Well, in today’s world, people are slowly but surely focusing on their health more and more. In this endeavor, it is now becoming fashionable to take supplements to enhance one’s health. But in the process of this, do we realize that most of the supplements available today are made from chemical formulations and very few are purely herbal. The chemicals after all will have some negative impact on our health. So, one should try and take in herbal supplements as far as possible.
In herbal supplements, recently I came to know about one very potent natural supplement called Shilajit. I did a lot of research on Shilajit and found out its extensive areas of benefits. Shilajit is beneficial not only for sexual enhancement as it is perceived by majority of the population. It does benefit in improving testosterone levels massively but it also has a very great impact on many other areas of wellness.
I looked at a few scientific articles and papers on Shilajit and found that Shilajit is beneficial in many areas for all humans – whether male or female. It is beneficial for brain, getting strength for weak people, it improves energy levels, reduces body fat, boosts immunity, improves muscle mass, builds stamina as well as it improves digestion. It is immensely beneficial for anyone feeling weak in any area – why? Because understand this. Human body needs 5 major minerals and 72 trace minerals. These are needed as catalysts in performing some action in the body that essentially puts us in balance. Without these minerals (which are like catalysts in chemical reaction), we are unable to synthesize some part of the food or the other or not able to carry out some essential step inside our body which is needed. Our food does not provide us with all these minerals all the time. Now, Shilajit contains 85+ minerals. When we take Shilajit, it essentially fulfills whatever deficiency of minerals we have developed due to our food or lifestyle. This along with other essential components of Shilajit enhances our well-being immensely.
Second thing I did was to check on the various Shilajit products available in market. I was stunned to see the range in prices. Some were as cheap as Rs. 200 for 20g and some went upto Rs. 1,000 for 10g bottle. So, second problem I found was - how do you find and get quality Shilajit? Well, on further research, I found that 95% products out there in market are fake and not even Shilajit. Some scrupulous elements are making so called Shilajit from “Gond” and other vegetables and herbs and mixing flavouring agents in them. These are not Shilajit from any angle. Many others are selling very low quality Shilajit. Taking all these can potentially harm consumers instead of helping them.
So, how do you find quality Shilajit today in market? Well, while doing research I came across a few products and compared them. What I found that most of the Shilajit companies have no way to prove that their Shilajit is original. No one knows where there Shilajit comes from or is manufactured. They have no lab reports. Some have lab reports but they seem to be from dubious labs. Some have pictures of lab reports from NABL certified labs but how do I know if the lab report is real and not made up by them? How do I check if the batch that I am consuming was checked and what was the result?
Then on digging deeper, I found this brand – Jades Naturals. This brand Jades Naturals is sourcing their rocks from higher altitudes of Himalayas and processing these to make Shilajit in manufacturing facilities certified with US FDA, GMP, ISO 9001, ISO 22000 and HACCP. Well one doesn’t get these credentials easily. They also are from exporters who were exporting to Europe and US and have this export quality product. Moreover, they get each batch tested for quality from Eurofins – which is one of the world’s best labs. As per them this is needed for all their export orders and they follow the same international standards for products sold in India also. Now, what’s great about this lab test is that you get a QR code as a sticker on each pack. When you scan, you can check the actual lab report for the batch you are consuming, on your own phone and not only see the contents of the report but also see the authenticity of report, something no one else seems to be providing in India.
All these factors really have made an impact in my mind to try out Jades Naturals Shilajit products. As I last checked, their products are available on their website – www.jadesnaturals.com as well as on www.amazon.in and www.meesho.com.
I think you should give it a try too. They are a little bit expensive than others but I think they have one of the best quality product out there.
