Shilajit: a new miracle product or just a trend?

We are talking about it more and more. On the networks, in wellness shops, the Shilajit is presented as a natural treasure with multiple benefits. But what is the real deal between tradition and marketing? At Ginseng, we help you sort it out.

A resin from the mountains

Shilajit is a black resin which flows naturally from the rocks of the high mountains (Himalayas, Altai...). It is formed from plant matter that has been decomposed for centuries, trapped in rock faults. Rich in minerals, fulvic acid and antioxidant compounds, it has long been used in Ayurvedic medicine as a general tonic.

Recognized virtues... when quality is the order of the day

Some recent studies confirm what tradition has been saying for a long time. Here are the effects that are most often observed:

A boost of physical energy

Shilajit is known for improve stamina and reduce chronic fatigue. It supports the functioning of mitochondria (our energy factories), allowing better recovery after exercise and a more stable feeling of vitality on a daily basis.

Natural cognitive support

An action on hormones and male vitality

In humans, shilajit has shown interesting effects on testosterone levels, the sperm motility, and the libido. It is traditionally used as a natural support in case of loss of tone or fertility.

A global antioxidant effect

Shilajit contains numerous minerals, humic acids, and polyphenols that strengthen immunity and protect against oxidative stress, a key factor in premature aging.

And fulvic acid in all of this?

The effectiveness of shilajit is largely based on its fulvic acid, a natural component known for its antioxidant, energetic and detoxifying effects. It also helps to improve absorption of minerals in the organism.

Problem: many products sold online do not specify their Fulvic acid levels, or contain very few.

Beware of low-end products

The real danger is quality. A lot of shilajits on the market are poorly purified, contain heavy metals or are poorly dosed. Some products do not specify their origin or their extraction process, which can lead to ineffective or even dangerous products.

The result: few effects, and sometimes health risks. That is why it is essential to Choosing well its shilajit, by verifying traceability, purification, dosing and manufacturing method.
