  1. What is shilajit? Shilajit is known to ancient cultures as a rejuvenator of natural origins. In Ayurveda and Eastern European holistic medicine, shilajit is considered a supreme health substance. Prominent physicians of antiquity all revered and used shilajit. Among them are Avicena, Charaka Samhita, and Paracelcius. It is formed from hundreds of naturally refermenting medicinal plants. Nobody knows exactly how many plants as the process is natural. This metabolising matter undergoes a continuous process of humification. Shilajit is formed at very specific atmospheric conditions. Usually, it takes place at higher altitudes in the mountains, with temperatures changing from -40 to +40 Celcius, a certain degree of yearly precipitation, atmospheric pressure, and absolute must high levels of solar irradiation. It also takes a minimum of 40 years for the refermentation process to “ripen” the shilajit. Shilajit is found in rock crevices where it is harvested for further purification and use as a supplement.

  1. What is shilajit made of? Shilajit is incredibly complex chemically. It contains almost all the elements from the periodic table and is very similar to the balance of elements in a healthy human body. The majority of elements contained in shilajit are beneficial to the human body. Shilajit contains naturally occurring: rare earth metals, amino acids, vitamins, dybenzo- a-pyrones, ashless humic acids, fulvic acids, lipids, plant hormones, gallic, kojic, and benzoic acids, alcaloids, caratenoids, chlorophyll. There are innumerable organic molecules in shilajit which are not fully studies yet. Unique content of shilajit makes it a true miracle superfood of nature. Shilajit is a phytocomplex made up of three major components: humus, fulvic acid, and 80+ minerals.
  2. What is real shilajit supposed to be like? When supplementing with shilajit, it is essential to know how to distinguish authentic shilajit from fake shilajit. Authentic and potent shilajit can only exist in resin form. Liquids, powders, tablets, and capsules are usually fake or substandard shilajit products. Tests for the authenticity of shilajit are highly sophisticated. Very few companies or labs have the capability to do extensive laboratory analysis of shilajit for authenticity and quality.Nevertheless, there are a few simple things one can do to test shilajit at home. Genuine shilajit is always a resin, highly sensitive to heat and cold. If you keep it in a warm or hot place it will soften, if you keep it in a freezer it will harden.
  3. Where is shilajit made? Shilajit cannot be made! Raw material is only naturally sourced from specific geographic locations. The right kinds of plants and microorganisms thrive there and their refermentation, humification, and metabolization are subjected to unique environmental conditions. The combination of these factors causes the formation of shilajit. Shilajit may be found anywhere but most of what is commercially sold is sourced around the Himalayas, Caucasus, Russia, and other parts of Asia and Europe. Once the proper raw material is collected it is processed into the resin, known as shilajit resin. Pürblack Live Resin Shilajit is never sourced from a single location. Its sourcing methods are hybrid and based on a scientific process. Only raw materials that meet a specific set of criteria are collected and manufactured into Pürblack. While authentic shilajit is foraged, it should never be ingested without undergoing a process of purification first.
  4. Can shilajit be used as medicine? As per FDA law, no company can claim that shilajit is medicine. We can not make medicine/drug claims, even if they were true. True shilajit can certainly be used to greatly improve health. Shilajit was always revered in many traditional forms of medicine, that includes European, Chinese, and Ayurvedic traditional health systems. While research studies that support its use for medicinal purposes are available, a consensus for such use has yet to be reached from within the medical community. Shilajit is best used as an adaptogen that helps improve overall health and well-being. It may improve nutritional intake and boost energy levels. However, it is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Limit daily intake between 25mg to 50mg, which would be about the size of a rice grain, once or twice per day. The best time to take it is in the morning, on an empty stomach dissolved in water. However. children may not like the natural taste of shilajit so it is best added to a glass of milk or chocolate drink.

It is best taken first thing in the morning on an empty stomach diluted in water. Add it to your favorite morning drink. Taste of shilajit in coffee is completely concealed. If you consume shilajit in a tea, depending on the amount of the resin it starts tasting somewhat earthy.
  9. Are there any side effects of shilajit? By itself, supplementing with shilajit should not cause any side effects, if shilajit is genuine and from a reputable source. However, there are at least three reasons why side effects may occur:
  • Due to impurities. Raw shilajit mixes with microorganisms, heavy metals, sand, and other impurities. If it is not properly purified, it is unsafe for human consumption.
  • Fake shilajit spiked with different compounds to make it appear authentic. Tablets, pills, powders and liquids as a rule contain cheap excipients. These dangerous additives are usually soil or rocks extracted or simply pulverized. It is better to reject any questionable shilajit no matter how cheap it is, or how convincing and attractive the marketing is.
