Shilajit, often referred to as the “Nectar of God,” holds great significance in certain regions of northern India where it is known as the “remover of weakness.” This resin, which is dark brown or black in color, is derived from the decomposition of long-dead plants. It is abundantly found in the Altai mountains, particularly during the summer months when the temperature is higher. Yogis often consume this unique-looking resin as part of their meditation practice.
Similar to our other products, Shilajit resin serves as a potent adaptogen and is rich in vitamins and minerals. Adaptogens have remarkable qualities as they assist in restoring balance within the body’s systems. They have the ability to assess the body’s cells and provide support where it is most needed. Additionally, the high antioxidant content in Shilajit resin helps combat free radicals and protects the body from oxidative stress.
Moreover, this mineral has been known to enhance libido, revitalize the reproductive system, boost stamina and vitality, promote urinary tract and kidney health, improve the efficacy of other herbs, and aid in the absorption of nutrients.

Shilajit, a naturally-occurring substance found in the mountains of Altai, is a product of the gradual and microbial decomposition of certain plants over centuries. It is a powerful and safe supplement that is renowned for its ability to enhance physical strength and promote overall health. This natural resin has been widely used in Ayurvedic medicine as an anti-aging compound and rejuvenator.
One of the notable components found in Shilajit is fulvic acid. Fulvic acid is a naturally occurring compound that can be found in soils, compost and marine sediments. Fulvic acid, along with other minerals present in Shilajit, may have potential benefits such as boosting brain function and slowing down the aging process.
It is worth noting that the therapeutic effects of Shilajit extend beyond its fulvic acid content. Shilajit has been found to have potential in reducing blood glucose levels and repairing pancreatic damage caused by diabetes. Additionally, studies have shown that Shilajit exhibits toxic effects on various types of cancers, including lung, breast, colon, ovarian, and liver cancer.
In the traditional Ayurvedic method of purifying Shilajit, the raw resin undergoes a process involving thorough washing in water and filtration to remove water-insoluble impurities. The filtrate obtained is then heated under direct sunlight to concentrate it. During the heating process, a creamy layer forms, which is skimmed off 3-4 times to obtain pure natural Shilajit. This purification process aims to bring out the most bioactive components of the Shilajit resin.
Natural Shilajit, being a robust and ancient substance, does not require freezing or refrigeration for storage, and it retains its potency for an extended period of time. The expiration date of Shilajit is unlimited. It does not deteriorate throughout its entire shelf life, even under unsuitable storage conditions. While the consistency of Shilajit may change over time, its properties remain intact.
It can be consumed in its raw form as the resin is highly soluble and absorbable on its own. However, it can also be taken with water, hot milk or tea.
It’s important to consult with a healthcare professional or Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized advice on incorporating Shilajit into your routine and to determine the appropriate dosage and usage based on your specific needs and health condition.
Indeed, there are different types of Shilajit resin, and the potency and purity of the resin can vary based on several factors. These factors include the altitude and location from which it is collected, the methods of purification employed, and most importantly, the quality of the natural Shilajit itself.

The process of extreme temperature and pressure exerted by the mountains can lead to the transformation of matter and plants, resulting in a concentrated mass of minerals that emerges from the rocks. This substance is commonly known as Shilajit. Mountains experience changes in temperature over time due to climate change, with mean annual temperatures increasing in certain regions. The transformation of matter into Shilajit is not directly related to climate change but rather to the geological processes occurring within the mountains.

If your shilajit resin has turned hard, don’t worry! You can easily soften it by following these steps:
Prepare the Resin: Place the hardened shilajit resin into a small container or jar.
Add Water: Add 5-10 drops of warm water to the shilajit. Be careful not to add too much water, as you don’t want to dilute the resin too much[4].
Stir and Wait: Stir the mixture gently. Let it sit for a few minutes. The resin will gradually absorb the water and begin to soften[5].
Check Consistency: If the resin hasn’t softened enough, repeat the process by adding a few more drops of water and stirring again until the desired consistency is achieved.
Store Properly: Once softened, close the container tightly to keep the shilajit at the right consistency for future use[4].
