Shilajit

Shilajit (pronounced "shee-la-jeet") is one of the great wonders of Ayurveda (the traditional health system of India and the sister science of yoga). It is not an herb but a special type of "mineral pitch"that seeps from cracks in the Himalayan rocks during the warm summer months. This black gummy-resin is a complex mixture of humus (prehistoric plant deposits), rock minerals and organic substances that have been combined/compressed/transformed into an extraordinary superfood.*

Shilajit has been known and used as a rejuvenator and anti-aging compound by Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. It is used to increase levels of testosterone in men, and helps to regulate the menstrual cycle in women.* It has overall reproductive health benefits for men and women by oxygenating the reproductive organs while removing chemicals and toxins from the blood that can lead to increasing good cholesterol while reducing triglycerides and bad cholesterol. Shilajit is also known as a catalyst and is said to greatly enhance the absorption and bioavailability of nutrients in the body.* This assists the body in essential functions like carbohydrate metabolism, calcium absorption, blood sugar regulation as well as assists with brain and nerve function.
