WHAT IS SHILAJIT?

Basic Information | Shilajit and our health | Bioavailabity of shilajit | How to evaluate quality of shilajit | How to check authenticity of shilajit

Shilajit, also known under a word "mumiyo" of Persian origin, is a dense mineral mass, formed from eons old plant remains under the influence of orogenic movements.

The word "shilajit" comes from Sanskrit (Shilajatu) and means "mountain tar."

The tectonic plates pressing against each other caused the uplifting of huge mountain ranges, exerting pressure on the rock layers. Where the remains of suitable plants got in, and the arrangement of geological layers and the processes taking place in them allowed them to be compressed and transformed into a characteristic tar-like substance, we can mine it today.

The best conditions for the formation of shilajit are, of course, at the site of the strongest convergent movements, where the world's highest mountains - the Himalayas and Karakorum - were formed. This is where the highest quality shilajit comes from.

During uplifting, shilajit is mixed with rock crumbs, so it is extracted in the form of ore - conglomerate rock from which it must be filtered.

Humans discovered the healing properties of shilajit as far back as ancient times and we learned it from animals using it for healing themselves. In Ayurvedic medicine it has been recognized as the number one remedy.
In fact, it is a unique gift of nature, a true "superfood," a one-of-a-kind supplement containing a set of 85 essential micronutrients needed for the functioning of our bodies.

The composition of shilajit consists of fulvic and humic acids, along with a wealth of minerals and vitamins, such as iron, zinc, magnesium, potassium, retinol, vitamins B, C, E.

There are 5 sorts - grades of shilajit, which differ in composition and properties, depending on the specific location and conditions of formation.

It is important to know that only shilajit of the highest - GOLDEN - grade offers all the properties for which it is famous and such a rich mineral composition.

This is the type we offer you. Lower grades will not give the desired results. In addition, we guarantee the highest quality - the whole process is carried out in accordance with tradition, without commercial practices, at the same time taking care to meet global standards - our products are subjected to laboratory testing and certification.  We send the product freshly dried, extracted from the world's purest source.

We wholeheartedly recommend you - try it too, and your body will thank you!

7. BIOAVAILABILITY

Shilajit is a perfect supplement not only due to the full set of trace elements, but also because of their natural bioavailability. The large content of fulvic acids helps a lot to get the nutrititive ingredients correctly absorbed by our cells on mitochondria level.

Its a unique feature of this gift of the nature, hardly achieved even in laboratories: the most complete combination of trace elements, provided in a form that ensures their maximal bioavailability.

Here it's an important reminder that not all products called "shilajit" or "mumiyo" will provide these features. It depends on the richness of the source raw material and correct processing. Unfortunately most products available on the international market come from less mineralized and more polluted sources, so they are often much poorer in their composition. Moreover, their processing involve a lot of shortcuts that make the production faster, but spoil the original nutritional value. Some producers compensate it with synthetic additives, that are sometimes neither beneficial nor neutral for our health.

A 100% natural shilajit, extracted from the best sources, and processed correctly with traditional methods, without any commercial shortcuts, is a completely safe, powerful and healthy product, that serves all humans' health (except those affected by hypotension, or taking medication that may interfere with shilajit)

Only this kind of shilajit can be purchased on our site and it is highly possible that we are the only company offering this quality worldwide, outside the areas of natural occurence of shilajit.

HOW TO JUDGE SHILAJIT QUALITY

Why every shilajit has to be tested for heavy metals?

Heavy metals can harm our health in various ways, including irreversible damage to liver and kidneys. Heavy metals can enter into a shilajit ore either with human-made pollutions, or natural resources already included in the rocks, with which it mixes up.

A producer can never exclude any presence of heavy metals in a raw material. That's why we put so much attention to lab testing of our samples. We can proudly say that we guarantee total absence of heavy metals in our shilajit products.

Unfortunately unless there are some regulations in the market, a customer can't be ever sure if the received shilajit is safe. We recommend to buy only from sellers that test their products for heavy metals.

REMARKS ON QUALITY OF SHILAJIT

The Authentic Best Quality Shilajit preparation is very difficult job requiring a lot of hard work and patience in preparation to get the best!  Most Shilajit in the market is of low quality because firstly it is obtained from lower altitudes where Shilajit rock is neither that rich in minerals nor is it so pure and often contaminated by the urban developments, especially related to the effect of modern transportation and the use of chemicals and fertilizers. In comparison Healing Shilajit is sourced from mountains in surrounds of  villages where even today, the mode of transport is animals and most people walk on feet for miles every day! The Shilajit extractors are great mountain climbers, who sometimes risk their lives while climbing on steep rock walls, hanging with ropes with heavy weight on their backs! They climb as high as 16000ft - 18000ft, hunt for the reddish black raw Shilajit rocks - keep digging for hours - even sometimes may need to spend up to two nights high up in order to bring few kilos of Shilajit rock down with them. It is later transported through the help of animals down to the village nearby and from there to the preparation area.

Due to the fast rising awareness about the essence of Shilajit, many international big companies have started to take interest in it and have commercialized this business. They have done research on Shilajit benefits and have given it a great presentation and advertising - attracting customers  but good advert may not always be  reflection of great quality!  They reason for high pricing does notnecessarily reflect quality but also the cost of running business in developed countries like USA. Companies want to compete, produce a lot, very fast often compromising on its organic quality in the name of safety & testing. For example they would boil the filtered Shilajit water to make a quick resin from it and call it an improved method, It is like trying to convince people that Formula milk is better than mothers breast milk! Boiling takes few hours however sun drying takes about 3 weeks! Sun drying is a very natural process, it retains all the mineral properties and  is by itself has anti-bacterial effects and keeps the life of Shilajit immortal.  Shilajit from so high mountains is already pure and does not have heavy metals! In addition International Lab test certification can guarantee its consumption safety!

 

HOW TO CHECK AUTHENTICITY OF SHILAJIT?

Shilajit can be tested on the following characteristics for its authenticity and purity

1. Smell: Pure Shilajit has fresh organic earthy smell. Smell of Shilajit is pleasant though it’s strong!
2. Texture and Color: Shilajit is a black/brown tar like substance! Gold graded Shilajit has a red wine like shade in light when it’s dissolved in water.  We send our Shilajit in resin form as its sun dried! Most Cooked Shilajit are hard like rock and difficult to scoop.
3. Solubility: Shilajit is soluble in water if mixed well! It never dissolves in 100% alcohol or in any oil.
4. Purification: It’s very simply to check if your Shilajit is well purified or not! Simply put a very small amount of Shilajit under your front teeth and press! If there is any grit or sand it means your Shilajit isn’t well purified! This is the easiest way to check the purification of your product! Pure Shilajit never catches any flame if exposed to fire directly! It become ash!

Lab Test: This is little expensive but the best way to test your Shilajit if you have any doubts on your product!
