Shilajit 90 * 500mg Vegi Caps

In its natural form, shilajit is a bituminous substance which, during the hot season, oozes from craggy rocks in the foothills of the Himalayas. A compact mass of vegetable matter, Shilajit contains 84 different minerals in their natural organic and ionized forms, benzopyrones, triterpenes, phenolic lipids and fulvic acid, a particularly effective mineral transporter.

Shilajit is one of the most valued tonics of ayurvedic and Tibetan medicine. It features in ancient ayurvedic texts dating back more than 3000 years. There are few treatable diseases which would not benefit from shilajit.

Traditionally, it has been used more for its powerful tonic and adaptogen properties. Shilajit improves the absorption of other plants and minerals, boosts genito-urinary and respiratory function as well as the immune system. It is particularly recommended for elderly people suffering from general fatigue.

Since the end of the 1980s, researchers have been working to evaluate its therapeutic action and identify its benefits in various areas:

• Animal studies suggest it may have nootropic and anti-anxiety effects;
• Several animal and human studies show beneficial effects in the treatment of diabetes. Shilajit’s fulvic acids help to control blood glucose and reduce the oxidative stress which is partly responsible for the deterioration of insulin-producing cells.
