Shilajit is a natural mineral-rich substance found mainly in the Himalayan mountains. It looks like a sticky black resin and has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries as a health supplement.
It forms from the slow decomposition of plants and minerals in mountain rocks and contains fulvic acid and more than 80 trace minerals, which contribute to its health benefits.
