Shilajit or salajeet is natural organic-mineral product of predominantly natural biological origin, formed in the mountains (in mountain crevices and caves). Shilajit is a sticky, tar-like substance found in the rocks of the Himalayas, Altai, Caucasus, and other mountain ranges. Shilajit is not derived from a plant, instead, it is a complex organic-mineral substance that oozes out of the rocks in mountainous regions. The formation of Shilajit is a result of the decomposition of plant and microbial matter over centuries. Shilagit has been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for centuries and is believed to have various health benefits. It is often consumed as a dietary supplement and is rich in minerals, and other organic compounds.
