It’s a
nutrient-rich biomass-phytocomplex/resin-mineral/herb deposit, found mostly in
the Himalayas and possess the ability to carry nutrition into our body. Its
Indian word means “rock-invincible” and was renowned for its remarkable health
benefits. As a matter of fact it’s a rock-like substance when dried, and is found in mountainous regions in Asia. In
Ayurveda, it’s regarded as the strongest age fighting and rejuvenating
component of the earth.
This material
has great detoxification and energy producing benefits. So it can be used with
any other kind of supplement to enhance potency and efficacy. It has of course
properties of its own: restore energy, increase fertility, enhance immunity,
reduce inflammation, improve cognitive decline and memory. Besides being an
adaptogen (a substance that helps the body adapt to stressors), if you prefer a
natural stress-fighting. It’s a sticky, tar-like resin and takes thousands of
years to form.
Here are the
facts: it’s consumed in Nepal (best quality), Northern India and Pakistan, in
various forms. ALL people using it are renowned for extremely old age and great
health: they have remarkable mental function as they age compared to Western
countries and rarely have age-related disease in these regions. Think that
Sherpan regions are located right in those areas, not by accident! It actually
formed millions of years ago in the Australian mountains as well, although that
quality is lower (anyway it must be said there are no official classifications).
It contains 85 minerals. Most of them contain 60-80% fulvic acid. The greater
the content of fulvic acid, the more anti-aging properties the compound
contains. Fulvic acid is water soluble, moves through our system very quickly
and acts as a very powerful antioxidant, more than noni or blueberries (ORAC
reference: almost 500 Trolox units/g of organic material).
How does it
work exactly? Shilajit restores the production of the body primary source of energy:
ATP (adenosine triphosphate), our usable energy which is formed when
mitochondria convert energy from the food we eat. Mitochondria are organelles
responsible for such conversion of food into chemical energy. They are our
power plants, which gradually function less efficiently with time, working
harder and harder to produce the same amount of energy our body needs.
Deteriorating, they lead to a decrease in vitality (less production of ATP). Our
bodies face an energy crisis as we age: Shilajit helps by enhancing
mitochondrial health with an administration of nutrients (that boost ATP
production and reduces mitochondrial damage). Aging mitochondria and low energy
are associated with accelerated aging of the brain and heart mainly, plus all
other organs.
Mitochondrial
aging deteriorates our nervous system. Its low energy production is both a
cause and a consequence of memory loss and neurodegenerative diseases. One of
the main substances in shilajit, the fulvic acid, appears to inhibits the
evolution of both Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Other nutritive substances are
triterpenes and humic acid. It might not be a cure for all weaknesses from skin
problems to aging problems, as stated in many websites, but is certainly
recommended by everyone who personally tried it.
