What is Shilajit?

To put things better into perspective, shilajit represents an ancient herbal substance that contains over 85 minerals, all of which have been proven to have a positive effect on our bodies and minds. It also contains fulvic acid which allows our bodies to quickly absorb the minerals at the cellular level. In Asia, the mineral has been consumed as a dietary supplement for thousands of years thanks to the wide variety of health benefits that it provides.

What is the source of this mineral?

shilajit_01 Shilajit is produced over a couple of mineral years from organic matters and plants that have been trapped between the layers of rocks in mountains in a couple of regions, including Tibet, China, India and Altay. With time, the pressure from the weight of the mountains causes the materials to be transformed into a rich mineral mass which then flows out of the rocks.

As a company, we personally source all of our shilajit from the Asian areas where it flows out of the rocky mountains. What makes this area great is the fact that it is also free of pollution and still untouched by humans. During the summer months, the increase in temperature allows the mineral to become less viscous, thus allowing it to flow out from the cracks in the rock layers. Locals then proceed to carefully collect the substance, which is then imported to out labs, where it is filtered with spring water and then tested for safety and purity.

It’s also worth keeping in mind that only the highest grade of shilajit has the benefits that so many people from all around the world desire. With this in mind, we only collect the substance from the highest areas and the colour and type of the rock is also checked prior to collecting the precious substance.

Wait, are there different types of shilajit?

That’s right! While there aren’t any actual differences in the way the substance is created, the purity and potency of it depends on where it has been collected from, the purification techniques being used together with the quality of the substance.

Reports indicate that there are a total of 4 qualities of shilajit, but only the highest quality contains all of the qualities that the substance is famous for. The highest quality substance comes from the highest points of Altay, where the rocks are constantly checked prior to the collection of the substance.

How do I consume shilajit?
