Shilajit Extract Fulvic Acid

Shilajit extract is one of the important Chinese medicinal materials. It is derived from weathered coal or lignite on high mountains. It is the most natural and high-quality source of humic acid. Before processing, it is similar to an asphalt substance, a dark red sticky substance composed of a compact and large amount of herbs and organic matter. The name of Shilajit's plant is Asphaltum (asphalt). Shilajit is a thick and brown rock exudate, mainly found in rock crevices of 1000-5000 meters in the Himalayas and Karakoram. The locals call it Mineral Wax. It was formed millions of years ago through the gradual decomposition of plant residues (including white clover) under the action of microorganisms. After removing impurities, shilajit is a brown-black paste with a shiny surface and a slight taste of cow urine and chocolate bitterness. The dry density is 1.1-1.8g/cm3; it solidifies below 20°C and softens when heated; it is easily soluble in water without leaving any residue. It is said to contain more than 85 kinds of ions and contains many vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. Shilajit is mainly composed of humic acid, fulvic acid, dibenzo-alpha-pyrone, proteins and more than 80 minerals, and has a variety of chemical compositions. Humic substances, including fulvic acid, are decomposition products and are the main bioactive compounds found in shilajit, accounting for approximately 60%-80% of the total composition of shilajit. Fulvic acid is a small molecule that is easily absorbed in the intestines. The content of fulvic acid in Shilajit extract is usually between 5% and 60%, and it is one of the main active ingredients of Shilajit extract. Additionally, dibenzo-alpha-pyrones, also known as DAP or DBP, are organic compounds that also provide antioxidant activity. Other molecules present in shilajit include fatty acids, triterpenes, sterols, amino acids, and polyphenols, with variations observed depending on the region of origin.
