What is Shilajit?

A tar-like substance, composed of rich composted soil and organic plant material that has been compressed by layers of rock over a time span of millennia.

Because of the fermentation, compression, and contact with mineral-rich rock and water, Shilajit is an extremely nutrient-dense substance.

Shilajit contains 80+ compounds, including a wide array of natural ionic trace minerals, amino acids, phytonutrients, and humic and fulvic acids.
