Laboratory analysis of Shilajit reveals a complete spectrum of every essential mineral on the planet in ionic form\u2014the most easily absorbable and assimilated by the human body.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

T<\/span>reasures may be found everywhere for those who have eyes to see, a perfect example of this being Shilajit, one of the most prized medicines throughout Asia for the last few thousand years.\u00a0 In its wild habitat, you could be forgiven for simply thinking that it was a tar-like substance\u00a0oozing from the cracks in between rocks high up in the Himalayan Mountains.\u00a0 And the locals did for many thousands of years; however, in ancient times one had to look for clues from nature to better understand their natural habitat, particularly what was safe and what was poison.<\/span><\/p>\n

Upon seeing packs of native chimps snacking on the Shilajit tar and further observing that those who did seemed to be the strongest, most intelligent and long-lived of the bunch, the indigenous people began ingesting the night-black mineral pitch themselves.\u00a0 When they too began experiencing the benefits, rapid restoration of their health and enhanced cognitive and physical abilities, they knew they had stumbled on a great discovery.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Oral tradition has it that this <\/span>is how Shilajit was originally discovered.\u00a0 Although Shamans and Medicine Men of the time could not possibly have understood its complex and unusual composition, they could easily discern the\u00a0beneficial effects Shilajit\u00a0was having on the people they treated, which was a massive restoration of health and well being.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Maybe so, but maybe not; either way decades of intense scientific analysis and study<\/a><\/strong> have revealed that Shilajit is one of the most nutrient-dense substances on the planet.\u00a0 And what’s more, is that the nutrients it contains, such as naturally occurring humic and fulvic acids – two of nature’s most potent detoxifiers of heavy metals and other pollutants that disrupt the natural function of the body, and are quite rare to boot.\u00a0 Known euphemistically as the destroyer of weakness<\/em><\/strong>, much can be learned about the incredible properties and benefits of Shilajit by understanding the process of how it is created.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the course of millions of years, the lush primeval vegetation that once blanketed Asia was decomposed by the forces of nature, eventually becoming highly compacted under the weight of the mountains, which later formed as continental plates collided.\u00a0 Over 6,500 different species of ancient plants spent many millennia in a sort of geological alchemy that created a thick, black, resin-like substance trapped deep within the <\/span>Himalayas, Caucasus, and other famous mountain ranges in the region.\u00a0 The relentless monsoons and ever-increasing pressure eventually caused this tar<\/em> to begin seeping from cracks in rocks in the sides of the mountains.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scientists also found amino acids, fulvic and humic acids, ellagic acid, fatty acids, and plant sterols, which tend to have a harmonizing effect on the hormonal\/endocrine system, among many others.<\/span><\/h6>\n

The Benefits of Shilajit<\/span><\/h3>\n

Shilajit acts on many different systems in the body, earning it a place among the prized natural medicines known as Adaptogens, meaning it helps to restore balance to one\u2019s system; whether that is through reducing excess (stress and cortisol, for example) or nourishing deficiencies within the body\u2019s various systems.\u00a0 One of the primary ways it does this is through its action on the endocrine system.\u00a0 As the master controllers of the body\u2019s thousands of delicately tuned processes, hormones\u2014or the lack thereof\u2014have a very large influence on your health.\u00a0 They control mood, libido, sleep-wake cycles, hair growth, cognition, energy, consciousness and much more.\u00a0 However, Shilajit\u2019s beneficial medicinal properties are not solely limited to the endocrine system. It has also been shown to:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Selecting Quality Shilajit<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Shilajit can be found seeping wildly in many mountain ranges across Asia, although each culture tends to have its own name for the substance.\u00a0 In Western and Central Asia it is typically referred to as Moomiyo, but in the areas in and around the Himalayas, it is referred to as Shilajit.\u00a0 While this may seem like semantics, it is an important distinction due to the fact that, depending on the source, Shilajit\/Moomiyo will have different compositions.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Generally speaking, the best quality Shilajit is believed to originate from the Himalaya area<\/span><\/h6>\n
    \"Himalyan-Mountain-Shilajit\"<\/em><\/h6>\n
    Shilajit is harvested in remote regions of the Himalayan mountains<\/span><\/h6>\n

    However, because Shilajit is somewhat rare and difficult to collect, as well as the fact that the world\u2019s supply originates in developing countries, the quality varies widely in the products currently available through various health food stores and websites worldwide.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

    The most sought-after and rare form is the night-black mineral resin, with only a handful of companies selling it worldwide.\u00a0 It is a sticky, wet-looking tar<\/em> that is an intensely concentrated and purified form of Shilajit.\u00a0 It can be pricey, although a little goes a long way, making even a small amount last for months, even at higher dosages.<\/span><\/p>\n

    That being said, there are many excellent, more affordable Shilajit products that come in a powdered form\u2014though they will generally be slightly less concentrated and potent than the pure resin.\u00a0 The primary benefits of the powder are the ease of use, price, and the ability to measure precise amounts, if needed, as the resin itself is quite sticky.\u00a0\u00a0When using a powder discernment is needed, as not all brands are equal.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    The vast majority of products available worldwide are actually diluted Shilajit powders.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Pure Shilajit resin is composed of approximately 2% to 10% naturally occurring humic and fulvic acids with the remaining portion composed of minerals and other medicinal substances.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    However, adulterated products are typically 10% to 30% actual Shilajit powder and about 70% to 90% extracted humic and fulvic acids, which can be produced cheaply in a lab and added afterward.\u00a0 While not dangerous, the adulterated Shilajit powders do not possess the same powerful medicinal properties.\u00a0\u00a0Shilajit is not grown like most herbs and foods, so there are no organic or conventional distinctions.\u00a0 If authentic and unadulterated, Shilajit is wild-crafted, which is truly what lends it such incredible healing properties.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Authentic, quality Shilajit\u00a0always has a distinct, strong piercing tar-like odor that is unmistakable.\u00a0 If the product you have does not have a noticeably intense smell or seems \u2018faint\u2019 then it is likely old or diluted Shilajit.<\/span><\/h3>\n
