It’s time to let the “cat out of the bag”!  I bet no one has ever told you about shilajit — a remarkable mineral pitch that actually oozes out of the Himalayan Mountains at certain times of the year.

I came across this miraculous substance several years ago, and my body actually “tells me” when it wants more!

Shilajit is revered in Ayurvedic Healing as one of the premier tonic substances known to man, providing deep strength and reserve energy.  It also acts as a powerful systemic detoxifier.  Many researchers believe that its power is due, at least in part, to its high content of fulvic acids.

One of the main functions of fulvic acid in nature is to neutralize toxins, which is a primary traditional herbal function attributed to shilajit. Fulvic acid has the ability to neutralize free radicals throughout the body and to detoxify simple toxins and complex organic toxins.

Ron Teeguarden, one of the world’s experts on tonic herbs and substances says this about shilajit on his company’s (Dragon Herbs) website:

• Shilajit is extremely rich in plant-source ‘organic’ minerals. It contains between 70 and 85 complexed minerals and trace elements along with nutrients, antioxidants, amino acids, and anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal phytochemicals.

• Shilajit is a humic substance, humus being the natural material that is formed when soil microorganisms decompose animal and plant material into elements usable by plants.  After it is collected, it is naturally purified and processed into a potent, high-quality extract.

• Shilajit is extremely rich in fulvic acids, one of nature’s most astounding and miraculous molecular substances, perhaps rivaling DNA in its importance to life on this planet.

Why Take Shilajit as a Supplement?
In my experience, Shilajit provides a deep nourishing and strengthening quality that many people desperately need.  At the same time, it acts as a powerful systemic detoxifier.

Shilajit is traditionally considered to be a strong kidney tonic. From a Chinese perspective, it is a superb Jing tonic, since it increases the primal energy responsible for sexual and spiritual power.  It also enhances the bioavailability and action of other herbs.

I encourage you to give Shilajit a try for three or four months.  It may be just what you’re looking for!

Best,
