Shilajit Extract 100 mg 30 Veggie Capsules

Product description: Shilajit, the mineral pitch of the Himalayas - Tru-Fulvic® purified extract standardized for fulvic acids. Supports energy and everyday vitality, as Ayurveda's classic rejuvenator. Purified and standardized: what reaches the capsule is the resin's active fraction, not whatever seeped from the rock. High in the Himalayas, in the heat of summer, a black tar oozes from cracks in the rock - and for at least two thousand years people have climbed to collect it. With this in mind, Swanson developed Shilajit Extract 100 mg 30 Veggie Capsules! Shilajit, known in the West by its old pharmacy name Asphaltum and across Central Asia as mumijo, is not a plant, a mineral or an animal product but something in between: the compressed, slowly transformed remains of plants and microbes, pressed into the rock over centuries and released when the mountain warms. Its Sanskrit name is usually rendered "conqueror of mountains", and in Ayurveda it is the classic rasayana - a rejuvenator, taken to restore strength. Chemically its heart is fulvic acid, a family of small, highly active humic molecules that grip minerals and carry them, together with dibenzo-alpha-pyrones, the compounds that give the resin its dark colour. Raw resin varies wildly from rock to rock; Tru-Fulvic® is a purified extract standardized so that fulvic acids and their equivalents make up at least seven-tenths of every capsule. It comes in a small vegetarian capsule that fits easily into a daily routine.First and foremost, shilajit supports energy and everyday vitality - the role Ayurveda gave it long before anyone could say why. The modern explanation runs through the cell's power plants: fulvic acids and dibenzo-alpha-pyrones are studied for how they help shuttle electrons and minerals to where the mitochondria use them, and it is this pairing, rather than any single mineral, that researchers have followed. The fulvic fraction is also what makes the resin a carrier: these molecules bind trace elements and hold them in a form the gut can take up. Purification matters here more than with most botanicals, because resin scraped straight from the rock carries whatever the rock did; a standardized extract brings a measured amount of the active fraction and leaves the rest behind. Taken daily, it arrives in a steady, measured amount.See for yourself what treasures nature has to offer - reach for Swanson Shilajit Extract!
