Shilajit is a rasayana (rejuvenative) herb and an adaptogen. Shilajit contains at least 85 minerals in Ionic form, as well as humic and fulvic acid. Shilajit is a Sanskrit word meaning "conqueror of mountains and destroyer of weakness." It is composed of humus and organic plant material that has been compressed by layers of rock and mixed with microbial metabolites. This humus and organic plant matter then oozes from the rocks of the Himalayas as they become warm in the summer months. It is bitter in taste.

Recommended Dosage for Shilajit: 0.25 - 1tsp three times a day. High dose: 1-2 oz a day, in water or raw milk.
