Shilajit is one of my favorite complex supplements, but it tastes like a tar. To mask that I added it to probiotic lemonade.
Shilajit is a mineral-rich resin that has long been used in Ayurveda healing. Shilajit contains practically all the elements including fulvic acid / humic acid and trace minerals from the periodic table. It is empowered by antioxidants and rejuvenating properties. Unlike an ordinary mineral supplement, Shilajit supplies you with additional nutrients, the fulvic acid component of Shilajit improves mineral absorption and gives you an overall well-being. Supercharges energy levels and physical strength. Suppresses cravings and accelerates metabolism. Ensures deep, restful, and satisfying sleep. Enhances bone and joint health. Stimulates cellular rejuvenation and detoxification. Boosts libido, testosterone, and fertility. Fortifies heart health, brain function, and memory. Treats conditions like diabetes, altitude sickness, asthma, heart ailments, and digestive and nervous disorders. Stops the abnormal buildup of protein and reduce inflammation, potentially improving Alzheimer’s symptoms. Helps combat oxidative stress and reduce cellular damage caused by free radicals.

Note that in that article, they caution those who have excess iron levels to avoid it. “Shilajit may increase iron levels, as found in animal model studies. Therefore, people with conditions such as hemochromatosis (an excess of iron in the blood) should avoid it until more research in human studies can be completed.”
Dr. Tom Cowan offers the product and his website and states: “Contraindications per the manufacturer: Shilajit is not recommended for people who have been diagnosed with PKU (phenylketonuria). There is a very small trace amount of phenylalanine, an essential amino acid. Products containing phenylalanine are contraindicated in people who have been diagnosed with the genetic disorder PKU (phenylketonuria).
Shilajit-Mumijo should not be mixed with chlorinated water. The fulvic and humic acids in Shilajit, when combined with chlorine, create dangerous chemical byproducts. Beware of other commercially available shilajit extracts and powders that may have been processed with chlorinated water.”
