What is Shilajit?
Shilajit is a black, tar-like substance found in high-altitude, mountainous regions. Shilajit has over 80 essential minerals and high levels of fulvic and humic acids, which increase nutrient absorption and support cognition and vitality.
Shilajit is so effective for stress and anxiety relief because of its impact on brain chemistry and energy production. By balancing neurotransmitter levels and reducing oxidative stress, Shilajit helps create a more relaxed mental state while boosting cognitive function.
How Shilajit Helps Reduce Stress & Anxiety
Regulates Cortisol Levels
High levels of cortisol—the stress hormone—can cause hypertension, diabetes, muscle weakness, and osteoporosis. Shilajit can lower cortisol levels, which in turn reduces overall stress response. By modulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, Shilajit helps regulate stress hormones, promoting a sense of calm and reducing the risk of anxiety disorders.
Boosts Mitochondrial Function
Shilajit plays a key role in improving mitochondrial bioenergetics—the process by which cells produce energy. This is beneficial for those suffering from chronic fatigue or stress-related exhaustion. A study conducted on rats demonstrated that Shilajit improves mitochondrial function—increasing energy levels and reducing the symptoms of chronic fatigue.
Supports Neurotransmitter Balance
Shilajit influences key neurotransmitters—particularly dopamine—which is responsible for feelings of pleasure and motivation. By boosting dopamine levels, it can improve mood and ease symptoms of depression and anxiety. Additionally, it can increase the production of GABA, a neurotransmitter that helps calm the nervous system—further aiding in stress reduction.
Antioxidant & Anti-Inflammatory Properties
Shilajit’s high fulvic acid content gives it strong antioxidant properties that combat oxidative stress, a known contributor to cognitive decline. By reducing oxidative damage and brain inflammation, it supports mental clarity and long-term brain health.
Shilajit for Mental Health: Extra Benefits
Improves Cognitive Function
Shilajit has been used for centuries to boost memory and concentration. Studies suggest that Shilajit’s fulvic acid content helps improve cognitive function by nourishing brain cells and enhancing nutrient absorption. Our Shilajit gummies—sweetened with organic Manuka honey—are a convenient and delicious way to boost brain health and manage stress.
Better Sleep & Reduced Fatigue
Shilajit promotes relaxation and improves energy production, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep. Shilajit’s adaptogenic properties can improve stress resilience.
How to Use Shilajit for Stress & Anxiety
Dosage Recommendations
For most individuals, 300 to 500 mg of purified Shilajit per day is effective for managing stress and anxiety. Our Himalayan Shilajit resin, gummies, and drops are highly potent, so a small amount goes a long way. Here’s how to use each form:
Resin: Dissolve a lentil-sized amount (0.15 g) of our resin in warm water, milk, or tea. Consume 1-3 times daily for the best results and don’t exceed 0.6 g in a day.
Gummies: Take 1-2 of our Shilajit Gummies daily, 5-6 days a week. The dose ensures you receive a consistent amount of Shilajit with each gummy.
Liquid Drops: Add 1-3 drops to water or your favorite beverage up to 3 times daily. Do not take more than 9 drops a day.
When to Take Shilajit
Shilajit can be taken in the morning on an empty stomach to improve energy levels and mental clarity throughout the day. Alternatively, take it in the afternoon to reduce midday stress. Mixing Shilajit with warm water or milk boosts absorption.
