shilajit
Shilajit is a brownish-black powder from high mountain rocks, mainly in the Himalayas between India and Nepal, although it is also found in Russia, Tibet, Afghanistan and northern Chile.
What is the origin of shilajit?
Due to its unique composition as a plant compound very rich in fulvic acid, the researchers hypothesize that shilajit results from the decomposition of plant matter from species such as Euphorbia royleana and Trifolium repens.
It seems that this decomposition takes place over centuries, and on this basis, shilajit is a product of nature. However, other studies have determined that many other plant organisms may generate shilajit, such as molds.
Benefits of shilajit:
- A substance rich in folic acid.
- Enhances sexual ability and performance.
- Enhance mental and physical abilities.
- Reduce stress.
- An amazing beauty product.
- improves immunity.
- Helps reduce stretch marks.
