Mixed natural exudate — not strictly a terpenoid (categorization is debatable). Principal active constituents: fulvic and humic acids (redox-cycling), dibenzo-α-pyrone chromoproteins (mitochondrial electron shuttle), plus 80+ trace minerals. Proposed effects include modest testosterone elevation in men (Pandit 2016 RCT) and mitochondrial energy support. Heavy-metal contamination of unpurified material is a real concern — use only purified / standardised products.
