Shilajit has been known much sought-after for centuries in Asia, but the Western world is only just starting to discover it. In its pure form, it is a brownish-black homogenous mass with a smoky aromatic smell and occurs mainly in the Himalayas. After extraction, it is processed for internal use in the form of capsules, tablets, or powder.
Shilajit contains many antioxidant, cell-protecting, and vitalizing components that help stabilize and maintain health. The full-color guide explores how to use Shilajit for a strong immune system, enhanced cognitive performance, protection from toxic stress, and healing inflammation. It looks at Shilajits anti-aging benefits, how it stimulates the immune system, and the protection it can offer for a sensitive stomach and gut.
