Boost Energy and Get Mineralized With Shilajit
Diets high in standard grocery store foods, restaurant foods, and fast foods have left millions of people deficient in nutrients. This combined with commercial farming techniques that have led to poor quality soils, has left our communities and families more deficient in minerals than ever before. Even if one is eating all organic and raw foods, it is still possible to become deficient in some nutrients. That is because organic agricultural soils can also lack minerals, unless advanced techniques are used to replenish lost elements.
This is why, at Sunfood, we understand the importance of obtaining an abundance of minerals from nutrient dense foods that grow in mineral-rich environments. One such source is an herb called shilajit. Shilajit has a long history in traditional Indian medicine (Ayurveda), where it is said to be one of the "keys to immortality". Shilajit is also called "asphaltum," or "mineral pitch," and is known to help remedy a wide variety of ailments, boost the immune system and provide the body with much-needed minerals.

What is Shilajit?
Shilajit (SHE-LA-JEET) comes from centuries-old decomposed organic plant material that has been preserved by the intense pressures of high Himalayan rock layers. The soft, heavy shilajit resin oozes out of the Himalayan rocks and is carefully purified. The end result is a rich purple-brown powder containing over 70 plant-based trace minerals plus fulvic acid, which can greatly boost the absorption of nutrients into the body.

Benefits of Shilajit
This mineral-rich herb is filled with fulvic acid, humic acid, and amino acids that can help support bones, muscle, metabolism, stamina, as well as enhance brain function. Shilajit supports the circulatory, reproductive, digestive, and immune systems and can help to suppress pain and act as an anti-inflammatory.
Shilajit can also help manage blood sugar levels and help with memory and cognition. It has been said to help with anemia, arthritis, asthma, bronchitis, edema, depression, mental stress, urinary tract infection (UTI) and other related conditions. The Indians also considered it to possess anti-aging properties and work as an aphrodisiac. Daily use of this wonder-herb can help maintain the body's physical and mental strength, and overall vitality.

The Sunfood Difference
Unlike other lower quality products, Sunfood Shilajit is harvested from high in the Himalayas (above 7,000 feet) where only the highest quality shilajit exists. The therapeutic quality of Shilajit can be identified by certain vital bioactive ingredients that are not found in all Shilajit collected in the Himalayas. Sunfood Shilajit is processed without the use of high heat, fillers or solvents and boasts over 50% fulvic acid content.

How To Use Shilajit
Recommended usage is around 500mg (1/4 tsp) per day. Shilajit can be mixed in water or nut milk. Shilajit has a smoky flavor that can be likened to Lapsang Souchong tea and goes wonderful with dark chocolate (i.e., cacao). A favorite way to use Shilajit here at Sunfood is a new recipe that we call a “Smoky Mocha”.
