Traditionally, energy boosting shilajit is consumed by people in Nepal and northern India, with children often taking it with milk during breakfast. The Sherpas, known for their strength and healthy longevity, include shilajit as part of their regular diet
Whilst opinions vary, the general consensus is that Shilajit is formed over centuries by the gradual decomposition of certain plants through the action of microorganisms & during the hot summer months, raw Shilajit, in the form of a smooth, dark gum, is excreted from steep, mountainous Himalayan rock crevices
Our raw Shilajit is harvested directly from the Himalayan Ranges of the Kashmir Valley

We advise taking before breakfast on an empty stomach & at least thirty minutes before eating

- Take on an empty stomach & at least thirty minutes before eating: drop one pea sized serving (approx. 500mg) into a cup of warm water, milk, tea or coffee & stir until fully dissolved. Adding a teaspoon of honey will improve taste & may contribute to quicker absorption
The dosage depends on several factors, including body type, overall strength, general health and age so if unsure reduce to 250mg, gradually increasing as needed
In a cool or refrigerated dry place out of direct sunlight and away from strong odours
Shilajit should only be taken after consulting your doctor or health care professional.
