Why Acti-Cell Technology® (ACT)?
Biofeed® products go much further than a simple humate by supporting DNA replication and transcription processes through enhanced RNA within cells. This results in rapid cellular growth and metabolic activity. These elements further aid in the destruction and elimination of unwanted toxic elements found in the environment, converting them into harmless byproducts via bio-oxidation/reduction reactions. The nutritional requirements of all living cells are fairly constant. Biofeed® products provide a “whole-food effect” to promote cellular growth both in the plant and in the soil’s complex biological systems. Therefore, Biofeed® ACT functions as a substrate for enhanced cellular growth in the plant as it stimulates aerobic biological activity in the soil. ACT® is then blended with a variety of nutrients—essential for plant growth—that make up the entire line of Biofeed® products.
Organic Molecules That Mimic Nature’s Nutrient Delivery System!
Biofeed® products come to life through our Acti-Cell Technology® (ACT). ACT® is a true nanoparticle technology that is biologically generated using select plant extracts, which are converted into unique organic compounds, including poly β-hydroxybutyric acids, adenosine triphosphate, hydrolyzed plant proteins, organic matter, and other beneficial organic compounds through a proprietary process of biological transformation. Biofeed® products are comprised of natural enzymes and organic acids with exceptionally small structures that readily form soluble complexes required for aerobic biological activity in soil and greater cell structure in the plant.
How Does ACT Compare With Humic Acids?
Humic acids (HA’s) are the residual remains of organic matter that have aged and are compressed into shale and are often pressurized deep within the soil or earth, commonly derived from mined Leonardite, often referred to as premature coal. HA functions as an organic acid and is therefore referred to as an acid, although the pH may not be acidic. It is the function of these high-carbon Leonardite coals, which are mined in several locations in the USA, China, and other countries, that has led to their use in agriculture and the turf industry for several years.
In order to utilize HA as a fertilizer additive or as a soil amendment, it is important to solubilize the material. Solubilization can pose difficulties due to the fact that Leonardite/HA is a hydrocarbon with a composition similar to motor oil. One popular method of solubilizing Leonardite in water is to add 7–10% potassium hydroxide to a mixing tank and then add the HA while mixing. This has resulted in the creation of a near-water-soluble Leonardite solution that is currently sold worldwide as Humic Acid. Many farmers have reported an increase in yields following the application of this chemically derived HA. Because of its origin, it is commonly inundated with minerals, microbes, and plant nutrients. Seemingly, an ideal additive to fertilizers!
But problems continue. Basic lab testing shows that when the chemically derived HA is sprayed in the field following dilution of the HA in a spray tank, the HA falls out of solution once the hydroxide falls below 7% in water when the material is diluted in a spray tank. Thus, the initial precipitation of HA occurs. It further falls onto the soil clay platelet or sand, creating a hydrophobic or water-repelling effect on the sand or clay that is very difficult to overcome. Currently, the Soil Science Society of America is conducting research to determine the likely cause of the sudden buildup of localized dry spots in agricultural and turf soils throughout the world.
The Benefits of ACT®
The nanoparticles and organic molecules contained in Biofeed® ACT® are not derived from mined Leonardite, nor are they contaminated with unwanted potassium or sodium salts or heavy metals, and therefore function uninhibited within the soil and plant cells. Unlike HA, Biofeed® products with ACT® maintain solubility long after application in all soil types. This results in improved Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), as well as effective salt neutralization and leaching. Biofeed® fertilizers feed and support the entire soil food web to maintain natural soil fertility and crop production.
Why NANO?
The term “nanoparticle” means that the components found in Biofeed® are at or near their smallest size and are measured in billionths of an inch instead of millionths, which allows them to easily encapsulate individual nutrients, i.e., NPK, secondary nutrients, and micronutrients. Due in part to their sheer size and number, these nutrients can be delivered directly within the cell wall for maximum nutritional benefit. Therefore, with each application, the nutritional needs of most crops are met, even at low rates of one to two quarts per acre. It is also important to note that, in addition to satisfying the nutritional requirements of plant cells, Biofeed® delivers a dynamic package of biostimulants and growth stimulants to these cells.
Advanced Technology for Advanced Crop Genetics
Today’s crops start with advanced genetic technology, yet are fertilized using yesterday’s nutrient technology. Crops that are planted by farmers are able to deliver much more than they are fertilized to produce. Why? Because crops are fed with nutrients like the basic NPKs of old, and the fact remains that crop genetics have outperformed the nutrient solutions they are fed. Today’s crops require a rich blend of nanoparticles plus natural ingredients, which are found in Biofeed Solutions and are part of a more effective nutrient program that enables crops to go into a dynamic production cycle and may produce up to three times the average. That is what many farmers are seeing when they apply Biofeed Solutions with ACT®.
Environmental and Aquaculture Products
During the bioremediation process, microbes demand an elevated nutrient source to enable the complete digestion of unwanted hydrocarbons, sewage waste, and other chemicals. One such element that is nearly always required is oxygen. Biofeed® products containspecialized enzymes—H₂O-dehydrogenase (HDH)—that split the H₂O water molecule to release elemental oxygen directly into the wastewater plant, contaminated soil, and waterway. An oxygen-enriched environment results in a dramatic increase in beneficial aerobic microbial life and activity, creating a nutrient-rich zone while, at the same time, digesting and destroying harmful chemical compounds and preventing disease-causing anaerobic microbes from thriving. Aquaculture ponds need dissolved oxygen, as it is essential for fish and shrimp. Applying Oxy-Pond to the water is an excellent way to enrich the dissolved oxygen levels in any fish or shrimp pond.
100% Safe, Active Ingredients
We use no tap water as a filler in any of the Biofeed Solutions’ products. The entire solution comes from our extraction tanks and is free of chlorine and other contaminants. This combined proprietary technology helps in the delivery of nutrients to the leaf to improve the vigor of plant growth, blooming, and fruiting.

The proprietary ingredients and processes used to formulate Biofeed Solutions products can only be purchased from Biofeed Solutions, the exclusive manufacturer of this outstanding technology, which has been proven in the USA and Europe for over 35 years.
What Does Biofeed Solutions Do?
The active components found in Biofeed® dissolve insoluble soil nutrients, allowing for improved uptake by plant roots. Biofeed® remains active in the soil long after application, where it improves the soil’s Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC).
Biofeed® releases oxygen and hydrogen through the action of specialized enzymes that cleave water (H₂O) molecules, thus releasing elemental oxygen and hydrogen from the water into the soil below ground to maintain a healthier aerobic root zone. Increased oxygen and hydrogen also improve oxidation and reduction reactions that mobilize nutrients and stimulate the activity of beneficial aerobic microbes to readily digest or destroy harmful chemical compounds that may accumulate within the soil.
Biofeed® helps to reduce sodium toxicity, balance water biology, improve root and soil interactions, and has been proven effective over a period of more than three decades through agricultural, aquaculture, environmental, and turfgrass university studies worldwide.
Biofeed Solutions’ Products Support Carbon Sequestration
Biofeed® enhances natural carbon absorption from the air into the soil by energizing soil organisms and plant cells to naturally “fix” CO₂ right from the air, the same way that soil and plants have been absorbing CO₂, or carbon dioxide, since the beginning, since the creation of our Earth.
Adding Biofeed® SOIL-PLUS® to the soil at a rate of 2 quarts per acre will increase organic matter accumulation by up to 100,000 to 140,000 lbs. per acre. And we can prove it!

Biofeed® products are formulated to stimulate the uptake of carbon dioxide (CO2) within plants and soils via the natural fixation of carbon and the conversion of nitrates into organic forms of nitrogen. Biofeed® products support nature’s existing design for carbon and nitrate management, and we can prove this too!
