DID YOU KNOW?

Shilajit doesn’t come from a single specific plant but is formed over centuries through the slow decomposition of various plants and organic matter, compressed under layers of rock in high-altitude mountainous regions like the Himalayas. Research suggests that latex- and resin-bearing plants, such as Euphorbia royleana (a type of spurge) and Trifolium repens (white clover), are likely contributors due to their presence near shilajit-bearing rocks. Additionally, mosses and liverworts like Barbula, Fissidens, Minium, Thuidium, Asterella, Dumortiera, Marchantia, and Plagiochasma may also play a role in its formation, as their humification contributes to the organic mass of shilajit. The exact plant sources can vary depending on the region and environmental conditions, and the process involves microbial action breaking down this diverse plant material into a complex, mineral-rich substance.

Primary Components: Shilajit contains fulvic acid (a key bioactive compound), humic substances, and over 80 minerals, including iron,magnesium,,calcium.Other Compounds: Dibenzo-alpha-pyrones, amino acids, and trace elements.Purported Health BenefitsShilajit is traditionally used for various health purposes, though scientific evidence varies:Energy and Stamina: Fulvic acid may enhance mitochondrial function, potentially boosting energy and reducing fatigue.Cognitive Health: Some studies suggest shilajit may support memory and protect against neurodegenerative diseases due to its antioxidant properties.Anti-Aging: Its antioxidants may reduce oxidative stress, potentially slowing aging processes.Male Health: Limited studies indicate it may increase testosterone levels and improve sperm quality.Inflammation and Immunity: Anti-inflammatory properties may support immune function.Bone Health: Mineral content may aid in bone regeneration, as seen in some animal studies.

Composition: Shilajit contains fulvic acid (up to 60-80%), humic substances, minerals (like iron, magnesium, and zinc), and bioactive compounds such as dibenzo-α-pyrones. Its exact makeup varies by region and source.Traditional Uses: In Ayurveda, shilajit is considered a "rasayana" (rejuvenator). It’s used to boost energy, enhance stamina, improve cognitive function, support immunity, and promote longevity. It’s also touted as an aphrodisiac and aid for conditions like diabetes, arthritis, and altitude sickness.

Improves Testosterone and Male Fertility: A 2015 clinical study on men aged 45-55 found that 250 mg of purified shilajit twice daily for 90 days significantly increased total testosterone, free testosterone, and sperm motility compared to placebo. This aligns with its traditional use as an aphrodisiac and fertility enhancer in Ayurveda.

OTHER INFORMATION

Our Cold-pressed shilajit is processed using methods that avoid high heat to preserve its natural compounds, such as fulvic acid, minerals, and other bioactive components. The process generally follows traditional and modern techniques to ensure purity and potency while maintaining the integrity of the raw material.

Below is an overview of how cold-pressed shilajit is typically processed, based on available information. Harvesting: Our Shilajit is collected from high-altitude regions, primarily the Himalayas, Altai, Caucasus, or other mountainous areas, where it seeps from rock crevices as a tar-like resin. This occurs during warmer months when the resin softens and is easier to harvest.

Collectors scrape the raw shilajit from rocks, often at altitudes above 12,000 feet.Initial Cleaning: Raw shilajit contains impurities like dirt, sand, gravel, and microbes. It’s first soaked in water (often spring water) for 1–2 days to soften and begin separating impurities. This step helps dissolve the resin, allowing heavier debris to settle while the shilajit floats.Filtration: The soaked shilajit mixture is filtered multiple times using fine cloth or sieves to remove insoluble impurities like rock fragments and plant debris. In modern processing, advanced filtration techniques may be used to further eliminate contaminants, including potential heavy metals, ensuring a cleaner extract.Cold Extraction and Purification.

For cold-pressed shilajit, the focus is on avoiding high temperatures to preserve bioactive compounds. The filtered shilajit solution is often mixed with a traditional herbal decoction, such as Triphala (a blend of Amalaki, Haritaki, and Baheda), to enhance purification and therapeutic properties. The mixture is gently processed, typically at low or no heat, to separate impurities further. The solution may be left to settle or undergo additional filtration until it achieves a thick, pure consistency.

Some methods involve natural sun-drying or low-temperature drying to remove excess moisture without compromising the shilajit’s potency.

Processing and Testing: The purified shilajit is formed into a resin, paste, or powder, depending on the desired product. For cold-pressed shilajit, the drying process is carefully controlled to avoid heat damage, often using air-drying or minimal heat (e.g., below 40°C).

The final product undergoes rigorous lab testing to ensure it’s free from heavy metals, microbes, and other contaminants, confirming its safety and quality for consumption.

Key Notes:Cold-Pressed Specificity: The term “cold-pressed” emphasizes minimal heat to retain the maximum amount of fulvic acid, humic acid, and trace minerals. Unlike thermal evaporation methods, which may reduce potency, cold-pressed processing prioritizes gentle extraction.

Traditional vs. Modern: Traditional methods, like those using Triphala decoction, rely on herbal blends and sun-drying, while modern methods may incorporate advanced filtration and cold-processing technologies to enhance purityQuality Considerations: High-quality cold-pressed shilajit, especially from the Himalayas, is prized for its rich mineral content and potency.

Authentic products are lab-tested for purity, and consumers are advised to choose reputable sources to avoid contaminated or adulterated shilajit.This process ensures that cold-pressed shilajit remains a potent, safe supplement, retaining its natural benefits as used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. Always consult a healthcare professional before using shilajit, and source it from trusted suppliers to ensure quality and potency. However we know we have the best shilajit on the market.
