WHAT IS SHILAJIT?
Shilajit is an adaptogen (non-toxic plants that help the body resist stressors of all kinds)
Rich in minerals, as well as fulvic and humic acids, triterpenes and phospholipids, Shilajit is known as “The destroyer of weakness”, which refers to its ability to revitalise. Shilajit is commonly used in ayurvedic medicine. It's an effective and safe supplement that can have a positive effect on your overall health and well-being.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHITE & BLACK SHILAJIT?
The main difference between black shilajit and white shilajit (also called stone oil), is that the stone oil does not contain any organic elements. White shilajit is inorganic in nature — which simply means it doesn’t contain both hydrogen and carbon.
White shilajit is purely non-organic (not derived from or relating to living matter) and contains at least 49 micro elements including gold, silver, platinum, iridium, germanium, etc. in micro mineral state (m-state). Whereas Shilajit contains trace amounts of minerals and is mostly organic matter (degraded plant material), white shilajit is pure mineral, and doesn’t contain organic, living material.
It also contains a large amount of iron, copper, zinc, manganese, selenium, nickel, chromium, vanadium, cobalt and titanium. As well as high levels of sodium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium, manganese and iodine.
You can take both Black & White Shilajit simultaneously, as they actually compliment each other!
HOW DO I TAKE SHILAJIT?
DIRECTIONS:
Take 250-500 mg daily. Always cycle the use of Shilajit. After 4-8 weeks of continued use, take a 2-3 months break.
2-3 months cycling period
There are various opinions on how long you should cycle Shilajit. We advise this just because it gives your body a break, allowing it to function without the “crutch” of Shilajit. It also means your body won’t get too used to the nutrient profile, meaning adaptations and results will be more obvious than if you’re taking constantly.
You could take it every day for months, and a long break may not be necessary. But it’s the best way in our opinion. We’d advise taking at least a month between cycles.
Shilajit is best consumed by stirring into hot water/green tea or black coffee.
How to measure Shilajit:
100 mg = 1 rice grain
500 mg = 1 green pea
