The Sanskrit name of Shilajit means Rock Warrior. Shilajit is a natural source for all minerals required by the body. As per Ayurveda there is hardly any function of the body which is not supported by Shilajit. It has been used historically for nourishment and replenishment of the human body. As per traditional belief, Shilajit provides unique sexual vitality if taken with warm milk. It is a natural support for renewing vitality & physical strength. It helps transport nutrients deep into the tissue & removes deep-seated toxins.

Shilajit is often used in combination with other specific plants to support the respiratory and genitourinary tract, reproductive organs, promotes rejuvenation and detoxification. It supports proper weight management as it helps distribute proper fat in the body. It helps anemia (because it is a good source of trace minerals), arthritis (due to its anti inflammatory property), asthma, bronchitis and edema due to its proper blood circulation property. Shilajit also purifies the blood and helps remove excess kapha (water) and toxins from the tissues. As an aphrodisiac, Shilajit increases virility and stamina while toning the reproductive organs and supporting their proper function.

Related info: Shilajit is obtained from rocks in the towering cliffs of the Himalayan Mountains formed about 50 million years ago. Dense vegetation, literally an entire rain forest, was trapped millions of tons of pressure which slowly turned into a rich Bio-active material to form the rarest nutrient rich substance found on earth known as Shilajit. Shilajit helps an aged person feel young by regaining strength and vitality.

Studies have shown that people of Himalayan region have a more healthy, long & active life due to Shilajit.

A natural original organic colloidal multi-mineral supplement collected in raw form & further purified.

Many companies are claiming that their Shilajit may contains 20% to 50% or more Fulvic acid (which is entirely based on judgments and without any scientific analysis) but in reality purified Shilajit extract does not contain more than 4% to 5% Fulvic acid in natural form.

To get guaranteed 50% Fulvic acid Extraction ratio may go beyond (100:1) which is beyond imagination.

Standard company having in house extraction facility in plant will not make such type of wrong claim. Until addition of Fulvic acid is done from outside source.

So there is difference between in the saying that

Shilajit may contain 20% to 50% Fulvic acid content and Guaranteed % of Fulvic acid

To analyze the same we give the :

Standard Testing method of Fulvic acid in Shilajit:

Reagents and Solvents required:

Methyl Alcohol L.R. Grade

Ethyl Acetate L.R. Grade

Chloroform L.R. Grade

Activated carbon

0.1 N Naoh Solution

2 N HCL

Glass ware required:

Soxhlet apparatus (200 ml. Cap.)

Dish evaporating

Beaker 250 ml

Separating funnel

50 ml Stopped Cylinder.

Procedure: Weigh accurately 10 gm of dry extract powder of raw material (20#) in round bottom flask. Add 50 ml. CHCL3 and reflex for 30 minutes. Discard chloroform layer. Add 50 ml of ethyl acetate to the residue and reflux for 30 minutes and discard the ethyl acetate layer. Add 50 ml. of Methyl alcohol and again reflux for 30 minutes and discard the Methyl alcohol layer. Take residue and dissolve it in 200 ml of 0.1N NaoH and shake thoroughly. Pass Nitrogen gas in this alkali solution for 5 - 6 minutes keep over night. Filter through whatman no. 1 filter paper. Take filtrate and make it acidic upto pH 3 to 3.5 with (2N HCL take). Keep this solution for over night. Add charcoal (3.5 gm charcoal) to this solution and reflux for 1 hour. Filter under vacuum. Take charcoal and dry upto complete removal of water. Suspend in 100 ml of ecetone and shake well. Heat for 15 and filter it in a tared petridish. Evaporate acetone and dry in oven upto constant weight.

Percentage of Fulvic acid (w/w) is calculated as :

Wt. of residue x 100

--------------------- = % of Fulvic acid w/w

Wt. of sample taken

This way we find out only 1Kg of highly potent and 2.5%-4% rich Fulvic acid Shilajit extract from 6Kg of the raw Shilajit powder and the rest is just a waste and is discarded.
