Allomelanin
NAME OF PRODUCT | PRODUCT CODE | DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT |
Allomelanin | bhc-005RV | Water-soluble form of melanin. Plant extract. Allomelanin is a ubiquitous natural pigment found in a diverse array of organisms. Its existence enhances resistance of the organisms to environmental damage and helps them survive harsh radiation conditions such as those found on spacecraft and inside contaminated nuclear power plants. Allomelanins are effective in suppressing the growth of cultured tumor cells. Allomelanins are nitrogen-free macromolecular polymers of simple phenols produced by taller plants and fungi. |
Eumelanin
NAME OF PRODUCT | PRODUCT CODE | DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT |
Eumelanin | bbc-002RV | Water-soluble form of melanin. Extract of animal raw materials. Eumelanin is a key component of the human pigmentary system. The degree of pigmentation of the human skin, hair and eyes is, to a large extent, determined by the ability of specialized cells to synthesize the brown-black Eumelanin. Eumelnin has properties such as anti-oxidant and free-radical scavenging behavior, broad band UV and visible absorption and strong non- radiative relaxation of photoexcited electronic states, which are determined by the structure of the molecular, supramolecular and aggregate levels. |
Hematomelanic acids
NAME OF PRODUCT | PRODUCT CODE | DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT |
Hematomelanic acid | bgk-001V | High molecular weight organic compounds.
Hematomelanic acids are materials produced in soils that are either yellow or brown-to-black colored, acidic, polydisperse substances of relatively high molecular weight. The molecular masses of soil humic substances range from 2,000–3,000 for alkali-soluble and acid-soluble fractions to more than 300,000 for fractions insoluble in both alkalis and acids.

Humic acid
NAME OF PRODUCT | PRODUCT CODE | DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT |
Humic acid | bgk-001B | High molecular weight organic compounds. Humic acids (HAs) comprise a mixture of weak aliphatic (carbon chains) and aromatic (carbon rings) organic acids which are not soluble in water under acid conditions, but are soluble in water under alkaline conditions. Humic acids consist of that fraction of humic substances that are precipitated from aqueous solution when the pH is decreased below 2. Humic acids (HAs) readily form salts with inorganic trace mineral elements. An analysis of extracts of naturally occurring humic acids (HAs) will reveal the presence of over 60 different mineral elements. These trace elements are associated with the molecules of humic additives in a form that can be easily used by various living organisms. As a result, humic acids (HAs) act as important systems for ion exchange and complexing (chelation) of metals. |
Fulvic acid
NAME OF PRODUCT | PRODUCT CODE | DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCT |
Fulvic acid | bgn-002BV | Organic polymer. Provides the permeability of ions through the cell membrane. Fulvic acids (FAs) are a mixture of weak aliphatic and aromatic organic acids which are soluble in water at all pH conditions (acidic, neutral and alkaline). Their composition and shape is quite variable. The size of fulvic acids (HFs) is smaller than humic additives (HAs), with molecular weights which range from approximately 1,000 to 10,000. Due to the relatively small size of fulvic acid (FA) molecules they can readily penetrate plant roots, stems, and leaves. As they enter these plant parts, they carry trace minerals from plant surfaces into plant tissues. Fulvic acids (FAs) are key ingredients of high-quality foliar fertilizers. Foliar spray applications containing fulvic acid (FA) mineral at specific plant growth stages, can be used as a primary production technique for maximizing the plants productive capacity. Once applied to plant foliage fulvic acids (FAs) transports trace minerals directly to metabolic sites in plant cells. Fulvic acids (FAs) are the most effective carbon containing chelating compounds known. They are plant compatible, and therefore nontoxic when applied at relatively low concentrations. |
