Unlike most of our herbal products, this tar-like material is not actually harvested directly from a plant. Shilajit is created from the slow decomposition of plant material over many centuries, deep in the rocks of high mountainous regions across the world. As it develops, it becomes a sticky, mineral-infused substance. Eventually, stimulated by the intense heat of summer, it seeps out through the rocks, finally available to harvest.
Wild collected from high altitude mountain regions each summer, sustainable and ethical harvesting practices are essential to the long term availability of shilajit. As its popularity has grown in recent years, so has demand, and much of the shilajit on the global market is harvested from the Himalayan mountain range, leading to some sustainability concerns. We now acquire our shilajit from the Balkan mountains in Eastern Europe, where sustainability is not a concern.
