What is Shilajit ?
Shilajit is a natural, tar-like substance primarily found in the rocks of the Himalayas, Tibet, and other mountainous regions. It is a result of the decomposition of plant material over centuries, which is compressed and transformed by geological and environmental factors into a mineral-rich resin. It has been used in Ayurvedic and traditional medicine for thousands of years due to its purported health benefits.
