteria that can lead to infections in the body.
Health Benefits:
- Supports protection from bacterial infections such as sore throats, skin infections, and UTIs
- Helps maintain a healthy bacterial balance
- Encourages natural healing and recovery
Anti-inflammatory substances help reduce swelling, pain, and discomfort that may result from injury, illness, or chronic conditions.
Health Benefits:
- Supports joint and muscle comfort
- May help manage symptoms of inflammation-related conditions
- Promotes faster recovery and relief
Antioxidants protect the body’s cells from damage caused by free radicals — unstable molecules that can contribute to aging and disease.
Health Benefits:
- Supports healthy aging and skin health
- Boosts the body’s natural defenses against stress and environmental toxins
- Contributes to long-term health and cellular protection

Is Fulvic Acid Safe to Use?
CHD-FA™ contains a range of organic plant acids and it has a wide range of medicinal properties.
Various rigorous safety and efficacy studies have been completed on CHD-FA™ therefore not relying on anecdotal data. It was found that CHD-FA™ has a supramolecular structure that is characterized by twenty-four principal backbone structures embedded in CHD-FA™. The backbone structures are associated with each other and with the parent structure through intermolecular bonding to form a supramolecular structure. It is all these backbone structures (consistent from batch to batch) that give CHD-FA™ the wide range of efficacy.
Is Fulvic Acid Safe to Use?
Environmental Fulvic Acids are at risk of being contaminated. We’re, however, extremely proud to report that, yes, CHD-FA™ (Fulvic Acid) has been tested for safety. The ultimate holding company of Fulvimed, Fulhold Ltd, is responsible for the development of CHD-FA™ and have spent over a decade and millions of rands on safety and toxicity studies for CHD-FA™.
The safety work on CHD-FA™ can be split into two categories, namely Quality in production and In vitro (laboratory) and in vivo (systemic) safety studies.
In vitro and in vivo safety studies
The safety of CHD-FA™ has been tested proven at certified GLP laboratories locally and internationally by Fulhold Pharma Ltd over a period of many years. These studies include the following:
CHD-FA™ was considered to be non-mutagenic.
The test indicated no genotoxicity for either filtered and unfiltered CHD-FA™ in an in vitro micronucleus assay.
This test proved that CHD-FA™ is readily biodegradable under the terms and conditions of OECD Guideline No 301B.
Tests indicated that CHD-FA™ contains no pesticides whilst that may be the case with environmental fulvic acids.
This published article proves that CHD-FA™ is safe to systemically use at 40ml twice a day.
A clinical trial published proves that CHD-FA™ is safe for use even if immunity is compromised.
Performed in Germany.
Is Fulvic Acid Effective?
The health benefits of humic and fulvic acid have been known for many years. Fulvic Acid has been used for various conditions. But what makes CHD-FA™ better than other environmental fulvic acids?
This peer-reviewed published study conducted at the University of Pretoria indicated that CHD-FA™ has its anti-inflammatory effect by neutralising free radicals. The rate of reduction in the inflammation as a result of ingesting CHD-FA™ is equivalent to that of Indomethacin, a registered anti-inflammatory often used.
This peer-reviewed published study also proved that CHD-FA™ acts as an anti-inflammatory.
The conclusion of this study done at Washington Biotechnology was that CHD-FA™ is a potent anti-inflammatory agent comparable to Dexamethasone.
In a randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CHD-FA™ in the topical treatment of eczema which was peer-reviewed and published it was found that CHD-FA™ in a cream formulation successfully improved eczema condition.
This peer-reviewed and published work was done at Public Health Research Institute Rutgers-New Jersey Medical School. The study proved that CHD-FA™ is effective against the ‘super-bug’, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, a powerful microbe that has become a major concern worldwide.
This work is done at the world-famous Glasgow Dental School, School of Medicines that was peer-reviewed and published. This study concluded that CHD-FA™ exhibits broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against orally-relevant biofilm organisms.
The results of this study conducted at the University of Pretoria showed that CHD-FA™ has antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans. The antimicrobial spectrum of CHD-FA™ compares favourably with that of currently prescribed antibiotics and acts synergistically with oxacillin (methicillin) and gentamicin. A Gram stain of C. albicans grown in the presence of CHD-FA™ showed rounded enlarged non-dividing bodies indicating that this product acts on the cell wall of microorganisms.
This study at EuproTec in the UK indicated that there is no resistance build-up by CHD-FA™.
The study concluded:
- CHD-FA™ was effective against NDM-1, KPC and ESBL positive Klebsiella pneumonia and multi-resistant E. coli strains with a 100% MIC value of 0.06-0.12%.
- CHD-FA™ was highly effective against multi-resistant Gram-negative bacilli including NDM-1 positive strains. CHD-FA was also highly effective against Mycobacterium smegmatis. All organisms were inhibited using ≤0.12% of CHD-FA™.
This study done at Euprotec in the UK proved that CHD-FA™ is effective in vivo against Candida Albicans on its own or in combination with other medicines such as Fluconazole.
This study done at Euprotec in the UK proved that CHD-FA™:
- inhibits the growth of Malassezia dermatitis, Malassezia furfur and Malassezia globosa when used as a 0.125% solution at its native pH of 2.1 in vitro.
- inhibits the growth of all dermatophyte strains tested, except Microsporum canis, when used as a 0.2-0.4% solution
The antioxidant properties are well-documented in general literature such as the article in the Journal of Food, Agriculture & Environment Vol. 9 (3&4): 1 2 3 – 1 2 7 . 2 0 1 1. Testing was also done on CHD-FA™ confirming its excellent antioxidant properties. The summary of work done at the University of Pretoria said: In conclusion, it has been shown that CHD-FA™ possesses some antioxidant properties in vitro.
From the study, it is clear that CHD-FA™ will assist in the nutritional uptake of various minerals.
Because of the properties of CHD-FA™, it essentially acts as its own preservative in various products. The preservative efficacy report by SWIFT SILLIKER confirms the preservative properties of CHD-FA™.
