OLD ROCK SHILAJIT

Shilajit is a natural substance found mainly in the Himalayan and Karakorum Mountains, formed for centuries by the gradual decomposition of certain plants by the action of microorganisms. It is a potent and safe dietary supplement, restoring the energetic balance and helping to prevent several diseases. Recent investigations show consistent positive results with Shalit’s medical applications in the control of cognitive disorders associated with aging, and cognitive stimulation. This Kashmiri Black Gold is a tar-like substance dense with trace minerals, fulvic acid and other organic compounds prized in traditional Ayurvedic medicinal practices. A naturally occurring mineral pitch which seeps from crevices in the rocks, Shilajit can only be found at altitudes of over 1000 meters, our Old Rock Shilajit is sustainably harvested from the Karakoram Mountains at altitudes of 6500 to 8600 meters.

Shilajit, also known in the north of India as salajit, shilajatu, mimie, or mummiyo, is a blackish-brown exudate from high mountain rocks, especially in the Himalayan and Karakorum Mountain ranges between India and Nepal. Shilajit has been known and used for centuries by the Ayurvedic medicine, as a rejuvenator and as antiaging compound.

There are two important characteristics of a rasayana compound in the ancient Indian medicine: that is, to increase physical strength and to promote human health. In traditional Ayurvedic medicine, Shilajit has been reported to exhibit adaptogenic and potent anabolic properties and has been used for centuries to treat a number of disorders, including muscle and tendon injuries.

Shilajit usually comprises 60-80% organic matter, 20-40% mineral matter and 5% of trace elements. Several reports and scientific data suggest that it contains around 80 bio-active components including fatty acids, benzoic acid, hippuric acid, resin and waxy materials, albuminoids, gums, and vegetable matter. Being a Phyto-complex, Shilajit mainly contains (60 – 80%) of humus substances like humins, humic acids and fulvic acid.

Additionally, it also contains triterpenes, sterols, ichthyol, ellagic acid, resin, aromatic carboxylic acid, 3, 4-benzocoimiarins, amino acids, phenolic lipids, minerals like silica, iron, antimony, lithium, manganese, calcium, copper, molybdenum, phosphorus, sodium, zinc, selenium and small amounts of dibenzo-α-pyrones (metabolites derived from plants, fungi, or mycobionts). But the curative and therapeutic properties of Shilajit mainly come from the presence of fulvic acid that helps in treating a wide range of conditions.

The authenticity and purity of Shilajit are critical due to its natural extraction process, which makes it susceptible to contamination with heavy metals, pesticides, and other pollutants. Laboratory testing is essential to:

• Ensure safety for consumption by verifying the absence of harmful contaminants.
• Validate the presence of beneficial compounds such as fulvic acid.
• Certify compliance with international health and safety standards
