Shilajit Powder – The Destroyer of Weakness and Conqueror of Mountains*
We’re Proud to Offer Not Only the Highest Quality Shilajit Powder, but a Variety of Different Forms
With a name like that you know it has to be good! But that’s just the beginning…
Shilajit is the #1 rated herb in Ayurvedic Medicine. It is highly regarded as the most powerful anti-aging substance known to the people of India.*
In fact according to legends it is believed to be a nectar of the gods, to be magical or have divine powers.* And it has historical use as a Cure-All.*
It is certainly a powerful adaptogen and Jing substance.* It was even kept Secret by Top Yogis so they could get the benefits themselves.
Shilajit was once plant matter 50 million years ago that is compressed from the mountains and eaten up by microbes resulting in a tar like substance. Another name it has from recent years is “Indian V____”.* It is said that this can help return the sex drive to the levels of youthful teenagers.*

There is hardly any function of the human body that is not supported by Shilajit.*
Shilajit Contains Large Amounts of Fulvic Acid
Fulvic acid is one of the main constituents of shilajit that has some amazing benefits.
- Helps move minerals and other nutrients into the tissues that need them*
- Free radical scavenger [16]*
- Supports the immune system [16]*
- Most powerful natural electrolyte known, balancing our cells [16]*
- Makes Minerals Bioavailable [16]*
Once our food supply had a regular amount of fulvic acids, but over the years it has become virtually non-existent. Our shilajit powder contains 51% fulvic acid.
Shiljit also contains Humic Acids
These are known to give you:
- Increased Energy*
- Decreased Appetite*
- Better Sleep*
- Less Discomfort*
- Stress Reduction*
The humic acids, extracted from shilajit, were shown to help increase the deliverability of an antiepileptic drug significantly. [13]*
Shilajit has also been found to contain fullerenes, also known as C60.[16] These carbon molecules have limited preliminary research showing they may be powerful for anti-aging purposes.*
Shilajit is Tri-Doshic
If you know your dosha you can combine shilajit powder of any type with another substance for best effect.
- Vata – Sesame Oil
- Pitta – Ghee
- Kapha – Honey
Shilajit Powder Details and Dosage
Our shilajit powder is sourced at over 10,000 feet in the Himalayan Mountains in Bhutan. Ours is a combination of gold shilajit (swarna) and copper shilajit (tamra).
Its high quality is assured by the testing for dibenzo-alpha-pyrones. The shilajit rock is combined with the appropriate amount of spring water under a vacuum. It is heated up only to 38 degrees centigrade, the temperature of the body. This is then filtered through cotton cloth to remove dirt. It is cooled down over a long period of time to preserve its crystalline structure.
The recommended minimum daily dosage is 1 gram per day (which is a little more than 1/2 teaspoon). With a 50-gram bag, this will last you 50 days.
The first dose should be taken first thing in the morning and on an empty stomach. Of course, you can take even more. To combat a disease per Ayurveda, in addition to the above you’ll take it 2-3 times per day. Shilajit powder taken with any other food or herbs amplifies their potency so feel free to use it more often and in combination with our other herbs. According to Ayurveda, shilajit is the one thing that can be combined with anything, and it only makes it better.*
It is not recommended to combine shilajit with citrus juices, as this may make aluminum content more bioavailable.
NOTE:
Shilajit powder varies by batch. As shown in the images Shilajit varies from a light copper color to a deep dark brown.
This happens in part due to the time of the year, seasons and region in which the raw materials are harvested.
(This is applicable to many herbal products)
Shilajit’s Side Effects
Shilajit has been in use for thousands of years in Ayurveda. If it was dangerous it would have fallen in disfavor. If there are side effects they’re more likely caused by ‘fake shilajit’ or improperly processed kinds.
A Shilajit supplement is not recommended in people with gout as it can increase uric acid levels. Diabetics also need to be careful with it and monitor any medication it can lower blood sugar levels with its effects.
Historically pregnant women have used shilajit powder, though the West would considered it untested. Consult with your doctor. Historically shilajit has also been used with children but with smaller doses of course.
Some research with rats looked at giving them massive doses and found no liver toxicity or excessive iron. [7] Our shilajit powder and resin is California Prop 65 compliant. Because of the raw materials and how its processed you will find extremely low levels of lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury in it. In fact, shilajit and the fulvic acid it contains seems ideally suited to helping your body to detox heavy metals.*



Glenn Neal –
At first I really liked the shilajit, increased my energy noticeably, but unfortunately, it caused severe flare ups of gout. I’m unable to take it but I wish I could.
I’m 5’10” and 145 lbs, used to be vegan and run marathons. Evidently, I have some genetic malfunction so that I cannot eliminate uric acid efficiently 🙁

Alex Taylor (verified owner) –
I add shilagit to my freshly to my freshly juiced carrot juice. And it taste like chocolate milk. I usually add to 16 to 24oz. Of juice.
Fred Davis (verified owner) –
Prob the best thing that they sale. It’s pretty much good for everything. It’s the best quality I’ve found anywhere too. It’s really good as a preventative for alzheimers and dementia. Enhances cognitive function by increasing blood flow to hard to reach area’s. Raises testosterone. I add it to my preworkout. I struggled with hemroids for a while caused by heavy squatting. Three days of shilajit and I never had them again. It’s the real deal as far as immune boosting herbs.
Keitran Virgil (verified owner) –
It really does restore your strength over time.
It’s a boost of energy that last , without making you feel shaky. I will definitely buy it again.
Alan Brown (verified owner) –

Great Quality Product
Donna Amos (verified owner) –
I have high functioning autism, depression and possibly mild bipolar. I also have a very poor memory. This product has taken most of my debilitating symptoms away and has given me more energy, lifted the brain fog, helped me to stable out my mood swings, my depression is all but gone, my memory is improving and my productivity at work has gone up. If you suffer from any of these, don’t walk, run to get this product. It’s incredible! I was skeptical at first but now I wish I had taken it 10 years ago. Would 100% recommend it for anyone suffering from depression, anxiety, mood swings and other mental health problems.

This supplement is a recent addition to my “test” regimen but I noticed the effect right away. I add it to my protein shake and there is definitely a noticeable energy boost.
Dena Baron (verified owner) –
I did energy testing with this powder and my body practically fell into it. It tastes so, well, ancient. It feels very sacred and powerful.
james flood (verified owner) –
Just the taste this stuff is yuck
Larry –
I’ve tried many different brands of shilajit and know it doesn’t taste the greatest, but the shilajit resin I bought here is the worst tasting of them all. It doesn’t have the solid consistency of other shilajits – it is very watery and once dissolved in water has an awful taste. I have to return it because even though I’m not picky about taste in shilajit, this one is just not edible.
Chelsea Satterthwaite –
We are considering putting out a Shilajit capsule in the future. Would you be interested in that?

Provide a larger bag like you do for pine pollen so we save some money in buying more, or give a discount for buying 2 bags or more.

Elisabeth H. (verified owner) –
I love this product. I consistently feel great and have energy all day. I take it along with several other adaptogenic and nootropic herbs and the synergy is noticeable. Thank you.
Steven S Taylor (verified owner) –
I can tell a difference after taking this for a while.
Kenneth Middleton Jr. (verified owner) –
The powder offers the same benefits (overall strengthening of bodily systems, increased stamina and libido) as the resin, just of a lesser potency.
I like using both the powder and resin. I use the powder more frequently while I use the resin when in need of an extra boost.
Erik Lee (verified owner) –
Never tried shilajit before and this stuff was a revelation. When mixed into a cup of coffee it enhances the mood and energy boost but also moderates it with a calming, stabilizing effect. Also great blended with other herbs and sweetened with organic blackstrap molasses (for additional minerals) or stevia. Shilajit is a staple in my regimen now!
James Squire (verified owner) –
I rate this one this high, because I feel that it is also helping with my protein absorption, my sleep pattern. And my workout energy. But these are just my personal experiences/ feelings. Not clinical, or medical evidence.
Loke Kok Leong (verified owner) –
Product has no effect on me, maybe it is just me.
Kimberly Bushem (verified owner) –
This is the best product out there.
Dean McCoy (verified owner) –
First day taking these herbs I noticed a big difference. The Shialigit powder had me doing Yoga positions I have not been able to do for over a decade. and had so much energy I need to find somewhere to put it.
I am retired age 66 and when I took the He Shou Wu powder I did it for the other things not the sexual aid; I did not expect it to work but wow it did. Time will only tell if my hair regrows.
This now day two.
Kimberly bushem (verified owner) –
Love love love their products. I have a lot of medical issues, and emailed them and had a response immediately. They helped me with the right products to get my life back. I ran out of the shilajit, and I noticed a huge difference. I’m on my second order, and I feel alive again. Bless their heart for all the information and help they offer. I really felt like my life was over, but because of them I have hope. Customer service and delivery of products is awesome. Thank you for all your help.

Hi Al. Our shilajit is black in color but gold in nature.
Alex Taylor (verified owner) –
I receive my Product today pretty anxious to take the first dose. However I’m wondering about the product advertised on website is golden in color but my product is black, can you give me an explanation? I can’t give a review on the results of the product yet however Shipping was very prompt, thank you
Zane Christopher –
Hi Alex, ours is a combination of gold shilajit (swarna) and copper shilajit (tamra). This fact doesn’t mean the shilajit color is different then black though. It is just higher in those minerals then let’s say silver shilajit would be. It is the same product we have had for a few years now.

I have been using pine pollen and Tongkat Ali and I’m still having issues with inconsistent blood flow to the penis and premature ejaculation , i’m 52 years old and in good health any suggestions?
Zane Christopher –
If blood flow is an issue I would certainly suggest looking into cistanche as it works amazing for that. Unfortunately, it is still out of stock but should be back soon.
Thor’s Hammer has certainly helped me with the staying power. It won’t necessary help you but you never know. It also has tongkat and cistanche in it.
jonleyjr (verified owner) –
Yes, The Shilajit powder works really well. I was coming off of the flu train. And, the Shilajit helped me bounce back quickly. Overall, I feel great. I follow a schedule of 5 days on, 2 days off, then, 5 days on, 5 days off and repeat. Better rest, mood, less pain, in my joints especially are way better.
Zane Christopher –
Thank you again for this review as well as the Tongkat one! Glad to hear it helped with the flu. Probably better then getting a flu shot for you 😉
Barry –
Great herb from the Plant Kingdom. Use Shilajit several times a week. Keep up the good work.
Greg Russell –
The name says it all! Shilajit will, without a doubt, help you to conquer mountains and destroy weakness. The lack of fatigue and recovery time alone make this stuff worthwhile. It’s like providing the best quality grease for the cogs with bolstered framing to keep the cogs in place. This is yet another one I ran out of quickly and can not wait to try one of the other forms. I tried to order the pitch with our last purchase, but sadly it was out of stock at the time, so we decided to wait on that one. Working out and trying to maintain or boost health is a breeze when combing shilajit into the mix. Awesome stuff. You just feel,.. great! The list of products for Lost Empire Herbs is basically a bad ass compendium of ways to obtain radiant health and sustained strength and endurance for the rest of your extended life and quality of life.

My wife has fibromyalgia and cannot take the medicines that doctors prescribe. She has had this for 15 years and we have been searching for something to help her with the pain and inflammation. She had been living on NSAIDS. I have been worried about her for a long time because of this. I have had an interest in herbs since my bodybuilding days in college and felt like there should be something in nature that would help with this disease. Well, I think I finally found it. shilajit works for her by reducing the inflammaion and pain. she also takes pine pollen with it and notices the amp effect of it and other herbs she takes. shilajit seems like the great amplifier of everything! She also is coming off from taking so many NSAIDS and that takes a load off my mind. She swears this is the only thing that has worked since being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Thanks again guys for carrying this incredible stuff!
DEN –
i was really excited to start taking the pine pollen, ant extract, and shiljit, after reading the sales pages on these products. i finished the entire order, and unfortunately, i never realized the benefits, as stated. i’m 61, and expected to see gains in my workouts, and especially in the bedroom, but saw no difference in either.

Lost Empire herbs has changed my life!!!!
I have had an autoimmune disorder that has caused me pain for years. Many doctors have tried to help to no real avail. I would spend evening, nights, and weekends curled up in pain trying to recover enough to work the next day. Heavy pain meds are not an option as I am our families main provider. I was put on a coctail of beta-blockers to be able and make it through a work day in construction. This meant stopping to take medication through out the day as needed, sometimes up to 30 pills.
Herbal medicine seemed like a long shot but I decided to try. I added Shilajit and pine pollen to my daily routine. At same time I also upped my boron intake. Within a few short months my medical pills intake was able to be reduced to around 6 a day. That is only 1/5th of prior amount needed!!!!!
To take this up a notch I recently added Tongkat Ali. Wow- I come home from an enjoyable day at work and am gladly doing things around my own house and yard. Excersise is becoming something I choose to do in my free time. This has not happened in years.
These herbs have given me back my life. My body has improved so much. My marriage has improved as a result of feeling better. I have renewed strength. My mind is clearer. The list goes on- to put it shortly…
Thank you- To the people at Lost Empire Herbs for such spectacular products!!!!

I started taking this a month ago and it was a little rough at first. I had headaches the first two days that tapered by the third. Felt like heavy-metal detox. So, I was pounding water.
To get deeper detox in joints, muscle tissue, etc., I’ll follow the herbalists and ayurvedic Drs. who recommend, “take it every morning for 12 years.”
I went from dissolving it in my mouth, to adding it to my bulletproof coffee. My body craves it. I can feel it help rebalance hormones (along w weekly acupuncture). Gentle adrenal and (would guess) full spectrum androgenic. I’m almost done and will try the pitch next.
Daniel –
I just received my first order a couple of days ago, I’m excited to see the results hopefully I’m successful in my attempt to live a better quality of life I have muscular dystrophy so here’s my chance to prove doctors wrong. Hopine for the best. If you have any other products or mixes that may help feel free to contact me.
Dave –
my order arrived yesterday & I immediately gave it a test run. Within an hour I became much more alert & focused. My vision also became much clearer. Pretty awesome stuff! I can’t wait to see how I feel after a month of using it.
Jeff –
I’m being honest when I say that trying herbal supplements is not something I would normally do, but when I saw the results my friend Kevin was getting from Shilajit, I simply knew I had to try it. The effects are instantaneous, I dont take pain medication for past injuries, and my diet and metabolism has completely balanced out. Thanks Lost Empire Herbs!
FLAVIA –
With a busy always on the go lifestyle this stuff really helps stabilize & energize throughout the day. That feel good feeling. Better mood. Takes the edge off daily stress and back pain. I love these herbs! I just recently got the Phoenix formula, trying it for the first time today! Thanks Zane. Cloud & Ari.
Victoria –
I have tried the brown shilajit, tea pollen and ant extract. All high quality products. All three have helped me in the gym– I am lifting heavier and running faster. At first I was amaze how I wasn’t beat after a workout.. can you say stamina? I am completely sold on this stuff. And speaking of stamina.. I gave the shilajit to my boyfriend because he works 12hour days/6 days a week & drank energy drinks once sometimes twice a day. Taking the shilajit he has been able to quit energy drinks. He wakes up without being exhausted now! And another thing.. that Indian Viagra comment is real! TMI— but he remains erect for a while after an orgasm. I am serious! I don’t know what it does for females.. but men, this is what your partner has been looking for– NO side effects!
