Shilajit Benefits
Alzheimer's Disease Cure
Shilajit contains an antioxidant known as fulvic acid. A 2012 study found that fulvic acid in shilajit may help block the buildup of tau—a type of protein that forms twisted clusters of dead and dying nerve cells known as neurofibrillary tangles. Tau is considered a key marker of Alzheimer's disease and similar diseases.
High Cholesterol
A small study published in 2003 found improvements in cholesterol levels. The study included 30 individuals, ranging in age from 16 to 30 years. Participants took 2 grams of shilajit per day for 45 days. Researchers found significant decreases in cholesterol levels and triglycerides.
A Time-Tested, Ayurvedic Favorite
Pure Himalayan shilajit has been used for thousands of years to support and bring balance to all three doshas, Vata, Pitta and Kapha. The name, Shilajit, means “Conqueror of Mountains” and “Destroyer of Weakness.”
It’s a thick, sticky mineral-rich rejuvenative supplement that’s prized for its detoxifying properties as well as its energizing and nourishing qualities. Ayurvedic practitioners favor Himalayan Shilajit for supporting steady energy levels, boosting immunity and fostering a healthy aging process.
