What is shilajit?

Sometimes called Himalayan shilajit (depending on the source), it is a resin that develops on rocks at high elevations in the Himalayas and other mountain ranges. This sticky substance forms as native plants nestled among the peaks slowly decompose due to weather and their natural life cycles. Shilajit uses have their root in Ayurvedic healing traditions, an alternative medicine tradition that began centuries ago.

What is shilajit used for?

Shilajit resin contains an assortment of antioxidants present in Himalayan plants. Antioxidants help neutralize highly reactive particles called free radicals that damage body cells. Shilajit supplement benefits for men and women may include supporting energy, brain health, immunity, and overall health and well-being. Learn more about shilajit on the What’s Good blog.
