Organic Shilajit Powder Extract -100g
It is used to treat general weakness by boosting your energy level. It is also known to boost strength and stamina by acting as a health tonic. It also helps in the recovery post an illness by aiding in the treatment of wear and tear of body tissues. It increases strength, vigour, vitality, and memory grasping power. The capsule improves the overall constitution and wellness of the bodyMLShilajit discoveredThe steep rocks of the Himalayan tundra's, warmed by ages of bright sunshine and mated with successive generations of grass, moss and wildflower, exude a dark sticky substance rich with medicinal power. This substance was discovered by the ancient rishis thousands of years ago and adopted by Ayurveda for its restorative properties. They named it Shilajatu or Shilajit.“There is hardly any curable disease which cannot be controlled or cured with the aid of Shilajit.”Charaka, 1st Century ADIn the hands of the ancient physicians…The ancient. Ayurvedic physicians used Shilajit to treat, among other things, chronic bronchitis, digestive trouble, renal and bladder problems, nervous diseases, diabetes, anemia and fractured bones. They used it for increased vigour and vitality, as antiseptic and anti - inflammatory. The Unani physicians used it too, as an antidote to poison and in the treatment of various problems including arthritis and inflammation.Tested by time and scienceThe medicinal and therapeutic properties of Shilajit - arising from its organic compounds and minerals - have stood the test of time. The composition of Shilajit is no longer a mystery, and its clinical use around the world has validated many century - old beliefs in Shilajit.What does Shilajit contain?Shilajit is a complex but completely natural mixture of minerals with organic and inorganic compounds. It contains aluminium, antimony, calcium, cobalt, copper, iron, lithium, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, phosphorus, silica, sodium, strontium, zinc, fatty acids, hippuric acid, benzoic acid, fulvic acid, chebulic acid, tannic acid, resin and waxy matter, gums, albuminoids ad glycosides.Several of these components occur rarely in natural form. In fact, some are not known to exist in any natural substance other then Shilajit.Health through harmonyShilajit brings about balanced and harmonious health in all users - men and women, young and old. It acts as a restorative tonic, slowing down wear and tear of body tissues, which in turn delays ageing, Empirical evidence is constantly emerging of its effectiveness against anemia, liver dysfunction and muscular atrophy. Studies on the effects of Shilajit yield interesting results:Regains lost vital force of body cellsA body regulatorBenzoic acid in Shilajit is antiseptic/anti - inflammatory.Shilajit is often used as a primary ingredient in male wellness supplements to cure sexual dysfunction. Although this traditional use of shilajit is often dismissed by many, the practice is now supported by study findings. Research shows that shilajit supplementation can help to raise testosterone levels, making it an effective treatment for men who suffer from low libido, fatigue, and reduced muscle mass because of low testosterone levels. While shilajit's effect of raising testosterone levels can help improve sexual health in men, it doesn't directly affect fertility. However, there is evidence for shilajit as a natural and safe male infertility treatment. A study conducted on infertile men found that daily supplementation twice a day for 3 months led to an increase in sperm count among 60 percent of men in the group. 12 percent of the participants also saw increase in sperm motility, which again affects fertility. Degenerative brain disorders like Alzheimer's are one of the greatest threats to come with aging. In many of us, this process begins earlier in life, making it important to take steps to protect brain health as soon as possible. Shilajit is not classified as an adaptogenic supplement, but studies show that its molecular composition may help to delay or even prevent the disease progression. This is because fulvic acid boosts cognitive health by restricting tau protein accumulation, which is vital but known to trigger brain cell damage as it builds up. Key FeaturesIncreases Stamina and Energy LevelCleanse, Detox and Remove Toxins85+ Minerals, 7% Fulvic Acid, 10% Humic Acid Increase Male fertility and testosteroneAnemia ReliefPromotes Brain HealthTestosterone Boost

Another unique fact about flaxseeds is that they are the No. 1 source of lignans in the human diets; flaxseed contain about seven times as many lignans as the closest runner-up, sesame seeds. One of the most extraordinary benefits of flaxseed is that flax contains high levels of mucilage gum content, a gel-forming fiber that is water-soluble and therefore moves through the gastrointestinal tract undigested. Once eaten, mucilage from flaxseeds can keep food in the stomach from emptying too quickly into the small intestine, which can increase nutrient absorption and make you feel fuller.

Flaxseeds are a great source of dietary fiber; minerals like manganese, thiamine and magnesium; and plant-based protein. Flax is one of the richest sources of plant-based Omega-3 fatty , called alpha-linolenic acid (or ALA), in the world. Grinding flax helps you absorb both types of fiber it contains, along you to take advantage of even more of the benefits of flaxseed. Another unique fact about flaxseeds is that they are the No. 1 source of lignans in the human diets; flaxseed contain about seven times as many lignans as the closest runner-up, sesame seeds. One of the most extraordinary benefits of flaxseed is that flax contains high levels of mucilage gum content, a gel-forming fiber that is water-soluble and therefore moves through the gastrointestinal tract undigested. Once eaten, mucilage from flaxseeds can keep food in the stomach from emptying too quickly into the small intestine, which can increase nutrient absorption and make you feel fuller.

As iron is the main component in hemoglobin and a lack of iron in the body can cause anemia, copper is essential to keeping anemia and other related conditions at bay. It ensures that the body's circulation is working at its optimum and all organs receiveoptimum amounts of oxygen.Improves Bone HealthSesame seeds contain an impressive amount of essential minerals such as phosphorous, zinc, and calcium.

The fatty acids in sesame seeds, when broken down and released in the mouth through chewing, can have impressive astringent and antibacterial effects. One of the most common bacteria that can negatively impact oral health is known as streptococcus. Consuming sesame seeds has been directly associated with reducing the presence of that bacteria in the mouth.Uses of Sesame SeedThe sesame seed is so versatile that its presence is prominent in culinary experiences across the globe, right from the United States to Japan on the far side of the world. They have a mild, nutty flavor and are used to add taste and texture in many recipes. They can be consumed raw, but the wider application is to roast it and add it as garnishing.More often than not, they are used in salads and as toppings on bread. However, there are many seafood recipes, especially in Southeast Asian cooking, where the sesame seed is used prominently.Side-Effects & Allergies of Sesame SeedLike everything else, sesame seeds should also be consumed in moderation. Excessive consumption can cause bowel and colon irritation, which is in fact the opposite of what sesame seeds are ideally supposed to do for the human body. Further, due to the presence of THC, they can also show up in drug tests. However, this too is dependent on the amount that is consumed. Moderate consumption can prevent both these things from happening.Cultivation of Sesame SeedSesame plants were originally grown in India and some parts of Africa, where their seeds were primarily used for extracting oil. This oil was then used in cooking, and is still one of the healthiest oil variants in the world. Archaeological evidence shows that sesame seeds were a traded commodity between the Indian sub-continent and Mesopotamia even as far back in history as 2000 BC.Key FeaturesFacilitates DigestionBoosts Metabolic FunctionKeeps the Heart HealthyManages and Controls the Effect of DiabetesReduces InflammationImproves Bone HealthReduces HypertensionPrevents CancerProtection from RadiationFacilitates Hair and Skin CareImproves Oral Health
