WHAT IS SHILAJIT
Shilajit is perhaps the most potent rejuvenator and anti aging block buster ever known to the mankind. Attributed with many magical properties, shilajit is found predominately in the Himalayan region bordering India, China, Tibet and parts of central Asia. The existence and use of Shilajit was a closely guarded secret of the Yogis of Himalayas for many centuries. The Indian Yogis considered it as God's gift and a nectar of longevity. Ancient Indian scriptures mention of the wonderful powers of this elixir in healing most of the ailments of body and mind. An ancient Vedic Hindu text, called the Charaka Samhita written in 200 B.C. states that there is no curable disease in the universe, which is not effectively cured by Shilajit when it is administered at the appropriate time.
Shilajit contains 85+ minerals in ionic form, Vitamins, Fulvic acid and very important phytonutrients. The fulvic acid in shilajit is in it's most natural and purest form. Fulvic acid is required to dilate the cell walls and transport the minerals deep into the cells. No amount of mineral supplements will be of any use unless they are transported into the cells. Minerals also act as catalysts in the assimilation of vitamins. Insufficient supply of minerals will also mean vitamin deficiency. Fulvic acid alone can transport the minerals through the thick cell walls. Shilajit has 85+ minerals apart from fulvic acid and can instantly supply them to the cells. It can effectively prolong cell life and keep it healthy for a very long time. No wonder the Indian Yogis called it as Amrita or the Elixir Of Life. Shilajit is truly a (SUPERFOOD).
ORIGIN OF SHILAJIT
SHILAJIT generally speaking is a concentrated historic plant life from the Himalayan region. Himalayan region encompassing India, China, Tibet and parts of central Asia was home to rich plant life right from the prehistoric times. The plants absorbed various nutrients and minerals from the soil to form rich and green vegetation. The life of trees and plants there extended to many hundred and even thousands of years. After their time the plants returned back to earth along with the minerals and nutrients. This process continued over a period of many centuries. The remains of these plant life in the specific climatic condition and the altitude of Himalayas formed the mineral pitch known as the SHILAJIT. It contains more than 85 minerals in Ionic form and FULVIC ACID. We use a patented method of processing Shilajit (from raw shilajit) which includes reverse osmosis and freeze drying. It is never subjected higher temperatures during cleansing and concentration process. The FULVIC ACID concentration in our shilajeet is anything between 60% to 75% - the highest ever. In Sanskrit the literal meaning of Shilajit is (Rock Like) the power to make our body like a rock enabling it to withstand the ravages of time. It has that unparalleled powers of arresting and reversing the aging process. Indian Yogis on seeing it's powers considered it to have divine powers capable of healing the body of virtually any ailments and preserve our youthfulness. Ancient Chinese and Indian literature mention of it as Amrit or Elixir of evergreen life and fountain of youth. Indian Yogis widely used Shilajit. It is not uncommon to find many Indian Yogis even aged 100 years in Himalayan regions and above having similar stamina and body structure of a youth.
SHILAJIT MYTHOLOGY
SHILAJIT has extensive mention in ancient Hindu literature. King Chandra Varma who is supposed to have ruled much of northern India had to spent most of his youthful years in governing the vast empire, waging wars and protecting it from the enemies. When there was peace and stability in his kingdom he was past 60 years of age. He wanted to enjoy the pleasures of life. He unfortunately found that he had lost all his youthfulness and could not enjoy the natural pleasures of life despite having enormous material wealth and power. He then went on penance in the mountains of Himalayas and prayed to Lord Shiva - prime most among Hindu Gods and considered as the originator of Yoga. Lord Shiva was pleased with his prayer and offered him a substance originating from his body. That restored King Chandra varma's youthfulness. That substance is Shilajit and is found mostly in Himalayan mountains. King Chandra Varma who was the first to take Shilajit is considered immortal and revered even now by local populace in India. Lord Buddha who was originally born into a royal family is considered as one of the descendants of King Chandra Varma.There is also extensive mention of Shilajit as a powerful aphrodisiac and restorer of youthfulness in The Kama Sutra - the most widely read treatise on physical relations.
The Shangri-La is a place described in the 1933 book (Lost Horizon) by British author James Hilton. In the book, "Shangri-La" is a mystical, harmonious valley enclosed in the western end of the Kunlun Mountains (Himalayan mountains bordering Tibet). Shangri-La has become synonymous with any earthly paradise but particularly a mythical Himalayan utopia - a permanently happy land, isolated from the outside world. In the book Lost Horizon, the people who live at the Shangri-La are almost immortal, living years beyond the normal life span. The word also evokes the imagery of exoticism of the orient. The story of Shangri-La is based on the concept of Shambhala, a mystical city in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. James Hilton mentions of an elixir found in The Shangri La as a fountain of youth and great healer. Though he has not specifically mentioned the name of Shilajit there is a possibility that it could be shilajit as it is found essentially in those areas of Himalayan mountains where the mythical Shangri La is supposed to be located. Shilajit was first discovered in modern times by British Explorer Sir Martin Edward Stanley during 1870s when India and Nepal were part of the British empire. Most of the monkeys in plains of northern India age and bald by the time they reach 10 years of age. Sir Edward Stanley on his exploration in higher altitude of Himalayas to his surprise found that there were hardly any monkeys with aged look. He subsequently observed that the monkeys ate a blackish mineral pitch oozing near the rocks and that could be the reason behind the youthfulness of the monkeys. That was an odd behavior as monkeys do not eat anything from the earth. The locals there called it "silajitu". Only some Indian Yogis there knew how to treat and purify silajitu and it was offered to very select people there. This has mention in his book.
It was also said that the Persian emperors Darius and Xerxes learnt about Shilajit from Indian yogis and took it themselves apart from giving to their elite forces. Mongol emperor Chengiz Khan too was said to have taken shilajit for himself and his elite troops. In modern times Russian army widely took Shilajit like substance found in Ural mountains.
FULVIC ACID from SHILAJIT is far superior to that from any other source
Currently the two main sources of Fulvic acid are alluvial soil and Shilajit. The difference between Shilajit based fulvic acid and alluvial soil derived fulvic acids lies in the core structures of the fulvic acids (FAs) in these compositions. Shilajit-Fulvic acids contains 3,8-oxygenated dibenzo-.alpha.-pyrone as the core nucleus. These upon repeated oxidation by nucleophile-containing oxygen, nitrogen and carbon ions, in association with various lipid moieties, produce a multiplayer micellar structure. In contrast, alluvial soil-Fulvic acids are composed essentially of aromatic hydroxy acids and polyphenols derived from phenolic oxidations. Both these Fulvic acids contain different metal ions, especially Fe, Co, Zn, Ca, etc., associated with the FAs. The metals in Shilajit-FAs are well-organized, multicentered, metal-ion associated products which, in the case of iron, maintains the metal in the reduced state and produce different iron-containing enzymes. Such trace ion-metal associations are not possible for soil-Fulvic acid because they have a much less organized heteropolycondensate structure whose micellar structure is irregular. Shilajit - the Himalayan mountain sourced one is available in a relatively pure environment in the high altitudes of snow capped Himalayan mountains. It has been formed over several thousands of years and is by far considered as the best source of fulvic acid. Another unique feature of Shilajit-Fulvic acids is that it is of endogenous origin produced by plant systems. These systems meet the essential need of bioavailability of trace metals and minerals, which serve as a carrier of essential nutrients in the living animal body. By contrast, soil-Fulvic acid, being exogenous in origin, do not contribute to those essential needs of animals. Shilajit-Fulvic acid also contains oligomeric (di, tri, tetra) dibenzo-.alpha.-pyrones, which scavenge free radicals and free metal ions, to become a soft-spin radical. In contrast, soil-FAs contain only esters of phenolic acids which do not have the antioxidant activity possessed by Shilajit-FAs. Significantly, acylated DBP, with a lipid chain, are present in Shilajit-FAs; these actives behave like a liposome (polymicellar structure) which can act as an efficient carrier molecule. The phenolic acid esters present in soil-FAs do not possess these characteristics.
How do I take it
To consume, simply dissolve in hot, non chlorinated water, tea or warm milk and drink. Alternatively one can dissolve under the tongue or simply swallow a portion if the taste is too unpleasant.
We recommend starting with a rice to pea sized portion, one to three times a day for general well being. Amount can be increased for greater energy and effect.
Traditional Ayurvedic instructions recommend that shilajit be dissolved in hot organic milk or taken with ghee (clarified butter) or taken with raw, unpasteurized honey to increase delivery to the body. If one is a vegan one may substitute the previously mentioned products with sesame oil or coconut oil. Follow with a cup of hot water. If one has a Pitta constitution ghee is recommended, for Vata sesame oil, and for Kapha honey is best.
How is shilajit used for Rasayana (rejuvenation)
Shilajit stimulates the growth process of skin cells at a molecular level. It improves the blood’s ability to carry oxygen and iron. These properties of shilajit give people a healthy appearance and youthful glow. Likewise, Shilajit’s minerals help to maintain the body’s optimum energy metabolism rate which naturally slows down with age. This is achieved partly through balancing electrolyte levels, and by burning off excess fat. Ayurveda practitioners tout its ability to balance hormone levels that change and cause stress as we age.
How is Shilajit used for health and wellness
A great many health issues can be traced to mineral or nutrient deficiencies. Intensive chemical farming (through pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, etc) and irrigation have removed natural minerals and beneficial microbes from our agricultural land and the plants grown on it. Shilajit contains many of the vital minerals and trace elements needed for energy reactions in our cells and the growth of new cells and high percentages of fulvic acid to help transport these mineral molecules deep into the body.
8 BENIFIT OF SHILAJIT
1. Mood Stabilizing
This is the first thing I noticed when I started taking Shilajit. After the first week, my mood rapidly improved. A few days in I felt the edge coming off my anxiety but over time the effect built up to the point where I rarely get anxious anymore. This has been supported in studies where when tested against Xanax; shilajit showed similar results without any of the side effects associated with prescription drugs.
2. Antioxidant
Shilajit has a unique set of antioxidant properties that are well proven but difficult to explain. In short, it inhibits lipid peroxidation and reduces glutathione. I layman’s terms, it prevents the free radicals that cause oxidization in your blood.
3. Antibacterial
Shilajit has been tested and proven effective for fighting various bacterial infections including staphylococci and streptococci, proving it as a powerful antibacterial substance.
4. Alcohol Addiction and Withdrawal
When tested against Xanax in treating anxiety caused by alcohol withdrawal Shilajit had comparable results to the prescription medication. It showed a significant reduction in stress levels without producing side effects.
5. Immune System
It is a nonspecific immune stimulator. It has been proven to regenerate the immune system boosting overall immune function and restoring your immune system to its natural rhythm.
6. Blood Sugar in Diabetes
Shilajit has been successfully shown to improve blood sugar levels in those suffering from diabetes through the repair and regeneration of the pancreas gland.
7. Cognitive Enhancer (Nootropic)
Shilajit has been used traditionally to increase mental function showing both effects in learning ability and memory. Modern science has supported this by demonstrating that the resin was able to slow the natural degeneration of neurons in your nervous system.
8. Tissue Repair and Regeneration
Multiple studies have shown the incredible regenerative effects of Shilajit. It was used as an anabolic agent by the soviet sports and military thanks to the extensive results it has shown when it comes to healing muscle and bone tissues. One extreme example is a study that demonstrated supplementing this mineral resin doubled the healing time of broken bones in the test subjects. It has also been shown to protect neurons and help increase muscle mass after activity.
It has repeatedly shown in every way to be able to restore the human body to its natural healthy state.
Side Effects of shilajit
If used in the right way and dosage, Shilajit is not associated with any serious side effects. In cases where someone takes iron supplements along with shilajit, it could lead to building up of an excess iron in the blood, as Shilajit contains a pretty high amount of iron. In very rare cases, it could aggravate gout or lower the blood pressure. But apart from those three cases, Shilajit is perfectly safe even in higher than normal quantities.
Side effects from shilajit may be indicative of a low-quality shilajit, or something that claims to be shilajit but is not really so. Be aware that many shilajit supplements on the market aren’t exactly what they’re reported to be. Some of these contain fertilizer. Others contain toxic heavy metals. Be sure you’re getting the right stuff.
Possible fulvic acid side effects may similarly occur, if taken in an isolated form, as it’s not in the same arrangement that a real shilajit will be in.
For many, shilajit is best taken with food to minimize any lightheadedness that can occur.
However, it’s always a good idea to listen to your body and stop taking Shilajit if you notice symptoms of an allergic reaction, which may include nausea, dizziness, increased heart rate, itchiness etc. Keep in mind that this counts for everything we ingest and there were no reported cases of severe allergic reactions to Shilajit.
Of course, it’s always best to talk to your physician before taking any supplements, especially in cases where you already take prescribed drugs.
If you take a very high dose, Shilajit might increase uric acid levels which in turn can lead to increased bile levels resulting in more problems. However, this happens only when a very large dose is administrated.
Anti-disease properties – The properties of shilajit are especially beneficial for those suffering from:
>> Diabetes
>> Stress
>> Arthritis
>> Obesity
>> Alzheimer’s
>> Genitourinary disorders
>> Jaundice
>> Digestive disorders
>> Epilepsy
>> Nervous disorders
>> Anemia
>> Bronchitis
>> Hemorrhoids
>> Kidney Stones
>> Edema
>> Asthma
>> Thyroid Dysfunction
>> And much more
Shilajit contains a wider variety of components, each of which may be responsible for some of its many benefits. A few of these include:
>> eldagic acid
>> triterpenes
>> sterols
>> aromatic carboxylic acids
>> 3,4-benzocoumarins
>> amino acids
>> polyphenols
>> phenolic lipids
>> polysaccharides
>> lignins
>> dibenzo-α-pyrones (this one acts as a carrier of the other components)
