There is a superfood known in Sanskrit as “the conqueror of mountains and the destroyer of weakness” that can have an immense impact on your health. This food is shilajit—a thick paste that can be found oozing from the cracks of rocks in the Himalayas, India and Afghanistan during the hot seasonal months.

Fulvic acid is the active ingredient in shilajit, an organic material made from decomposed plants that have been compressed by rocks for thousands of years. When taken as a supplement shilajit offers many health benefits…

• Improves sex drive and increases sexual power.
• Helps you predigest many foods, allowing you to easily absorb them.
• Renews vitality and increases energy.
• Aids in healthy digestion.
• Improves cognition.

How does this nutrient work? The fulvic acid and other minerals in shilajit help restore the electrical potency inside your cells, which helps sustain cell life and protects them from disintegration. This healing ability also makes shilajit key when it comes to fighting off diabetes-related symptoms.
