When you consider a new supplement, the first thing that comes to mind is probably not a jar of black, tar-like goo. But maybe it should be, because shilajit is an excellent\u00a0ancient herb<\/a>\u00a0(or herbomineral, to be precise) with a host of health benefits.<\/p>\n

One reason shilajit is such an effective medicinal herb is due to its high\u00a0fulvic acid\u00a0content. Fulvic acid has many proven benefits, from improving gut health to keeping skin healthy. This ancient herb\u00a0contains a huge percentage of fulvic acid and is one of the most common supplements used to increase your intake of this potent acid.<\/p>\n

Known for thousands of years as a rejuvenator of the whole body, shilajit<\/a> has garnered a fairly significant body of research for its impact on various body systems. So, before writing it off for its odd appearance, you should take a read into what it may be able to do for you.<\/p>\n

<\/span>What Is Shilajit?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Known by many names, shilajit is also called mineral pitch, mineral wax, black asphaltum, Asphaltum punjabianum (in Latin), shargai, dorobi, barahshin, baragshun, mumlai, brag zhun, chao-tong, wu ling zhi, baad-a-ghee, and arkhar-tash and mumiyo (variably transliterated as mumijo, mumio, momia, and moomiyo).<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a tar-like substance (known as a biomass) found in the Himalayan and Tibet Mountains. As lush forests were compacted as mountains arose, shilajit was formed. When the temperatures rise around these Indian mountains, this tar-like medical miracle substance oozes from crevices within the mountains. Ranging from yellowish-brown to pure black in color, the black variety is considered the most nutritional.<\/p>\n

Over 3,000 years ago, shilajit was mentioned in ancient Sanskrit texts. Known as \u201cconqueror of mountains and destroyer of weakness,\u201d it has been one of the\u00a0staples\u00a0of traditional medicine (and an\u00a0aphrodisiac) in a variety of Asian countries for thousands of years.<\/p>\n

More recently, due to its impressive effect on diabetes<\/a>, shilajit was included in an herbal supplement known as Diabecon.\u00a0Another fascinating feature of shilajit is its ability to help\u00a0reduce\u00a0the side effects of high-altitude travels. People going from low to high altitude may find it works as a natural way of avoiding \u201caltitude stress.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span>Nutrition Facts<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s not clear if shilajit is a purely biological or geological substance, as it does have a high presence of nutrients found in both categories. Some of the most often recognized nutrients within it\u00a0are fulvic acid, humic acids and dibenzo alpha pyrones.<\/p>\n

Although it\u2019s likely that various types and brands contain different concentrations of some vitamins and minerals, this breakdown of the nutritional content of one brand helps give a starting point for the amounts of common minerals you might find. It\u2019s commonly stated that shilajit, in pure form, contains about 85 different vitamins and minerals.<\/p>\n
