This thick, sticky tar-like substance was first mentioned in ancient Sanskrit texts over 3,000 years ago when it was known as ‘conqueror of mountains and destroyer of weakness’. It has since been one of the staples of traditional medicine in a variety of Asian healing systems where it has been used in a wide range of maladies and as an overall booster of health. Shilajit contains fulvic acid and over 84 minerals and offers numerous health supporting benefits.
