Discover Shilajit Resin: Benefits and Uses

What is Shilajit resin?

Pure Shilajit resin

Shilajit is a black resin and mineral rich in organic compounds, traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine for its potential revitalizing properties. Also known as mumie or moomiyo, its bioactive profile makes it a unique natural supplement.

However, not all products available on the market are authentic. Many lack essential active ingredients. Only a pure, unadulterated resin can offer the full profile of benefits observed in traditional and modern studies.

Key Fact: Real Shilajit is a resin that dissolves completely in water without leaving any residue. Powder, capsule, or tablet forms may be diluted or ineffective mixtures.

Where is it extracted?

Shilajit extraction in mountains

Shilajit forms in extreme mountain environments, where organic matter is trapped and transformed over centuries. These unique conditions allow for the development of a substance highly concentrated in minerals and bioactive compounds.

  • High geological pressures
  • Extreme temperature variations
  • Constant solar radiation
  • Decade-long maturation processes

It is mainly found in regions such as:

  • Himalayas
  • Altai
  • Siberia
  • Caucasus
  • Mongolia

Composition of Shilajit

Composition of Shilajit

Authentic Shilajit resin contains a complex mixture of natural components:

  • Humus (60–80%) – Rich source of organic carbon
  • Benzoic and hippuric acids
  • Essential fatty acids
  • Plant resins and natural sterols
  • Fulvic and humic acids – Mineral absorption facilitators
"The benefits attributed to Shilajit are due to its ability to transport micronutrients at the cellular level." – Recognized scientific studies
