i take shilajit specifically because it is a unique combination of nutrients,

acids, and bioavailable minerals that is entirely naturally occurring. i dont mind modern supplements, but i prefer naturally occurring sources.

if you do decide to use it, get it from a reputable source.

there is not an infinite supply, so people will mix things into corn syrup and sell that as shilajit. you can always tell by the smell. real shilajit smells like pinetrees and rocks, and mountains, and asphalt.
