THE BEST KEPT SECRET IN HOLISTIC HEALTH
what is it composed of?
It is one of the rarest and most beneficial natural compounds on Earth, packed with nutrients and containing over 85 essential nutrients containing vitamins, minerals, trace elements, carbon 60, amino acids, dibenzo-alpha-pyrones, proteins, humic acid and fulvic acid.
Fulvic acid is the main active ingredient in shilajit. Fulvic acid is the smallest molecule in the humin family and is totally water soluble, meaning it can penetrate every cell in the human body. This allows the body to absorb much more nutrients, stimulating every cell. Fulvic acid is believed to be the building blocks of life, jam packed with natural nutrients. It rapidly accelerates cellular rejuvenation and has the ability to remove toxicity, heavy metals and scavenge for free radicals making it a potent antioxidant.
