Shilajit
ABOUT
Shilajit is a natural substance found mainly in the Himalayas, formed over centuries due to the gradual decomposition of certain plants by the action of microorganisms. It is a potent and very safe dietary supplement and potentially is able to prevent several diseases. Shilajit contains fulvic acid and more than 84 minerals, so it offers numerous health benefits. It can function as an antioxidant to improve the body's immunity and memory, an anti-inflammatory, an energy booster, and a diuretic to remove excess fluid from the body.
BENEFITS
Brain function
Shilajit is traditionally used for longevity and to slow aging. The compounds in it may help control cognitive disorders, such as Alzheimer's.
Aging
Fulvic acid, one of the key compounds in Shilajit, acts as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound. As such, it helps reduce free radicals and cellular damage in the body, which are two key factors in aging.
Antiviral
The wide range of minerals and compounds found in Shilajit helps fight off viruses in isolated environments, including some herpes viruses.
Obesity
Shilajit activates genes in the body that help the skeletal muscles quickly adapt to the new workout. This leads to less fatigue and more strength over time.
Male fertility and testosterone
Shilajit increases male fertility. It increases total sperm count and sperm motility, both of which are factors in male fertility. It also increases testosterone levels.
