Authentic Shilajit – 100% Pure Gold Grade Himalayan Shilajit Resin with Fulvic Acid & Trace Minerals | Supports Healthy Energy, Stamina & Strength | Lotus Blooming Herbs | 10 Grams

***Note... Quick update: I still take this when I feel a bit 'dodgy' along with other natural supplements, but I have moved on to other products (not available on Amazon). There is no negative reason for this, but I found some products that give me better results overall for immune support and energy. I still highly recommend giving this a try! This is going to be a long review - I'll break it up in sections so anyone who reads it can skip the parts that aren't relevant to them. **Tried 3 different brands** I started taking this in mid-October 2014. I'm addicted to this and for good reason. First let me say that I have also tried PurBlack brand and one on Etsy that was very cheap. All 3 smelled the same, had the same taste, and had the same daily results for me. I had all 3 at the same time and rotated them throughout the week to see if I could tell a difference. I couldn't. I won't buy the cheap version again, as I'm worried about why it's so cheap (I'm paranoid). I prefer the one from Lotus Herbs because of the consistency. It's easier to handle. I can get a small amount out, roll it in a ball and swallow it like a pill. With PurBlack, I have to dissolve it in water; consistency is a bit different, gooier. It's not a big deal, but it takes 10-15 minutes and I'm usually in a hurry. I take it on am empty stomach in the morning, with other supplements (right now, fermented cod liver oil/butter oil blend, MegaFoods multi, and a couple times a week I add triphala and turmeric). **Initial reaction when taken** I am a highly sensitive person - that means that heat, coffee, medicine, supplements, and food seem to have a greater impact (usually negative) on me than others. That is important to know, because when I shared some of the supplement with 4 other people, no one else had my same reaction. They had a small reaction of overall feeling better, but nothing like I experienced. I started with PurBlack and my initial response as rather euphoric - it was seriously so magical that even though it tasted and smelled terrible I was drawn to it and wanted more all day long (I limited myself to 1-2 servings). I couldn't believe how amazing I felt right after I took it. I had energy boost, and I just felt alive and amazing. **Background** A bit of background (feel free to skip); I work about 60 hours a week, working on my doctoral degree, I have twin preschoolers, and far too many interests and hobbies - I am one of those people who loves doing things; I rarely sit down to relax, no time for TV watching, etc. But I have been struggling to keep up with myself for the last 5 years. I never fully 'recovered' from having twins in 2011 - I've been exhausted ever since I was first pregnant and I knew my mineral levels were likely very low as I had a very rough pregnancy. I also had a very poor diet (lots of sugar and fast food) until the twins were born. Afterwards, I learned about proper nutrition, which changed my life (and my family's), but I still needed something to help. I entered the world of natural supplements and homeopathy around 2012. I love to experiment. I have explored so many different supplements, remedies, Paleo, whole foods, juicing, smoothies, etc. It's all wonderful, and eating as many veggies as possible really helped me feel so much better, but I still didn't feel 100%. **What it has done for me** Besides giving me the energy boost that I really needed (w/no crash), it has helped with my blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia), psoriasis, boost in my mood, boost in my immune system in a huge way, I have better focus, clarity, and feel 'alive' or 'whole' - I'm not quite sure how to explain that last part. I feel like I'm functioning at 100% or at least near it on my bad days. I have struggled with hypoglycemia ever since I can remember. I've never been treated for it, but try to manage it on my own. I am sensitive to sugar, so when I don't eat well, my mood suffers (I turn into a grouchy monster), I get tired/crash, and feel weak/shaky. It happens if I have too much coffee (usually more than 1 cup) or anything that is a stimulant. If I don't eat very well (mostly organic produce, with some grass-fed/pastured meats) I suffer with signs of hypoglycemia. If I take shilajit first thing in the morning, I can eat whatever I want and have 2 pots of coffee (terrible, I know) without feeling any bad effects related to hypoglycemia. I have not been eating that well since I started on shilajit, as I like to use the holidays as an excuse to eat whatever I want ;) I have started eating better recently and looking forward to seeing what shilajit will do with a better diet. However, thanks to shilajit, I haven't suffered due to eating poorly (not much produce and too much pizza). The 2nd biggest reason why I can't live without it is the boost it's given my immune system. I was eating well until I got lazy a year ago, and started eating poorly. I ended up getting ill more times in 2014 than I have in nearly my entire adulthood (I'm in my late 30s). Part of that is having 2 young children who go to school who bring home a lot of germs :) I work from home, so I don't have to don't get exposure from work. In 2014, I had the flu 2-3 times, several head colds, I ended up with bronchitis 3 times (never had it prior), etc. Since taking shilajit, the girls have been sick multiple times. If I get sick, I will have maybe one day where I don't feel great (a bit run down), but recover quickly. A couple weeks ago both of my girls were fairly sick, and I woke up one morning with a raw/swollen throat. The next day my throat was better, but I had a very mild cold. It last for one day. The biggest difference is that I still have clarity and focus, unlike in the past where having a cold would really impact that area and make it difficult to work. **Why I can't stop taking it** I tried to stop a couple of times - it's expensive! I don't like being dependent on any type of supplement. I just like to experiment and move on. However, for me, this is the most important supplement I take and I'll take it as long as I can afford it. On the days I tried to stop, I felt jittery from having more than 1 cup of coffee, I had hypoglycemic episodes, I felt 'okay' but not 100%. It's not worth it for me to stop, the negative effects of not taking this are too great for me. **Advice for others** I asked others to try this and some felt a mild effect, but no one thought it was worth the money and they couldn't stand the taste and smell (not that you really taste it as you aren't chewing on it). For me it's a life changer, but none of the other people that tried it are like me - they don't have the same issues that I do. So this may or may not be a 'magical' supplement for you - you will have to be willing to spend the money in order to try it out for yourself. Also, that euphoric-like feeling wore off after 3 months. One day it just stopped. I only had this product (Lotus Herbs) at the time, so I quickly bought PurBlack to see if that would give me the 'feeling' again. It didn't. So I tried to quit altogether, thinking that it no longer was working for me, and got the same aforementioned negative results (sensitivity issues). I know it's still working, but I also know that I may never get that 'magical' feeling again. That was just a bonus effect, so I'm okay with that, though it was wonderful while it lasted. **Bottom line** I cannot live without this supplement, but it's certainly not for everyone. Just like all natural supplements - some are 'magical' and many do nothing, even if 'everyone else' swears by them. You have to find what your body needs and you will know it when you find it.

Recently, Authentic Shilajit Health has been getting more attention as a natural health product that might have a lot of benefits. Shilajit is a blackish-brown rock fluid that comes from rocks in the Himalayas. It is known for having a lot of minerals in it and possibly being good for your health. This article will talk about the different parts of Authentic Shilajit Health and how it might affect your health as a whole. The high mineral level of Authentic Shilajit Health is one of its most important benefits. Minerals that are good for your health, like fulvic acid, iron, calcium, and magnesium, are found in shilajit. These minerals are very important for many body processes, like keeping bones healthy, making energy, and staying healthy overall. Shilajit is a powerful natural supplement for fixing mineral deficits because it contains fulvic acid, which helps the body absorb these minerals better. Authentic Shilajit Health is known for more than just its minerals. It may also help the body adapt. There are natural substances called adaptogens that help the body deal with stress and keep its balance. Shilajit has been used for a long time in Ayurvedic medicine as a stabilizer to help the body handle both mental and physical stress. It can give you more energy and make you feel less tired, which makes it a useful supplement for people who want to control how worry affects their health. Authentic Shilajit Health has also been linked to possible anti-inflammatory and antioxidant qualities. Shilajit may help with its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties because it has fulvic acid and other bioactive substances in it. These qualities are important for fighting reactive stress and inflammation, which are at the root of many long-term health problems. By adding Shilajit to a healthy routine, people may be able to benefit from its ability to protect against oxidative damage and inflammation. In conclusion: Authentic Shilajit Health, did support my overall health in a natural and whole way. Shilajit could be very helpful for health and energy because it has a lot of minerals, can help with adapting to new situations, and might have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. It is important to talk to a doctor before adding Shilajit to your routine, as with any natural vitamin, to make sure it will work with your health needs.

This shilajit is excellent quality and purity. I love the aroma smell and taste of this brand compared to others. Its smells like earth. I'd recommend if you are looking for quality shilajit. The only thing I don't like is the plastic container. Kind of a turn off. However you could always store it in your own glass container after purchasing it. This brand makes great other products!!

As an ayurvedic practioner I was very excited to find this product as quality Shilajit is difficult to come by in India, and limited overseas. While I cannot comment on its effectiveness yet, I can say the smell was very potent and authentic. The reason for my 3 star rating is I felt a bit deceived by the packaging. It appears the product comes in a standard size salve container, but upon delivery the amount received is smaller and housed inside the metal container. Though I know that Shilajit is a potent and scarce medicine, this made the sticker price seem high. I have experience Banyan's Shiljait tablets and looking forward to using Lotus's purified resin as it is closer to the original form. Will check back in with a honest review. 9/30/16 - After a few months of taking the resin Shiljait regularly, (I also used another brand) I can report back that this is incredible medicine! I take a pea sized portion daily with a tsp of LBH Chywanprash (which I also reviewed) and sips of hot water. As an Ayurvedic practioner I found the potency of the resin far superior to taking it in a dried form. As "vata dominant" person, I struggle with consistent energy levels and additionally run very low on iron. As other users have noted the Shiljait has given me very stable consistent energy, even on days when I skip taking it. I have increased my rating by one star however I still think that the sticker price on this is a bit high compared to other options on the market. However I believe the quality to be very good!

I've been using this pure resin sourced from the Himalayas for almost two years now. In that time my life has accelerated into higher levels of well-being, mental clarity, success, more focused meditations and realized universal love. I attribute some of this progress to the use of this fine shilajit. It's high time I take a few moments to share my experience so that others may benefit. In addition to the healthful benefits of all the trace minerals, the fulvic acid aiding cell nutrient absorption, and the adaptogenic quality amplifying the affects of other herbal/natural foods and remedies, my motivation for continued use goes beyond the physical. I notice how this substance helps catalyze vital energy that seems to help form the bridge from the body as the platform for the soul's growth. It is called ojas—the body's fuel for overall radiant well being and spiritual takeoff. In ayervedic circles it is known that that shilajit accelerates the creation of ojas, also cultivated with low stress, deep meditation, control of sexual energy, and other satvic substances like ashwaganda, raw organic almonds, ghee, organic whole milk, etc. I've tried other forms of this product but was always disappointed in the quality and results. I like the consistency and power of this brand. It's being sourced from the ancient Himalayas inspires me, unlike other brands sourced from less remote pristine regions. Excuse me if this sounds too ethereal, but I also seem to resonate with the vibration or subltle energy of this substance, formed from ancient forests eons ago, that others have called "the blood of God." The owner of this company is almost always available for communication, advice and support. It feels good to know the people who work so hard to source this precious nutrient and make it available for us. Go ahead and contact them yourself through their website and find out more for yourself. I tried saving a few dollars with other forms, but was left feeling unsatisfied and cheap. Here you get what you pay for. I will no longer consider ordering another form of shilajit unless someone physically can show me something as good or better.

Great product

I purchased this "Authentic Shilajit", a black tar like substance (there are a lot of fakes and diluted products out there) back in August 2018. It is more expensive on Amazon so I got a better price at the lotusbloomingherbs site. I have been taking it on and off since. I used to have a daily problem taking in deep breaths, sometimes gasping to get oxygen to my body such that my heart was working so hard to help get oxygen to my body that my heart hurt. Shilajit is Fulvic Acid and minerals, I think 45% oxygen-- VOILA-- it delivers oxygen-- I am no medical pro and I don't understand how it works, but it works for my oxygen delivery problem; I have confirmed this again and again over the past months. It takes millions of years to naturally produce Shilajit on high rocky cliffs in the Himalaya's-- how they source it must be a huge undertaking! But who would think this resin would solve an oxygen delivery problem! Shilajit totally controls my problem. I originally purchased Shilajit because I read so many people got energy from it (originally I think moneys were seen eating it and it gave them a lot of energy). I had extreme fatigue-- always after eating I would fall asleep; and I was not functional most of the day. When taking Shilajit with coconut oil (I take 2 Tablespoons melted virgin coconut oil but some prefer sesame oil) plus warm water one or two hours before eating, Shilajit made me functional after eating. At first I took it twice a day-- working from a rice size up to a pea size, then when I was feeling better a few months later, I took a break and then when I became a little immune compromised the deep breathing and fatigue began again, so I started taking Shilajit. Once again I regained my natural breathing, my energy and mental alertness. I think it is astonishing. I don't think Humic acid would be as effective as fulvic acid for me because it does not have as much oxygen in it. I think the medical field should further discover and study this natural wonder. If it can solve other people's oxygen delivery problems like it does for me, as well as provide energy and prevent extreme fatigue, and as well as to increase mental focus, that is a huge, even amazing! I am hooked on it and will continue having it on hand. I read that you shouldn't take Shilajit with tap water that contains Chlorine as it has a bad reaction with Chlorine. But you can take probiotics at the same time as Shilajit. I also take astragalus at the same time, in warm water, as astragalus strengthens the immune system and fights bacteria and viruses. I personally like the taste of Shilajit and dissolve it under my tongue but a lot of people prefer to dissolve it in water due to the strong mineral taste. Nature ROCKS!

I was new to these supplements as heard about Shilajit but never used it. I am giving a detailed review based on my personal experience. I used 3 Shilajits in last 3 months. First one was Banyan Botanicals, 2nd was Lotus and 3 rd was Pur Black. With banyan Botanicals as they did not give any details about the source and the analysis of their Shilait on their website so I became little skeptical. But after strated using Banyan Shilajit, I found a shift in my mood and I bcame more active and jolly in nature. 2nd month I was on Lotus Shilajit. Very thick , horse manure like smell and peculier taste . I felt energetic, and one more thing what I noticed my hair started turning balck ( I have pre mature grey hair ), not all so do not expect miracles but you can see the effect. Them as I was going through other Shilajit reviews and Pur Black got maximum good reviews with a tag that this is the best. Well, I must say Pur black is more gluey, stronger horse manure smell , stronger taste . mixes easily but NO advanagtes over Lotus or Banyan. May be this was the third Shilajit I tried but no distict advantages over other two. May be if Pur Black is your first Shilajit then you can experience more benefits but in my case I will ran this 3rd. My sincere suggestion based upon my experience If you have limited budget try Banyan Botanicals Shilajit as this is a very reputable company. If you can afford, go ahead with Lotus shilajit in stead of Pur Black as Pur Black is little more expensive. I have no medical problems and in goof helath , for me Shilajit worked as mood enhancer , helped in good sleep and in stressful situations I found myself calm. But do not expect miraculous results that you will become superhuman or anything. Yes, these supplements give us all the minerals but good food , regular exercise, meditation and reading good literature are more important. So enjoy Shilajit but more expensive does not mean more potent , this is the lesson. Do your through research before you buy anything.
