Shilajit

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

What is Shilajit? This mountain conqueror.

Originating from mountainous regions, Shilajit is a dark, 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. These play a crucial role in the body's absorption of nutrients, 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!

The Supposed Benefits of Shilajit: A True Boost for your health.

• Increased energy: Shilajit is often described as a natural energizer. It contributes to reducing fatigue and improving daily vitality.
• Strengthened immune shield: Thanks to its powerful antioxidant properties, Shilajit strengthens immune defenses and helps the body fight against infections.
• Optimized brain function: Shilajit supports cognitive functions, improves memory, and may help protect the brain against aging.
• Overall health: The benefits of Shilajit extend to many areas: cardiovascular health, digestive system support, and fighting against oxidative stress.
• Sexual tone: Many customers tell us they take Shilajit to improve their sexual functions, particularly erectile function. It is apparently used by both men and women. According to an Indian study, it increases testosterone levels.

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 acts on several levels:

• Optimal nutrient absorption: It promotes the assimilation of vitamins, minerals, and other elements essential to 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.

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

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

What are the main minerals present in shilajit?

Although the exact composition may vary depending on the geographical origin of the shilajit, it generally contains:

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

Which foods contain fulvic acid?

• Soils rich in humus: Plants grown in soils rich in humus (decomposing organic matter) naturally absorb small amounts of fulvic acid. Root vegetables like carrots, beets, and potatoes can contain traces of it.
• Mineral waters: Some natural mineral waters, especially those from springs located in regions rich in organic matter, may contain small amounts of fulvic acid.
• Honey: Honey, especially from mountainous regions, may contain tiny traces of fulvic acid, brought by bees foraging on plants that have absorbed this substance.

If you wish to increase your fulvic acid intake, turn to 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, even if it remains anecdotal.

How to integrate Shilajit into your routine?

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

Courses of treatment should remain short. Taking shilajit in capsule form will ensure the product is purified; conversely, avoid the resin which is raw and therefore unpurified.

Side effects and contraindications of Shilajit.

• Product quality: Opt for quality products from reliable sources that are laboratory tested.
• Geographical origin: The Himalayas are often cited as the source of the highest quality Shilajit, but other regions can also produce it.
• Purification process: Raw Shilajit must be purified, just as one would with tribulus or Ashwagandha, to remove impurities. It can contain undesirable substances such as mycotoxins, heavy metals, or oxidizing compounds.
• Drug interactions: Shilajit can interact with certain medications. Consult your doctor.
• Side effects: Although rare, side effects like stomach aches or nausea may occur if the treatment lasts too long or if there is intestinal fragility.
• Reserved for adults and adolescents (subject to change, see product label). Keep out of reach of young children. Do not exceed the indicated daily dose. Prohibited for pregnant and breastfeeding women.

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

Prioritize short courses of treatment, a standardized extract providing a dosage between 300 and 500 mg with a quality purified shilajit!
