The ancient Vedic text Rig Veda speaks about a mythical substance called SOMA and states that soma "has mountains and stones for its body" and "dwells within the mountainous rock where it grows." Mountainous rocks are "above of soma," and it is "plucked from between the rocks by mountain dwellers and brought to the priests-alchemists who prepared the elixir of immortality, the secret substance used by alchemist to perfect both body and mind. This sounds like what we know to be SHILAJIT.
“Genuine Lauha Shilajit is an abundant source of energy, mental clarity and powerful healing.”

Taken alone this herb will strengthen the immune system, fortify cells and muscles, and can be used as an anti-oxidant, an anti-stressor, an anti-allergen, and an anti-asthmatic. In the practice of Ayurveda when Shilajit is used with any other Ayurvedic herb it is considered to actually boost the health effects of both.
This Lauha Shilajit extract can be taken in many varying dosages, from 1/8 tsp up to 1/2 tsp a day (for intense usage only) , and is most commonly mixed into water, juice in smoothies and as an Ayurvedic additive to chocolate sauces.
