What is Shilajit?

Pure Shilajit Resin

Shilajit is a natural resin rich in minerals and organic compounds. Traditionally used in Ayurveda, it is valued for its complex natural composition and long formation process within mountain rock layers.

Shilajit forms over centuries as plant material breaks down under pressure, temperature changes and geological movement. It is found mainly in:
