Shilajit – the "black gold" of Ayurveda

Science-Backed

Shilajit is a natural, resinous substance found in high-altitude regions such as the Himalayas, the Altai, and the Caucasus. It is formed over centuries through the decomposition of plant materials under the influence of microorganisms, pressure and temperature.

This process produces a complex mixture of organic and inorganic compounds, including fulvic acid, humic acid, minerals, and trace elements. The substance typically appears as a dark brown to black resin seeping from cracks in the rock.

In some regions, Shilajit is also called Mumijo. The terms are often used synonymously, although the composition of the substance can vary depending on its origin. Shilajit is the Ayurvedic name and usually refers to the substance originating from the Himalayas.

Shilajit in Ayurveda

Shilajit from the Himalayas – particularly regions such as Nepal, India (Kashmir, Uttarakhand), and Bhutan – is generally considered to be of the highest quality.

The unique geological and climatic conditions in these regions, such as high altitude, mineral-rich soils, and extreme temperatures, favor the formation of particularly pure and mineral-rich shilajit deposits.

Shilajit is highly valued in Ayurveda and has been used for over 3000 years. Thanks to its composition, shilajit is considered a potent adaptogen and has traditionally been used to support energy, vitality and cognitive function.
