Introduction to Ādisūtrá Śilājīt:


In the heart of the majestic Himalayas, the tallest peaks hold an age-old secret to wellness — Shilajit. This revered, resinous substance, emerging from the ancient rocks of towering peaks, has been celebrated through ages in Ayurvedic medicine for its unparalleled healing properties. Known as "The Conqueror of Mountains and Destroyer of Weakness," Shilajit embodies the strength and endurance of these breathtaking peaks.


Our journey begins with the essence of Shilajit, a substance rich in fulvic acid and over 85 vital minerals, offering a spectrum of health benefits that modern science is only just beginning to understand. From enhancing physical vitality and cognitive functions to fortifying the immune system and promoting longevity, Shilajit benefits are as multifaceted as they are profound.


Scientific Backing and Components:


The exploration of Shilajit's healing prowess is underpinned by an abundance of academic research, illuminating its vast health benefits, chemical composition, and potential applications. Presented below are direct quotations from key studies, highlighting the substance's multifaceted advantages.


Shilajit's Composition and Medicinal Properties:


A study featured in the International Journal of Ayurveda Research, 2010 offers an in-depth analysis of Shilajit's composition and its synergistic effects when combined with other herbs. The researchers observed that: “Shilajit amplifies the benefits of other herbs by enhancing their bioavailability in the body. It contains more than 84 types of minerals, including the main ingredient, fulvic acid, and provides most of the essential minerals to the body...” Moreover, these Ayurvedic professionals highlighted that, “Apart from its blood-purifying property, Shilajit also enhances the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood...” as well as its adaptogenic traits, “Shilajit acts as an anti-stress, anti-anxiety, antiepileptic, and adaptogenic agent...”. Thus, the benefits of Shilajit are not simply confined to one domain, but rather it affects the entire body with a wide range of positive health results.


Cognitive and Health Benefits


The Laboratory of Cellular and Molecular Neurosciences, International Center for Biomedicine (ICC) and the University of Chile, in their 2011 study, highlight Shilajit's historical and cognitive benefits: “Shilajit has been known and used for centuries by Ayurvedic medicine, as a rejuvenator and as an anti-ageing compound...” accentuating its rasayana characteristics and traditional uses, “Other common traditional uses include its action in genitourinary disorders, jaundice, digestive disorders...” What is perhaps more shocking, is that the authors also outlined that Shilajit is not only “a potent and very safe dietary supplement, potentially able to prevent several diseases” but they continued to claim that “its main medical application now appears to come from its actions in benefit of cognition and potentially as a dietary supplement to prevent Alzheimer’s disease.” By helping to promote the healthy function of brain cells and improving memory, Shilajit is more than a treatment for chronic illness such as Alzheimer’s disease; it is a potent elixir that has been shown to potentially prevent its onset in the first place.

Muscular Strength Improvements


Moreover, a study in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, 2019 emphasises Shilajit's impact on muscular strength and endurance: “The present study indicated that consuming 500 mg d−1 of [...] Shilajit for 8 weeks had favourable effects on the retention of maximal muscular strength following a fatiguing task...” suggesting its benefits for physical training and strength gains. Furthermore, the authors highlighted that there is a high probability that “Shilajit in conjunction with resistance training may enhance strength gains as well as increases in muscle mass and body weight due to its effect on circulating testosterone levels.” This remains one of the key reasons in which people worldwide consume Shilajit as part of their health and fitness routine.

Dermatological Benefits


Research from the Indiana University School of Medicine, 2020 explores Shilajit's effects on skin health, particularly noting that, “Shilajit and its active constituents have been reported to possess an array of pharmacological properties including adaptogenic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, anti-diabetic, and neurological properties”. This translates to skin that appears smoother and younger, as consumption of Shilajit actively benefits skin microperfusion.


What is skin microperfusion? In essence, it is the ability for fluids to move around the skin at the cellular level, translating to distribution of nutrients and blood flow. According to the article published by the Indiana University School of Medicine “Skin microcirculation has a major thermoregulatory function, a nutritional role, and implications in cutaneous ageing. A decrease in dermal vascularity is commonly encountered during cutaneous ageing. Compromised circulation in the skin may cause cosmetic defects like unattractive skin tone and discolouration. The aged skin suffers from compromised sympathetic reflex as manifested by inability to vasoconstrict or vasodilate in response to changes in environmental temperature” Finally, the authors concluded their rigorous study with the claim that their “work provides maiden evidence demonstrating that oral shilajit supplementation in adult healthy women induced genes relevant to endothelial cell migration and growth of blood vessels.Shilajit supplementation improved skin microperfusion.”


These extracts from academic research underscore the significant corpus of evidence supporting Shilajit's empirically validated medical applications. From enhancing nutrient bioavailability and improving blood oxygenation to its cognitive and physical benefits, Shilajit stands out as a natural supplement with profound health-promoting properties, validated by cutting-edge scientific investigation.

Preserving Potency: Our Commitment to Ayurvedically Refined Shilajit


In an age where speed often takes precedence over quality, the integrity of traditional practices can be compromised. This is notably true in the production of Shilajit, where modern methods seek to speed up the process, often at the cost of the product's potency and essence. When Shilajit rock is subjected to chemical processing or heated directly with fire or artificial heat sources, a significant portion of its inherent potency is lost. Specifically, once the Shilajit begins to boil in an effort to refine the product more quickly, over 60% of its efficacy can be diminished, undermining the very essence of what makes Shilajit a revered health supplement.


Our approach at Ādisūtrá stands in stark contrast to these modern shortcuts. We uphold the highest level of ancient teachings in our Śilājīt production, a commitment that is both a promise and a practice. Unlike methods that rely on artificial heating, we harness only the natural rays of the sun to dry and purify our Śilājīt resin. This sun-dried method not only adheres to the traditional Ayurvedic processes but also ensures that the full spectrum of our Śilājīt’s potency is preserved.

How to Use Shilajit Resin Safely


Shilajit resin, revered for its purity and potency, is the most natural form of this ancient wellness supplement. To harness the full spectrum of health benefits offered by Shilajit resin, it's essential to use it correctly and safely. Here's how you can incorporate Shilajit resin into your daily routine, following guidelines inspired by your own experience:


Preparing Shilajit Resin


Take a pea-sized amount of Shilajit and add it to a clean cup. The quantity, roughly equivalent to 300-500 mg, is optimal for daily consumption. Mix it with warm water (or milk to enhance its beneficial properties), ensuring the temperature is just warm, neither hot nor cold. Stir well to facilitate the dissolution process, allowing the Shilajit resin to fully integrate into the liquid.


Optimal Timing for Consumption


Shilajit resin can be consumed at any time during the day. However, for best results, it is recommended to take it in the morning. This timing capitalises on Shilajit's energising effects, setting a robust foundation for vitality and wellness throughout the day. Morning consumption ensures that you harness the energy-boosting benefits of Shilajit to their fullest, supporting your daily activities and overall health goals.


Safety Considerations


Incorporating Shilajit resin into your wellness routine offers a bridge to ancient healing wisdom, coupled with the convenience and insights of modern health practices. By following these guidelines, you can safely enjoy the boundless benefits of Shilajit resin, enhancing your journey toward optimal health and vitality.
