Himalayan Shilajit

What exactly is Shilajit?

Shilajit is a black, brownish tar like substance sweats out of the cracks of the rocks
from high altitude Himalayan Mountain, s also called Mumijo, Mumie,
shilajatu, mimie Mummiyo or Asphaltum.
How do these shilajit or the sweat of the rocks form?
Shilajit is formed due to humus, organic plant material consists of rich minerals,
vitamins and vital nutrients, these materials gets compressed under high pressures
of the rocks and exposed to subzero temperature in the winter months and intense
high heat in the summer time over millions of years, when the mountain rocks

exposed to high heat, the rocks cracks or the rocks crack and sweat these black-
brown tar like substance called shilajit, are popularly known as , “SWEAT OF THE

ROCK.
How is Shilajit harvested from such high altitudes of Himalayan
Mountains?
The tribals living around the mountain’s valley scale up these mountains with their
bare hands risking their lives, climb all the way up to kilometers and collect these
tarry substances, it’s a high risk, big reward, simply put livelihood. They contain
many vital miners, vitamins, which are very important for the proper functioning of
our vital organs, cellular structures, can even help mitochondria health. The main
healthy component is Fulvic acids and Humic acids. While Fulvic acid is the main
active compound in shilajit.
Where exactly Shilajit can be found?
Shilajit is found mostly in and around Himalayan mountains regions of India and
Nepal. They are a tar-like substance that sweat out of the rocky layers in high
altitude mountain ranges. These black-brown substance is formed over a 1000s and
millions of years by the slow decomposition of plant material and rich mineral. These
plants in shilajit have never been exposed to chemicals, fertilizers or pesticides.
They are the nature’s best gift for the mankind, no mans land at the top of the high
mountains, clean and pristine mountains is a home to many million medical grade
fruits, plants, mushrooms and biodiversified soil. They have been gradually
converted into mass called humus. Through microbial activity and the enormous
pressure of the weight of the mountains, this humus has been transformed into a
dense, mineral, vitamin, nutrient -rich biomass called shilajit. The enclosed layers of
shilajit are exposed by the cold winters, the hot-intense summer sunlight, and due to
the erosion from the monsoon rains opens up the top layers of cracks in the rocks.
When the temperature in the mountains becomes extremely warm enough in the
summer, the shilajit flows out of the cracks in the rocky layers. Native Indian tribals
and Nepalese climb the mountains and scour the cliffs to collect the shilajit. Although
the color varies from brown to black, the black variety is BEST, because it is the best
in quality and purer and richer in nutrients.

How is shilajit purified and processed to make the supplements and what
are the different forms of shilajit found in the market?
The black-brown tar like substances comes with many impurities as in their natural
occurring form, they need to be purified by removing all the mud, soil, toxins, fungal
material etc., Once they are extracted, approximately 20%, 30%, or 40% of the raw
material remains depending on the purity, cost of shilajit, differs from companies to
company, depending on the use different compositions to make dietary / food
supplements. By proper and stringent method of extraction, purifications to obtain
the high quality Fulvic and Humic acids which are the two most IMPORTANT
components for balanced acidity required to make the highest and the purest quality
shilajit capsules in the form of pure shilajit dry powder capsules, liquid capsules,
gummies, softgels or resins or another form mixed with other products.
Proper extraction is extremely important to ensure consistently high levels of active
minerals, vitamin, and other nutrient rich biomass, by removing inactive ingredients,
and remove harmful moulds, free radicals, and fungal toxins. Good quality shilajit is
then standardized to ensure consistent levels of ingredients, they may vary from one
brand to the other to make it more affordable at times for the health and wellness
seeking customers.
How shilajit was used in ancient Ayurveda, Chinese medicines?
Shilajit has been know for centuries in Ayurvedic treatments and medicines, in the

health, and muscles mass. They also used shilajit as anti-aging and fitness. Shilajit

contains over 84 trace minerals, which makes it the most potent mineral rich as a
supplement, contains, Fulvic acids, Humic acids, which are loaded with particles of
gold, silver, copper, magnesium, copper, zinc, manganese, iron and phosphorus etc.

Why Shilajit is so precious and what potent minerals does it contain?

Shilajit is composed mainly of humic substances, including fulvic acid, that account
for around 60% to 80% of the total nutraceutical compound plus some oligoelements
including selenium of antiaging properties.
The humic substances are the results of degradation of organic matter, mainly
vegetal substances, which is the result of the action of many microorganisms.
Components are divided operationally in humins, humic acid, and fulvic acids
according to their solubility in water at different pH levels. Humins are not
soluble in water under any pH condition. Humic acid is soluble in water under
alkaline conditions and has a molecular weight of 5–10 kDa. Fulvic acid is
soluble in water under different pH conditions, and because of its low
molecular weight (around 2 kDa), it is well absorbed in the intestinal tract and
eliminated within hours from the body . It is likely that the curative properties
attributable to shilajit are provided by the significant levels of fulvic acids
that shilajit contains, considering that fulvic acid is known by its strong
antioxidant actions and likely has systemic effects as complement activator .
Recent studies on the composition of Andean Shilajit in Chile have evidenced
an ORAC index between 50 and 500 Trolox units/g of material, which is
substantially higher than Noni and blueberries (Quinteros et al., unpublished
data). In this context, shilajit seems to be a powerful antioxidant
phytocomplex.
