Bhutan Shilajit originated in the Himalayas via plate movement 65 million years ago. During the collision of the Indian and Asian continents, tropical forests and seabed plants were crushed and compacted into the earth along with the minerals and nutrients. Being sealed deeply in the mountain, those plants and essences were pulverized via microbial action. After a million years they have been transformed into a healthy, beneficial and absorbable biomass. Shilajit has evolved into a black essence with mysterious legends.
