Gold and silver have been added to enhance the product’s potency. Gold, for example, is a powerful antioxidant and stimulates collagen production in the skin, which helps to counteract wrinkles. Silver is a disinfectant and speeds up tissue repair, for example in the skin.
Because Shilajit is a food rather than a pharmaceutical medicine, it may take some time for the effects to become noticeable. Most people experience positive effects after 3 to 10 days of daily use. We recommend taking Shilajit daily for at least as long as one pack lasts to experience the maximum effects.
Yes, Shilajit naturally contains small amounts of lead because plants absorb it from the soil. The product complies with EU regulations on heavy metals in food, but we still provide a warning. Lead can be harmful to unborn and young children, as it can negatively affect the development of the nervous system. We therefore advise caution with use during pregnancy and in young children.
Shilajit is considered plant-based because it forms from fermented plant matter and soil. It is a thick, liquid substance, not solid rock or clay. Shilajit emerges from the rocks when it is warm and is absorbed back into the rocks when it cools down.
Yes, Shilajit contains fulvic acid as one of its main components. Fulvic acid is a remarkable component of the humus layer in soil, produced by bacteria. It helps plants absorb minerals and protects them against fungi and bacteria. Dragon Herbs High Mountain Shilajit contains approximately 50% fulvic acid.
Yes, Shilajit can have side effects.
- People with sickle cell anaemia or haemochromatosis (iron overload) should avoid Shilajit because it is rich in iron. People with these conditions are better off avoiding iron supplements.
- In rare cases, an allergy to fulvic acid can occur, so stop taking it if you develop a rash or feel dizzy.
- Pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid Shilajit because there is insufficient research into its safety.
- As Shilajit may lower blood sugar levels, you should stop taking it at least two weeks before surgery and not combine it with medication that affects blood sugar levels.
The best time to take Shilajit is in the morning or before a meal. This helps the body absorb the nutrients and may help support energy levels throughout the day.
Yes, Shilajit is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. It is a natural, mineral-rich substance with no animal ingredients. Make sure the product is certified and free from animal-derived additives.
Shilajit has a strong, bitter, earthy taste. It can take a little getting used to, but you can easily mix it with water, milk or tea to soften the flavour. Shilajit capsules, however, have no noticeable taste and are easy to take.
