Information on Shilajit
Shilajit is the traditional Indian system of medicine also commonly used in Ayurveda and it is known in the western world as Mineral pitch, mineral wax, black asphaltum and girij. It often gets confused with Ozokerite which is another type of humic matter, similar to Shilajit but unfortunately without any medicinal qualities. There are quite a few food supplement suppliers which market products claimed to be Shilajit, while in fact they sell products based on Ozokerite. Ozokerite is raw and very cheap, and it is often used in cosmetics. Shilajit smells like bitumen and it melts in the hands. Shilajit is actually an adaptogen and a rasayana material which is known to be very efficient in enhancing the stamina, boosting the strength and relieving the stress. Shilajit contains approximately 85 different types of minerals in their ionic form and the most significant ones include fulvic acid, humic acid, aromatic carboxylic acid and triterpenes.

It is brown or black, soft, very heavy and it is also slimy to touch. Shilajit is also soluble in water.
