Why You Should Eat This Ancient Black Goo!

Yes, I'm a health nut, and so I'm always on the lookout for exotic foods and herbs that will take my health to the next level. A few years ago, David introduced me to an intriguing black goo called Shilajit and told me jokingly that it was "fossilized bat poo." Even so, I have been using it regularly ever since. And I have to say that despite its barn-like smell and not knowing what ancient materials are truly in there, it works and I love it! shilajit black goo

What is Shilajit?

In fact, Shilajit is considered one of the most prized medicines in the Indian system of Ayurvedic medicine. As such, people have used it for thousands of years for longevity as well as a host of ailments. Ayurvedic Expert, John Douillard explains: “About 50 million years ago, the Indian continent collided into Asia and formed the Himalayan mountain range. As the mountains formed, tropical forests were crushed and compacted between massive boulders. The compressed forests gradually transformed into a nutrient- and mineral-rich biomass loaded with medicinal humic and fulvic acids. Now, every summer as the mountains warm, India’s most prized herbal remedy literally oozes from these biomass resins in the high mountain crevasses.” This amazing substance boasts 85 trace minerals, full-spectrum amino acids, and enzymes, and it is also a fantastic source of phytonutrients! Taking this fossilized concoction regularly replaces the need for most synthetic supplements and gives your body the active nutrients it needs to get the most out of life. In India they call it the "Destroyer of Weakness" and it's one of the best carriers of energy and nutrition through the human body. It’s powerful stuff! Science recently discovered that two components found in abundance in Shilajit, fulvic and humic acids, are the main substances responsible for energy production within the cells! This makes Shilajit a no-brainer for anyone looking to improve their energy levels! Shilajit is able to rejuvenate the body on a cellular level by driving oxygen and nutrients into the cells and supporting the body’s natural antioxidant activity, whereby the body disposes free radicals.

Since ancient times, this substance has been used to help support:

Energy levels
