Fulvic and Humic acid are chelators.  In basic terms, what this means is that by bonding themselves to minerals in your nutrient regimen, the minerals are broken down into more basic elements the plant roots can much more easily take up.  Beneficially, they also catch toxins when used together.

They do differ in the ways they are cultivated and harvested, however most manufacturers have a combination of both acids in one bottle.

Humic acid molecules are larger and are better at conditioning soil, while fulvic acid molecules are smaller, more active and faster acting.  Fulvic acid also stimulates the metabolisms of plants, which makes fulvic acid treatments a great way to quickly correct trace metal deficiencies while stimulating plant growth.

 The combination of the two acids present in your system will help regulate PH, whether in soil or not.  They are both natural, and in nature act as the buffer between the plant and its medium for PH.

Most humic acid products on the shelves not only have fulvic acid, but sea kelp extracts as well.  Studies have shown that the acid combination really takes off in the presence of sea kelp extracts to boost the natural plant growth hormones present in kelp.  Furthermore, they have also shown that sea kelp extract and humic acid stimulate plants to make up to 50% more superoxide dismutase (SOD).  Improved levels of SOD can help protect plants against heat, drought, UV and salt stress.
