Shilajit is awe-inspiring, from its black, tar-like substance to its rejuvenating properties that boost wellness. Rich in bioactive compounds, acids, and minerals, Shilajit is a nutritional powerhouse. Scientists claim that it contains most of the elements of the periodic table. Shilajit has been used in ancient Ayurvedic medicine for restorative and anti-aging properties, but Shilajit use in Western countries has significantly increased over the last decade.
What is Shilajit?
Shilajit is mainly found in the Himalayan Mountains in Asia and the Altai mountains in Eastern Europe; this mineral-packed substance develops in high altitude rocks and sediment over thousands of years. As organic material decomposes, the compounds mix with microbial metabolites and other plant matter. A process of fermentation takes place deep inside this sediment layer. Tectonic plates compress organic plant matter, and the Shilajit oozes out from crevices during the warmer summer months. Shilajit is harvested once a year. Shilajit is a potent yet safe substance that restores energetic balance and promotes overall wellness.
How Shilajit is Sourced and Processed
The raw product is extracted from the substance in order to remove impurities like dirt or plant matter. Top tier companies use the latest purification technology to ensure high quality resin. They also adhere to Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) certification standards. Shilajit is available in many different forms, but the most common ones include resin, powder and liquid. Resin is a sticky, waxy substance that is usually a brown or black color. Powder is popular among consumers who prefer a product easier to mix in foods and drinks. Liquid form is another common option. Some companies offer tablets and capsules for more precise dosing and easier ingestion.
The Key Compound: Fulvic Acid
Fulvic acid facilitates bioavailability of essential minerals, probiotics, and fatty acids, plant amino acids, and alkaloids. It offers a range of benefits from boosting energy to serving as an effective pre and post workout supplement. Shijalit will help you charge through your exercise routine and recover more quickly after intensive activity.
