Shilajit resin 20gm

Shilajit resin is a sticky, tar-like substance that oozes out of rocks in high mountain ranges, primarily the Himalayas, Altai, Caucasus, and Tibetan mountains. It forms over centuries from the slow decomposition of plant material by microbial action and extreme geological pressure.

Overview :
Type: Natural mineral pitch/resin
Color: Dark brown to black
Taste: Bitter, earthy
Texture: Sticky, resinous

Composition :
Shilajit contains:
Fulvic acid (main active compound)
Humic acid
Minerals (iron, magnesium, potassium, zinc, etc.)
Dibenzo-α-pyrones (antioxidants)
Amino acids and other organic plant compounds

Claimed Health Benefits :
While traditional and anecdotal evidence is extensive, modern scientific research is still ongoing. Claimed benefits include:
Energy & Stamina- Enhances mitochondrial function, reducing fatigue
Cognitive Support- May improve memory, focus, and reduce stress
Testosterone & Libido- Some studies suggest it boosts testosterone levels
Muscle Recovery- Supports physical performance and muscle strength
Antioxidant & Anti-inflammatory- Helps combat oxidative stress and inflammation

Scientific Evidence :
Some small studies support its effects on:
-Male fertility (e.g., improved sperm count)
-Testosterone levels
-Alzheimer’s disease (due to fulvic acid’s neuroprotective properties)
-Fatigue and mitochondrial function
However, large-scale, long-term studies are limited.

Safety & Side Effects :
While generally considered safe in pure, purified form, there are important cautions:
-Raw/unpurified shilajit may contain heavy metals and should be avoided.
-Side effects (rare): dizziness, allergy, increased iron absorption
