Learn More About Sunpure Shilajit
According to Ayurveda, shilajit is a “medha rasayana” (enhancer of memory and learning) and is classified as 'Yogavāha' – an agent that enhances the properties of other medicines.
Benefits of Himalayan Shilajit
Good for gut health
Shilajit is rich in fulvic acid, which has been found to have prebiotic properties that can support the growth and activity of beneficial gut bacteria, which promotes a healthy gut microbiome. Shilajit also increases the carbohydrate/protein ratio and decreases the gastric ulcer index, indicating an increased mucus barrier. Shilajit’s purifying properties suppress the growth of opportunistic bacteria such as Helicobacter pylori, and stop constipation, and flatulence, keeping the colon healthy.
The Fulvic Acid found in Shilajit reduces the stomach acid and pepsin secretion in the stomach, which lowers the risk of ulcers. The Benzoic Acid in Shilajit may also have antibacterial properties, as it can help with Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth and Gut infections in general.
Detoxification
Our Sundried Shilajit is packed full of Fulvic acid, that is able to remove toxins from the body by binding to them and eliminating them. Toxins such as pesticides and heavy metals etc.
The Fulvic acid in our shilajit will aid in removing toxins you've accumulated over the years. Shilajit’s bioactive compounds are a natural detoxifying agent for getting rid of heavy metals.
It significantly helps to catalyse the functions of herbs to absorb their advantageous properties, amplifying their benefits and bioavailability. As well as absorbing nutrients from the foods you eat.
Shilajit’s oxygen radical absorbance capacity is substantially higher than blueberries, because of its significantly high Trolox Equivalent Antioxidant Capacity (Powerful antioxidant Phyto complex property).
Fulvic acid acts as a carrier molecule in the body, helping to transport nutrients into the deep tissues, remove deep-seated toxins, and have systemic effects as a complement activator.
Shilajit increases the levels of the chief antioxidant glutathione. Shilajit has the ability as well to block death pathways in cells (such as p53, Bax, and caspase 3). These factors stabilize cells and increase their antioxidant capacity.
Brain and mental clarity
Because Shilajit is comprised of 89% Fulvic Acid, it has the potential as an Anti-Alzheimer’s disease molecule. Acetylcholine is the chief neurotransmitter of the parasympathetic nervous system. It is responsible for maintaining healthy brain function, as well as memory and cognitive longevity. The brain has high fatty acid content and high oxygen demand, thus it is susceptible to oxidative damage. Shilajit reduces the enzymes that break down and metabolise acetylcholine, which consequently increases acetylcholine levels in the brain.
Shilajit facilitates parasympathetic activity and decreases fight-or-flight sympathetic stress - which results in massive degeneration when excess. The parasympathetic activity becomes evident upon using Shilajit resulting in lower blood pressure, heart and breath rates, and efficient digestion.
Oxidative stress and aging cause tau “Tubulin binding” protein buildup within the brain cells - a protein that helps form internal scaffolding, providing shape to neurons. When Tau protein builds up, it forms twisted clusters of dead and dying nerve cells known as neurofibrillary tangles, leading to inflammation, tissue damage and cognitive decline. Fulvic acid inhibits the tau protein buildup and self-aggregation by stopping the final fibril formation process (tau protein’s exposure to acid triggers a significant decrease in tau protein interactions.). Fulvic acid reduces the size of proteins and detangles them, proving a significant potential to combat neurological degeneration. Combining Shilajit with Vitamin B can lessen cognitive declines like confusion and memory loss. Shilajit enhances blood-brain barrier wellbeing, keeping its ability to detox and drain toxins via brain lymphatic channels.
Shilajit contains high levels of fatty alcohols and polyunsaturated fatty acids, which promote dopaminergic neuron regeneration when taken together. It also increases positive outcomes for neurologic symptoms by decreasing brain oedema, disrupting the blood-brain barrier and reducing intracranial pressure. Shilajit provides neuroprotective effects by promoting an increase in blood flow and restoring neurological behaviours after the early hours of brain trauma.
The Shilajit’s molecular composition can prevent or slow the progression of memory loss.
Shilajit supports the actions of coenzyme Q-10 (CoQ10) - a compound made by your body and stored in the mitochondria of your cells. CoQ10 improves mitochondrial function and helps decrease the inflammation that may occur during migraines.
Improve stamina and energy
Shilajit supports energy production without being a stimulant. It boosts athletic performance and mitochondrial function by preventing the dropping of ATP levels after exhausting exercises. Accelerated mitochondrial function improves cell functions, advances energy levels and kills fatigability naturally.
Shilajit can also restore the dysregulation of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal axis - which response to long-term stress in the body. It reduces tiredness and anxiety whilst preventing excessive drops in cortisol levels and adrenal weight.
Improve metabolism
Shilajit strengthens nutrient transportation into deep tissues and elevates energy levels. It also has hypoglycemia (glucose-lowering) properties, wherein it improves insulin sensitivity and regulates blood sugar levels. Shilajit increases insulin production from the pancreas and reduces the conversion of starch to glucose. stimulates the breakdown of fats and reduces the fat cell and triglycerides buildup that potentially leads further to obesity or Type 2 Diabetes. In addition, Shilajit protects the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas from destruction.
Better skin & rejuvenation
The Fulvic acid in Shilajit acts as a strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, protecting the body from free radicals and cellular damage. It increases energy production in skin cells, promotes antioxidant protection against UV rays, and decreases the clarity of wrinkles. Regular intake of Shilajit promotes overall great health, a slower aging process and longevity.
Help with heart health and blood sufficiency
Shilajit supports the actions of coenzyme Q-10 (CoQ10) - a compound made by your body and stored in the mitochondria of your cells. It helps on managing high blood pressure and enhances heart health. Hence, it relieves palpitations and arrhythmic symptoms (abnormal heart rhythms). CoQ10 production decreases as we age and Shilajit supplementation will aid significantly.
The Humic Acid found in Shilajit may lower total blood cholesterol levels and total fats while boosting the good High-Density Lipoprotein cholesterol. Shilajit has a rich amount of iron that counteracts iron deficiency anemia. The Fulvic Acid helps the bone marrow cells to amplify iron absorption, helping the red blood cells to capture a higher volume of oxygen, utilising it efficiently to cope better in low oxygen conditions - mountain sickness and extremely high altitudes.
Consider seeing a specialist if you have an irregular heartbeat or other heart-related problems prior to supplementation of Shilajit.
Boost testosterone and fertility
Shilajit improves sex hormone (testosterone) production in men. It reverses age-related decline in sperm quality, activity and concentration by increasing antioxidant protection.
Shilajit balances female sex hormones (estrogen and progesterone) which aid in regulating the period cycle and reduce menstrual cramps from its anti-inflammatory properties that relax the muscles. It also reinforces female fertility by developing healthier eggs and stimulating ovarian response, as it alters the oxidative damage that occurs over time.
Potential tumor preventor
Sundried Shilajit has the potential to be toxic to cancer stems from its rich concentration of fulvic acid, a compound that has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. These helps prevent cancer from forming or spreading. Furthermore, studies have shown that Shilajit contains bioactive compounds that can induce programmed cell death (apoptosis) in cancer cells and inhibit their growth. Hence, Shilajit potentially reduces the levels of numerous inflammatory substances, turns off cell death pathways, and increases the survival of healthy cells.
While further research is needed, the potential of shilajit in cancer prevention and treatment is promising. It's important to note that shilajit should be used in conjunction with conventional cancer treatments under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
Antiviral properties
Shilajit has a wide range of compounds and minerals that fights off and kills viruses, improving the immune system's performance. Humic Acid, the major component of Shilajit is endowed with antiviral activity. Shilajit is low cytotoxicity and has favourable selectivity index. It is an antiseptic and germicide in traditional medicine.
The antiviral activity of Shilajit depends on its capacity to prevent the attachment of viruses to the cell surface. Time-of-addition and virucidal assays indicate that the inhibitory effect mainly depends on the capacity of Shilajit to interact with the virus particles, rather than with cell components, thereby preventing virus attachment to the cell surface.
Upon consumption of Shilajit before, during and after infection, it has the strongest inhibition occurrence compared to when taken only after infection. Besides having Shilajit preventing initial viral infection, it can also limit ongoing infection.
Overcome Substance Addiction
Eastern Medicine has advised for centuries to use Shilajit for breaking addiction. Shilajit reduces the symptoms of withdrawal from opioids and alcohol while helping to curb addictive behaviour. Shilajit's active components, particularly fulvic acid and dibenzo-alpha-pyrones, have been found to have anxiolytic and anti-depressant properties that can help reduce anxiety and depression symptoms that may trigger substance abuse. It acts by altering dopamine levels in the limbic system (cortico-hippocampal), a brain region that controls emotions.
Additionally, shilajit's ability to boost energy, improve mood, and enhance cognitive function can help individuals overcome withdrawal symptoms and regain a sense of well-being. Furthermore, shilajit's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties may help protect against brain damage caused by drug use.
While more research is needed, shilajit shows promise as a natural supplement to support addiction recovery. However, it should be used in conjunction with professional addiction treatment and under the guidance of a healthcare provider.
Traditional uses
Genitourinary disorders, jaundice, digestive disorders, enlarged spleen, epilepsy, nervous disorders, chronic bronchitis, and anemia. Kidney stones, edema, and hemorrhoids, as an internal antiseptic, and to reduce anorexia.
What is Sundried Shilajit?
Shilajit, found in the Himalayan and Altai mountains, is a dense, tar-like resin formed from the slow decomposition of plant material. Sundrying, the natural process of drying shilajit in the sun, preserves its composition.
Sundrying involves allowing the shilajit to dry naturally in the sun to produce a soft resin. This method is the most natural and traditional process to avoid altering the composition of the shilajit.
Why Do We Sundry Our Shilajit?
Unlike other brands that use fire drying, which alters the chemical structure and reduces benefits, our sun-drying method maintains shilajit's natural properties.
Why Should I Take Shilajit?
In modern times, food production has become more industrialised, resulting in a decrease in the quality of our food. Unfortunately, this also means that essential minerals in our diet have become scarce. Shilajit is a natural substance found in the Himalayan mountains. Incorporating Shilajit into one's daily routine may provide a way for individuals to supplement their mineral intake from dietary sources.
