General Questions About Shilajit

What is Shilajit?

Shilajit is a natural black-brown resin that seeps from high-altitude rocks after centuries of decomposed plant matter. Known as “Black Gold,” “Born of Stone,” and “Destroyer of Weakness,” it is prized in Ayurveda for its rich concentration of fulvic acid, humic acid, antioxidants, and over 80 trace minerals.

Where does Shilajit come from?

Traditionally sourced from the Himalayas, Shilajit is also found in other mountain ranges across Asia, Central Asia, and even parts of South Africa. The best-quality Shilajit is purified and ethically harvested to ensure potency and safety.

Why is Shilajit called “Black Gold”?

It earned this name because of its rarity, potency, and high mineral content. Ancient healers valued it as a superfood of the immortals for restoring vitality and strength.
