Despite eating well, taking supplements, and doing "all the right things"? The gut no longer meets the microbiome in our food. The cells no longer receive the full spectrum of information they evolved with. We became fed, but not nourished. Alive, but not vital. How can a body thrive when the very language of nature has been erased from its terrain?

For decades, we blamed the body. Called it broken. But maybe it was never broken. Maybe it was just missing something?

In 2017, during a project on shore regeneration in rural India, a team of engineers, agricultural scientists, and wellness researchers set out to address a very modern problem, the collapse of our soil.

Fertile ground had turned barren. Crops no longer held the nutrient density they once did. And no matter how advanced the fertilisers or interventions, the soil, and the food grown in it, remained lifeless.

But it was what they found beneath the surface that changed everything. As they traced the biochemical makeup of rich, ancient soils compared to degraded modern land, a pattern emerged. The most fertile ecosystems were teeming with fulvic and humic acids, polyphenols, and lignins. Naturally occurring compounds formed over millennia through the microbial breakdown of plant matter.

The invisible scaffolding of biological resilience. Not only in plants, but in the humans who consumed them. When they mapped this pattern onto human health, the synchronicity was uncanny.

The same compounds that gave soil its vitality… were the very ones missing from the modern diet.
And their absence was at the root of something much bigger. The global rise of chronic inflammation, fatigue, gut dysfunction, poor nutrient absorption, and immune dysregulation.

This wasn’t a soil problem anymore. It was a human health emergency.

And it begged a radical question. What if the collapse of the soil and the collapse of the human body were the same story?

The discoveries in India triggered a wave of urgency. If modern life had stripped us of essential compounds , and if these compounds were foundational to microbial and metabolic health, then reintroducing them wasn’t optional. It was vital. 

Back in Europe, the team assembled a multidisciplinary collaboration. Together, they began asking one question. 

How do we return what the body never should have lost? 

Over years of research, they identified two of the most potent and ancient sources of these missing compounds.

Pine bark and birch chaga.

This led to the development of a proprietary formulation, refined through trials conducted alongside the Institute of Innovative Biomedical Technologies in Latvia.

The result?

A compound blend that could:

• Feed and diversify beneficial gut bacteria

• Restore microbial balance disrupted by processed foods, antibiotics, and modern stressors

• Facilitate the absorption of essential nutrients like magnesium, zinc, and vitamin C

• Support cellular repair and mitochondrial resilience

• Enhance detoxification without taxing the body’s reserves

When Black Stuff was introduced into the body, something remarkable began to happen.

People didn’t just report feeling “better.” They described something more primal, like a biological memory being reawakened. A clarity. A steadiness. A kind of inner strength that hadn’t been felt in years. Because when you give the body what it evolved with, the compounds it was designed to receive. It doesn’t just function. It recalibrates.

At the core of your health lies your microbiome. The vast community of bacteria, fungi, and microbes living in your gut. It governs immunity, metabolism, brain chemistry, and even emotional regulation. And it’s not thriving. Modern life has stripped it bare. With pesticides, processed foods, antibiotics, chlorinated water, and nutrient dead soil all acting as silencers to this inner ecosystem.

But Black Stuff reintroduce:

Fulvic and humic acids,

which act as microbial fertilisers, restoring diversity and communication within the gut lining. They also bind to toxins, escorting out heavy metals and glyphosate residues that accumulate over time.

Lignins and polyphenols,

which not only modulate inflammation but act as prebiotic substrates. Feeding beneficial species like Akkermansia muciniphila and Bifidobacteria, key for maintaining gut wall integrity and immune response.

Antioxidant-rich compounds,

which intercept free radicals, reduce oxidative load, and support cellular longevity.

You don’t need to "hack" the body when you remember how to feed it.

Because the body remembers. And when the soil is alive within you, so are you.

Black Stuff is not a supplement. It’s a reintroduction of the language our bodies once spoke fluently.

Fulvic acids, humic substances, polyphenols, lignins. These aren’t trends. They’re nature’s original tools for cellular repair, microbial balance, and resilience.

We haven’t reinvented anything. We’ve simply brought it back. What happens when you restore what was always meant to be there.That’s the question Black Stuff was made to answer.
