Shilajit is a precious substance found at the high altitude mountains of the Himalayas. Shilajit is said to be combination of 85 minerals and vitamins including fulvic and humic acid.
For starters, shilajit resin is known in western cultures as mineral pitch. In other regions, shilajit is known by many other names. The most famous of these are Mummy, Moomiyo and Mumio. You may have heard of its health benefits in Ayurvedic teachings. Although, its healing properties are well known in the ancient world. Its reputation as a panacea has been revived and continues to grow in popularity.
WHAT IS SHILAJIT RESIN?
Today, shilajit is sold as a dietary supplement. Sadly, its reputation for promoting balance in the body is being exploited. Too many marketers and manufacturers don’t understand its true nature. Few are well informed on how to obtain its benefits. Shilajit enjoys wide use in modern alternative medicine. It was used as a panacea by many ancient cultures. It is also regularly used in food manufacturing as an additive. But, the quality of shilajit you can get out there can range from top notch to worthless. So how do you know you’re getting the right strain?
WHERE IS IT EXTRACTED?
Shilajit is a rare resource that is not easy to find or recover. Real, 100% Shilajit resin can only be obtained from rocks that contain the substance known as mineral pitch. These rocks store organic matter, including amino acid bases, from plants that are mostly medicinal and adaptogenic. There must be a unique combination of factors in place for Shilajit to be formed with beneficial properties. These components together go through humification, the process that forms the mineral pitch. Therefore, Shilajit can only be obtained from certain regions of the world. These include the Caucasus, Altai, Himalayas, Siberia and Mongolia. Although rocks containing shilajit can also be found in locations as far north as Antarctica. The right environmental factors such as barometric pressure, temperature, exposure to sunlight, and extreme temperature changes must be present in order to produce Shilajit’s healing properties. Contrary to the popular myth that shilajit is only found at very high altitudes, high altitudes are not always a factor in the formation of shilajit. The substances must also be mature enough for optimal levels of beneficial nutrients to form. These processes must be able to last for at least 40 years. When conditions are ideal, a mummy rock is formed. This is the only source for real, unadulterated Shilajit. Most commercial brands of shilajit are only extracted from an inferior form. This is called a sedimentary rock formation, which is very different from a mummy rock. It contains only remnants of the mummy rock from which only very small concentrations of shilajit can be extracted. The inferior quality of the final product naturally follows from this.
WHAT IS THE COMPOSITION OF SHILAJIT?
The composition of Shilajit is described as follows (Ghosal, et.al. in Agarwal, et.al., 2007)[1]:
“The major organic matter of shilajit comprises humus (60-80%) along with other components such as benzoic acid, hippuric acid, fatty acid, ichthyol, ellagic acid, resin, triterpenes, sterol, aromatic carboxylic acid, 3,4-benzocoumarin, amino acids and phenolic lipids ( Ghosal et al., 1988b). It was found that the main physiological effect of shilajit is due to the presence of the bioactive dibenzo-alpha-pyrones along with humic and fulvic acids, which act as carrier molecules for the active ingredients.”
The unique environmental conditions and life forms present in a region are the main reasons for variations in the appearance and composition of shilajit [2] . Some will contain more or less of a particular mineral, while others will have a completely different profile.
Although, it’s not so much a question of which region the shilajit supplement you plan to take is from. A much more important question is the criteria according to which the raw materials were selected. The reason for this is simple: if you start with inferior raw materials, you will end up with an inferior end product, right?
Another important question to ask yourself is the following question.
HOW IS SHILAJIT RESIN CLEANED?
Natural Herbs Shop Shilajit is sourced from different regions of the world. Unlike other brands that would boast of supposedly premium sources of shilajit, Natural Herbs Shop Shilajit is made with a hybrid source. Natural Herbs Shop Shilajit Shilajit is sourced from different regions. Experts test samples on-site and in the lab for specific properties that are scientifically known to enhance shilajit’s health-promoting properties.
These criteria include the following:
Mummy rocks with white spots are preferred. The white spots indicate the presence of microorganisms. Many of them are responsible for several beneficial properties attributed to Shilajit.
The mummy rock must contain glycine, another important component in making a beneficial shilajit supplement.
Shilajit will naturally be associated with impurities. This includes pollutants, dirt, dust, heavy metals and other contaminants that can damage the body. Cleaning shilajit is important to ensure safety. Any bad batches or raw materials must be discarded to ensure safety. However, other products combine low-quality shilajit with additives, extracts, thickeners and artificial colors.
Sadly, many manufacturers don’t even use mature shilajit in their recipes. Believe it or not, some still rely on centuries-old methods of cleaning the mummy. This practice is wasteful because the extraction cannot be optimized. It is also ineffective in ridding the resin of harmful microorganisms and other contaminants.
What should worry you even more is that even the top selling brands sell products that contain fulvic acid as the active ingredient. It is part of the humic acid component of Shilajit. However, due to its relatively lower molecular weight, it is inferior to others. It is practically a fertilizer. If it gets into your body, it can cause more problems than benefits.
HEALTH BENEFITS OF SHILAJIT
As you now well understand, Shilajit is a phyto-complex. It owes its beneficial properties to its unique composition. Studies have shown that Shilajit embodies the following qualities:
anti-inflammatory [3],
antioxidant [4],
antilipid [5].
Besides these properties, shilajit has also been used to improve brain health [6] and increase libido and testosterone levels [7]. It also boosts vitamin and energy levels, and cleanses the body of toxins, among other things.
ONLY RESIN (NOT POWDER, PILLS OR TABLETS) IS USEFUL
Luckily, there are many ways to tell genuine Shilajit from fake by simply looking at the product.
Shilajit is an organic material that has the properties of a resin. It remains stable under extreme temperatures. If kept in a freezer for several hours, it can be rolled or shaped to your liking.
Shilajit almost completely dissolves in water. An authentic Shilajit resin will not form clumps or residue when dissolved in water.
Shilajit cannot be potent in forms other than resin. Shilajit sold in powder, tablet, or pill form contains negligible amounts of shilajit at best. So if you see a Shilajit product that is not resin, it must be fake almost immediately.
