HIGH MOUNTAIN SHILAJIT OF NEPAL

Shilajit is a rare tonic “herbal” substance collected by local inhabitants in the Himalayas. Typically found in Nepal at an altitude of 3000 meters and above in the mountain range, it has been used for thousands of years as a tonic. Shilajit is regarded by many herbalists as the most important natural tonic substance of Ayurveda (the traditional health care system). In Sanskrit, Shilajit means "conqueror of mountains and destroyer of weakness." About 50 million years ago, the Indian continent collided into Asia and formed the Himalayan mountain range. As the mountains formed, tropical forests were crushed and compacted between massive boulders. The compressed forests gradually transformed into a nutrient- and mineral-rich biomass loaded with medicinal humic and fulvic acids. Now, every summer as the mountains warm, the most prized herbal remedy literally oozes from these biomass resins in the high mountain crevasses. The purest shilajit comes in a pitch or tar like substance. Shilajit contains a wider variety of components, each of which is responsible for some of its many benefits.

A few of these include:

- eldagic acid

- triterpenes

- sterols

- aromatic carboxylic acids

- 3,4-benzocoumarins

- amino acids

- polyphenols

- phenolic lipids

- polysaccharides

- lignins

- dibenzo-α-pyrones

If used in the right way and dosage, Shilajit is not associated with any serious side effects.

The fake Shilajit has a strong smell but no effect. Also, Shilajit that is not properly processed and filtered can contain unwanted substances.
