A natural substance from the Himalayas
Shilajit is a traditionally used natural resin that has been valued in various cultures for centuries - especially in the Himalayan region. The black, resinous substance is found in layers of rock at high altitudes and is characterized by its special composition of natural minerals and organic compounds.
But what is actually in it - and what makes shilajit so special? In this article, we take a closer look at its ingredients and origin.
The ingredients of shilajit - what's in it?
Fulvic acid
Fulvic acid is one of the main components of shilajit. It is produced during the natural decomposition of plant material in humus-rich soils. It is present in shilajit in concentrated form and is considered a key quality feature.
Minerals and trace elements
Shilajit contains over 85 naturally occurring minerals in ionic form - including magnesium, zinc, iron, calcium and copper.
Humic acid
Humic acids are natural organic compounds that occur together with fulvic acid in shilajit. They are also produced by the decomposition of plant matter in the rock layers of the mountains.
Dibenzo-alpha-pyrone
A natural compound of plant origin contained in shilajit. Its occurrence is a typical characteristic of high-quality raw materials.
