Product Use |
The collection of Shilajit is a manual and labor-intensive process. Local villagers and collectors trek up the mountains and search for these cracks in the rocks, which are usually found at high altitudes of 3,000 to 5,000 meters above sea level. Once the Shilajit is found, it is carefully extracted and collected using traditional methods, such as scraping and chiseling. The extraction process can take days and even weeks to collect a significant amount of Shilajit.
After the Shilajit is collected, it is then carefully purified to remove any impurities, such as dirt and rocks, and to concentrate its potency. This is usually done using a traditional filtration process, which involves pouring the Shilajit through a porous cloth. The filtered Shilajit is then left to dry naturally in the sun, which can take several weeks. This process helps to preserve the natural enzymes and minerals present in the Shilajit.
