What is Shilajit?

Shilajit is an ancient herbal substance that contains more than 85 minerals and trace elements that the human body needs to function optimally and fulvic acid, which helps the body absorb these minerals at the cellular level. Shilajit has been consumed in Asia for thousands of years as a dietary supplement because of the many benefits it offers.

How is it done

For millions of years, plants and organic matter were captured by layers of rock in the mountainous regions of India and Tibet. The pressure of the weight of the mountains and the extreme temperature changes cause the plants to turn into a rich mineral mass that flows from the rocks. This is shilajit.

Are there different types?

Purity and potency depend on the location and height of the Shilajit, the purification techniques used and, most importantly, the quality of the Shilajit.

Very few people, outside the areas where they are collected, are aware that there are in fact four different qualities of shilajit. It is only considered that the highest rating (Gold rating) has all the legendary features that are read on. When one of the four classes of shilajit is purified, the result will be a resin that looks like black tar.

To identify the original shilajit, one must first see the color and type of rock in which the shilajit is found before it is purified. The most effective Shilajit comes from the highest points of the Himalayas, about 16,000 to 18,000 feet above sea level, where we get our Shilajit at Lotus Blooming Herbs. The highest figure can be found in the red / gold rock on the photo.

Because we personally travel to the source and deal directly with the indigenous people who have been collecting shilajit by hand for centuries, we can only select Shilajit of the highest rank. We are the only source of authentic gold class shilajit outside the areas where it is collected. View our blog to view photos and stories from our trip.

How does it work?

The minerals in shilajit are in ionic form, which means that the body can absorb them more easily and move them to areas where the minerals are needed for cell growth and maintenance. In Ayurveda it is believed that the golden quality shilajit is a rasayana or rejuvenation substance. It is believed that Ayurvedic medicine Shilajit has the unique ability to bring the essence to any tissue system (dhatu). For example, the essence of the muscle (mamsa) is to shape, the essence of the blood (rakta) is to bring life, and the essence of the marrow / nervous system (maja) is to give knowledge.

How do i take it

To consume, easily dissolve in hot water, not chlorinated, tea or warm milk and drink. Alternatively, one can dissolve under the tongue or simply swallow a portion if the taste is too unpleasant. We recommend starting with a portion the size of rice to pea, one to three times a day for general well-being. You can increase the amount for more energy and effect.
