The Great Rejuvenator
In the Ayurvedic traditions it is known as “Rasayana” which translates as ‘rejuvenator”. In these traditions Shilajit has been used for many diseases as well as yogi’s and warriors to better their physical strength and vitality. Shilajit has a rare quality of having properties of regenerating and detoxify and has been used for people of all constitutions due to its ability to balance all 5 elements and 3 Doshas.
What is Shilajit
Shilajit is a bioactive gum-like substance originating in some high altitude mountain ranges. It is the result of medicinal plants, leaves and soil that have decomposed and fermented over vast periods of time into their simplest components. This creates a unique phytocoplex that exudes itself from cracks in the rocks. Once collected it’s filtered of any impurities such a sand and gravel before being cleaned with spring water and then air dried.
Shilajit can be considered a ‘nutraceutical’ due to the medicinal properties that have been observed and noted particularly in the Ayurvedic and Russian traditions but also in modern clinical research. In Sanskrit, Shilajit literally means ‘Conqueror of mountains and the destroyer of weakness’ and it is known as the great rejuvenator.
In Shilajit we find a composition of:
- Triterpenes
- 85+ Ionic (organic) carbon bonded minerals
- Polyphenols
- Polysaccharides
- 60 macro and micro elements
- Vitamins (A, E, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, C)
- Selenium
- Enzymes
- Anti-Oxidants
- Carbon fullerenes
- Monatomic elements
- Dibenzo-alpha pyrones (anti-allergy, immune enhancing and energising compounds)
“The Conquerer of Mountains, Destroyer of weakness”
Athletic Performance
Athletes have been using Shilajit to take their strength and performance to greater levels. Shilajit can increase blood oxygen levels while aiding in tissue repair and removal of toxic byproducts produced from intense physical stress.
Energy
Shilajit increases mitochondrial energy by augmenting coenzyme Q10 production and upregulating the synthesis of ATP, the primary energy currency of the human body. It has been used to enhance and restore “Qi” (Energy) in it’s use by the Vedas. For these reasons many people with chronic fatigue experience more energy when using shilajit.
Testosterone
In Clinical research Shilajit has been shown to significantly increase free and total testosterone, up to 19% in some trials compared to placebo groups. Testosterone has been reducing in the population by on average of 1% for the last 30 years which has become a problem for both men and women.
Joints
It has been shown to increase Collagen synthesis aiding with accelerated tissue regrowth and thus Joint support. It also provides essential trace minerals like selenium to help maintain healthy joints.
Libido & Fertility
Rich in Jing building properties, Shilajit acts to support and build sexual energy while nourishing the reproductive organs, promoting fertility in both men and women.
Similar to it’s mood enhancing properties, Shilajit can act as an effective aphrodesiac and libido enhancer putting a sustainable fire and energy into the body.
Fulvic and Humic acids
These two organic compounds are strong anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatories making up a large proportion of Shilajit. They play an important role and have far reaching supportive properties. Like many trace minerals, they’re typically missing from our foods due to over farming and soil degradation.
Increases cell permeability
Fulvic acid can transport up to 60x its molecular weight in nutrients to the cell making it an incredible amplifier for herbs consumed in combination. It helps the permeability of the cell membrane, perfect for anyone struggling with absorption or nutrient deficiencies. This permeation also allows the cell to detoxify and chelate away toxins and heavy metals. Shilajit passes through the body efficiently leaving behind its nourishing components.
Better gut health and digestion
These amazing soil acids help with enzyme activity resulting in better digestion and overall gut health. Fulvic acids contain complex pro and pre-biotics that have a direct impact on the production of dopamine and serotonin making it easier for us to handle and buffer stresses while mitigating negative bacteria blooms like candida.
Weight normalisation
As an adaptogen both relating to its hormonal and metabolic regulation including increased fat burning, shilajit can be used to support your ideal weight and bodymass.
Removes Heavy Metals
Due to its molecular structure, Fulvic acid can catch and remove heavy metals from the body, protecting the brain and organs from from toxic metals like lead, aluminium and cadmium.
