What is shilajit?
Shilajit is a tar-like resin from Himalayan rocks, rich in fulvic acid and minerals. Ayurveda uses it as a rasayana for energy and men's vitality. Small modern studies are promising, but raw or poorly purified shilajit can contain heavy metals, so lab-tested products matter.
Forms. Purified resin, capsules and tablets. Ask the brand for a heavy-metal test report.
