Most people are aware of Shilajit, a mineral-rich substance found in the higher Himalayan terrains, and the numerous health benefits it provides. However, there is also an array of myths surrounding this ‘Conqueror of Mountains.’ However, worry not as these get busted, today! Myth 1 – Must Be Consumed Raw: A very common misconception amongst people is that Shilajit must be consumed in its unprocessed, raw form. This is because it is believed to lose its nutritional value if purified. However, the reality is that raw and unprocessed Shilajit can actually be extremely toxic as it is found amidst rocks and has heavy metals like arsenic and lead. This is why purification through the Ayurvedic Shodhana process followed by a lab test, and then a safe-to-consume certification from a renowned institution becomes very critical. Myth 2 – Should Be Avoided During Summers: There are many who have reservations about consuming Shilajit during the summer season due to its hot potency. On the contrary, Shilajit is not just safe to consume during this season, but also highly recommended. Sweating during summer often drains the body of essential electrolytes, causing fatigue and loss of stamina. This is where pure Shilajit comes to the rescue, with its high fulvic acid content that helps improve stamina along with muscle recovery. It also contains 80+ trace minerals that rebalance electrolytes, thus increasing energy levels. One can simply add Shilajit to their preferred chilled beverage, and beat the heat! Myth 3 – Improves Just Performance: Shilajit continues to earn appreciation by people for its performance-improving capabilities. It is important to note though, that it does so much more. Shilajit contains abundant minerals and nutrients that help improve cognitive function, human strength, agility, and endurance. For this very reason, it is encouraged to be consumed as a natural workout supplement as opposed to steroids and protein powders for muscle gain and post-workout recovery. It is thus important to acknowledge the critical role that Shilajit plays in helping with one’s physical and mental well-being. Myth 4 – Benefits Only Men: The focus for consuming Shilajit to reap its benefits has largely been on men. In reality, though, it is highly beneficial to women as well. To begin with, it helps regulate their menstrual cycle by increasing iron levels and curing anemia as a dietary supplement, along with relieving stress and anxiety, thereby improving their reproductive system. It also boosts bone health, hair quality, and energy levels. This is why women should also be encouraged to consume this ‘Destroyer of Weakness’ Kapiva Shilajit sourced from the Himalayan altitudes, 18000 ft above sea level, is available in resin and capsule form.

Shilajit – A black sticky exudate is found in high altitudes of mountainous regions, particularly the Himalayas. It is formed by organic and plant compounds compressed by rock layers and the slow decomposition of plants over centuries. As a result of high temperatures and pressure, these compounds change into shilajit. The Himalayan altitudes thus make for pristine Shilajit sourcing grounds. Let’s understand some health benefits of consuming pure Shilajit: Improves Strength & Stamina Shilajit serves as a natural supplement in order to boost strength, stamina and energy levels. It can be consumed in resin or capsule form to successfully handle moderate to intense workout regimes. Known to increase endurance, pure Shilajit contains high volume i.e. >60% of fulvic acid – a powerful antioxidant, and 80+ micronutrients like iron, zinc, magnesium, potassium and copper. Together, they improve cognitive health, muscle recovery and muscle mass, thus better preparing one for physically challenging tasks. Reduces Stress & Anxiety In this day and age, anxiety and stress are inevitable. However, Shilajit is a renowned natural stress-relieving substance that increases the secretion of a vital brain hormone – dopamine. This induces calmness, improves cognitive function, the ability to focus, and sleep quality. Pure Shilajit is also rich in minerals like potassium and magnesium which helps men and women stay calm & composed. Boosts Performance Shilajit has garnered immense popularity in Ayurveda for improving blood circulation, nourishing reproductive organs, boosting hormones and increasing iron and oxygen concentrations in the blood. Therefore, it plays a key role in improving overall performance/sexual wellness. Helps With Anti-ageing The rich fulvic acid content in pure Himalayan Shilajit makes it an ideal anti-ageing agent. Its regenerative and detoxifying properties cleanse the body of toxins, while also delivering critical nutrients deep into body cells nourishing organs and leaving one with youthful and healthy skin.
