Shilajit 250

SD Pharmaceuticals' Shilajit 250 delivers 250 milligrams of a highly purified form of shilajit called Primavie, which is derived from layers of rocks in the pristine Himalayan mountains. This patent-protected compound is standardized to deliver 50% fulvic acid, the key compound responsible for its testosterone-boosting and health-promoting properties. Shilajit has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine as an energizing rejuvenator and to support male reproductive health. Shilajit is a herbo-mineral compound that is exuded from layers of rocks in the Himalayan mountain range at high altitudes during peak summer months. Shilajit consists of rock humus, minerals and organic substances that have been compressed by layers of rock mixed with marine organisms and microbial metabolites. This sediment is rich in more than 85 different compounds, including antioxidants, peptides, lipids and carrier molecules, allowing shilajit to have a range of powerful properties! Shilajit's most active compounds are fulvic acid and dibenzo-?-pyrones (DBPs). Shilajit's active compounds fulvic acids and DBPs are responsible for providing its energizing and testosterone-boosting properties. The fulvic acids work as potent antioxidants, providing the mitochondria the powerhouse of the cells with protection against oxidation, while also increasing activity of other antioxidants in the body. Fulvic acids also work by acting as a shuttle, increasing the availability of electrons to the electron transport chain. The mitochondria's main role in the body is to generate ATP through the process of the electron transport chain at the mitochondrial matrix. DBPs augment one of the main complexes in the electron transport chain, CoQ10, keeping it in its active form and allowing for faster and greater production of electrons, leading to greater production of ATP. Shilajit is also considered an adaptogen because it can combat the effects of physical and environmental stress and help the body be more resistant to fatigue. The adaptogenic properties of shilajit are another mechanism that helps support natural testosterone production and healthy cortisol levels. Shilajit has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for men's health, but most recently, several clinical studies have been conducted on the patented Primavie shilajit to demonstrate its support for testosterone and hormonal health.
