Shilajit: Mineral Rich Herb and Key to Immortality

Shilajit (SHE-LA-JEET) is an adaptogenic herb with a long history in traditional Indian medicine (Ayurveda), where it is said to be one of the "keys to immortality". Shilajit is also called "asphaltum," or "mineral pitch," and is known to help remedy a wide variety of ailments, boost the immune system and help relieve stress for an overall sense of well-being.

What is Shilajit?

Shilajit comes from centuries old decomposed organic plant material that has been preserved by the intense pressures of high Himalayan rock layers. The soft, heavy shilajit resin oozes out of the Himalayan rocks and is carefully purified. The end result is a rich purple-brown powder containing over 70 plant-based trace minerals plus fulvic acid, which can greatly boost the absorption of nutrients into the body.

Benefits of Shilajit

This mineral-rich herb is filled with fulvic acid, humic acid, and amino acids that can help support bones, muscle, metabolism, stamina, as well as enhance brain function. Shilajit supports the circulatory, reproductive, digestive, and immune systems and can help to suppress pain and act as an anti-inflammatory.

Shilajit can also help manage anemia, arthritis, asthma, bronchitis, edema, depression, mental stress, urinary tract infection (UTI) and other related conditions. The Indians also considered it to possess anti-aging properties and work as an aphrodisiac. Daily use of this wonder-herb can help maintain the body's physical and mental strength, and overall vitality.
