Shilajit

Ready to explore the secrets of this age-old resin? Together, let’s explore the benefits of this natural, age-old substance.

What is Shilajit? This conqueror of mountains.

Native to mountainous regions, Shilajit is a dark and viscous resin , the result of the decomposition of organic matter. Rich in minerals and trace elements, it is particularly known for its high content of fulvic acids . The latter play a crucial role in the absorption of nutrients by the body, acting as true natural chelators. For centuries, Ayurvedic medicine has revered Shilajit for its therapeutic properties. It is also called the Conqueror of the Mountains!

Fulvic Acid: The Secret to Shilajit's Power.

Fulvic acid is the key component of Shilajit that gives it its unique properties. This complex organic acid works on several levels:

• Optimal absorption of nutrients: It promotes the assimilation of vitamins, minerals and other essential elements in the body by chelating them.
• Anti-inflammatory effect: It helps reduce inflammation, a key factor in many chronic diseases.
• Cellular protection: Its antioxidant properties protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.

Caution: Although research on fulvic acid is promising, large-scale clinical studies are still needed to confirm its full benefits. Some of them are even contradictory.

However, Shilajit from Vit'all+ is available from us and we have not encountered any bad feedback or inconvenience from our customers.

What are the main minerals found in shilajit?

Although the exact composition may vary depending on the geographical origin of the shilajit, we generally find:

• Macro minerals : Calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, phosphorus. These minerals are essential for healthy bones, muscles, the nervous system and to regulate water balance.
• Trace elements : Iron, zinc, copper, selenium, manganese. These elements play a crucial role in many enzymatic reactions and are essential for the immune system, energy production and cellular health.

Summary of the composition of Shilajit:

*Stylized molecular structure of a fulvic acid

What foods contain fulvic acid?

• Humus-rich soils: Plants grown in soils rich in humus (decaying organic matter) naturally absorb small amounts of fulvic acid. Root vegetables such as carrots, beets, and potatoes may contain trace amounts.
• Mineral waters: Some natural mineral waters, especially those from springs in regions rich in organic matter, may contain small amounts of fulvic acid.
• Honey: Honey, especially from mountainous regions, may contain trace amounts of fulvic acid, carried by bees foraging on plants that have absorbed the substance.

If you want to increase your fulvic acid intake, consider dietary supplements, which are generally a more concentrated option. However, a varied and balanced diet, rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains, can also contribute to a moderate intake of fulvic acid, although this remains anecdotal.

How to incorporate Shilajit into your routine?

Shilajit usually comes in powder, paste or capsule form. It is advisable to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and consult a healthcare professional before starting its consumption, especially if you are currently taking medical treatment.

The cures must remain short. Taking shilajit in the form of capsules will ensure the purification of the product, conversely avoid the resin which is pure and therefore not purified.

Side effects and contraindications of Shilajit.

• Product quality: Choose quality products from reliable sources that have been laboratory tested.
• Geographic Origin: The Himalayas are often cited as the source of best quality Shilajit, but other regions can also produce it.
• Purification Process: Raw Shilajit must be purified, as one would with tribulus or ashwagandha, to remove impurities. It may contain unwanted products such as mycotoxins, heavy metals or oxidizing compounds.
• Drug Interactions: Shilajit may interact with some medications. Consult your doctor.
• Side effects: Although rare, side effects such as stomach aches or nausea may occur if the treatment lasts too long or if there is intestinal fragility.
• For adults and adolescents only (subject to change, see product label). Keep out of reach of young children. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women.

In conclusion, Shilajit appears to be a promising dietary supplement, but it is important to use it with caution and not consider it a miracle cure.

Opt for short treatments, a standardized extract providing a dosage between 300 and 500 mg with a quality purified shilajit!
