What is shilajit?
Shilajit is a tar-like resin that seeps from rock in high mountain ranges, mainly the Himalaya and Altai. It is a humic material, the concentrated end-product of centuries of plant decomposition, and its two most-studied components are fulvic acid and dibenzo-alpha-pyrones. Human research is early and mostly small, so some claims have real support and many do not. We tell you which is which.
