Pure Himalayan Shilajit

As adaptogens go, shilajit is as unique as it is versatile.

Also known as salajit, mimie, mummiyo, and shilajatu, shilajit is—unlike nearly all other known adaptogenic substances—neither an herb nor a mushroom, but rather an herbomineral exudate harvested from mountains, particularly the Himalayas. The use of shilajit dates back to at least 3300 BCE, where it was used by the Indus Valley civilization, the earliest known culture of the Indian subcontinent.

The first historical mentions of shilajit are in two canonical texts of Ayurveda, the Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita, ancient Indian medical reference books that cover everything from herbology to nutrition to even surgery.

Ayurvedic medicine has tremendous respect for shilajit, evidenced by its reference to it as the “conqueror of mountains and destroyer of weakness” as well as its categorization as a Rasayana, which is a designation reserved for substances that lengthen life and support energy, intellect, and immunity.

People have been using herbs for protection since time immemorial.

Being more preventive and proactive rather than reactive in nature, Ayurveda tends to place the highest value on compounds that build overall resilience. Shilajit is thus the Ayurvedic tonic par excellence

There is no single molecule responsible for all of shilajit’s effects, as its action in the body is the result of all of its constituents working in harmony. That being said, there are certain compounds that have been determined by research to give shilajit at least some of its health-promoting properties.

These compounds include:

Humic substances such as humic and fulvic acid
Dibenzo-alpha-pyrones (DBPs)
Dibenzo-alpha-pyrone chromoproteins (DCPs)
84+ ionic trace minerals, including zinc, silver, copper, and iron. Plus Nobel prize winning carbon 60 molecule. Link in bio with code
