The Sunfood Difference™ Shilajit's origin lies in the ancient plant material preserved in the dark crevices of the Himalayan Mountains. As the sun warms up the mountain and melts the snow, a soft, heavy resin seeps out and is collected by local farmers. This thick resin is then dried and ground into a fine powder known as shilajit, meaning "rock-invincible" in Sanskrit. It has a natural smoky flavor and is high in iron. Our Shilajit powder is meticulously harvested by hand at high altitudes to ensure the purest product possible. It is then low-temperature dried and tested to be free of pollutants. As a highly potent herb, our Shilajit Extract Powder's general serving requirements are minimal, so a small portion goes a long way.
