SHILAJIT
Known in Ayurvedic medicine as the 'Conqueror of mountains, destroyer of weakness', Shilajit is loaded with minerals and compounds that offer many benefits for both the brain and body. It is a black, tar like substance that seeps out of mountains at high altitudes and is the result of broken down plant and organic matter over many years.
Our Shilajit is sourced from the Himalayan Mountains at an altitude ranging from 7000-15,000 ft. At these altitudes, the likelihood of contamination from pollutants is minimum but all batches are still tested for pesticides, heavy metals and bacteria to ensure they meets the standards. The Shilajit is water-purified, extracted, and turned into a powder using an old Ayurvedic Method which allows for it to keep very high mineral and organic compound levels.
