Gold Standard Shilajit Paste

Shilajit, also known as "rock juice" or "mountain blood," is a dark substance found in mountainous regions like the former USSR, Afghanistan, and Tibet. It forms over hundreds of years through a unique process where plant matter ferments between rocks, aided by microorganisms and climatic changes.

Tests suggest Shilajit can be between 500 to 15,000 years old. It's a mix of organic and inorganic compounds, rich in trace elements. Its components include fulvic acids, humic acids, amino acids, and various organic compounds like terpenes and triterpenes.

This natural substance is believed to have health benefits and is classified as an organomineral matter, containing essential minerals like zinc, calcium, and iron.

HOW DOES SHILAJIT WORK?

Shilajit's effectiveness stems from various mechanisms observed in both humans and animals. It boosts ATP levels, activates mitochondrial respiration, enhances calcium ion transport, and contains compounds like dibenzo-alpha-pyrones (DBPs) that protect brain tissue and increase acetylcholine levels.

ATP, known as the energy currency of cells, is crucial for various bodily functions like muscle contraction and nerve impulse propagation. Studies show that shilajit supplementation increases ATP levels in muscles, brain, and blood, improving energy production and exercise performance.

DBPs in shilajit can cross the blood-brain barrier, potentially shielding brain and nerve tissue from damage and boosting cognitive function. Additionally, shilajit activates mitochondrial respiration while regulating certain enzyme activities, potentially enhancing cellular energy production.

Furthermore, shilajit's antioxidant properties help neutralise harmful free radicals, promoting overall health and vitality.

Benefits

Shilajit has been used for over 3,000 years in traditional Russian and Ayurvedic medicine for various purposes, including anti-inflammatory effects, toxin antidote, and treatment for numerous conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, and skin diseases.
- It is incorporated into pharmaceutical drugs and has shown antimicrobial properties against various bacteria, reducing treatment periods for conditions like pulmonary tuberculosis.
- Shilajit promotes faster healing of injuries, burns, and bone fractures in animals and humans, and has anti-inflammatory effects in gum disease, arthritis, and ulcers.
- Compounds in shilajit, such as benzoic acid and fulvic acids, contribute to its anti-inflammatory properties.
- Shilajit stimulates lymphocyte production, improves memory and cognitive function, and may act as a painkiller and tolerance inhibitor.
- Fulvic and humic acids in shilajit enhance immune function and may improve the body's utilisation of nutrients.
- Former USSR utilised shilajit to enhance physical and mental performance in athletes and military personnel, with potential benefits including reduced stress injuries, improved recovery, and increased strength and endurance.
-Studies suggest shilajit may increase sperm count, motility, and hormone levels in men.

Not all Shilajit is the Same:

Genuine Shilajit is a thick, sticky resin used for 3,000 years, with most research conducted on this form.
- Processing Shilajit into tablets, capsules, powder, or liquid removes and alters its components due to heat and other processes.
- Shilajit in altered forms may not exhibit the same benefits as the natural whole form.
- Third-party laboratory tests are crucial to confirm authenticity, purity, and safety, including tests for fulvic and humic acid content, minerals, microbiological analysis, and heavy metal content.
-Susie Who's Shilajit undergoes rigorous testing for authenticity and safety, ensuring it contains no dangerous levels of heavy metals or microorganisms.

Dosage and Guidelines:

- New users should start with half of one 0.1ml spoon (about 125mg) of Shilajit and monitor for adverse reactions for 24 hours.
- If no adverse reactions occur, proceed with supplementation the following day.
