Lotus Blooming Herbs Authentic Shialjit Gold Grade Himalayan Resin 10 Grams

***Note... Quick update: I still take this when I feel a bit 'dodgy' along with other natural supplements, but I have moved on to other products (not available on Amazon). There is no negative reason for this, but I found some products that give me better results overall for immune support and energy. I still highly recommend giving this a try! This is going to be a long review - I'll break it up in sections so anyone who reads it can skip the parts that aren't relevant to them. **Tried 3 different brands** I started taking this in mid-October 2014. I'm addicted to this and for good reason. First let me say that I have also tried PurBlack brand and one on Etsy that was very cheap. All 3 smelled the same, had the same taste, and had the same daily results for me. I had all 3 at the same time and rotated them throughout the week to see if I could tell a difference. I couldn't. I won't buy the cheap version again, as I'm worried about why it's so cheap (I'm paranoid). I prefer the one from Lotus Herbs because of the consistency. It's easier to handle. I can get a small amount out, roll it in a ball and swallow it like a pill. With PurBlack, I have to dissolve it in water; consistency is a bit different, gooier. It's not a big deal, but it takes 10-15 minutes and I'm usually in a hurry. I take it on am empty stomach in the morning, with other supplements (right now, fermented cod liver oil/butter oil blend, MegaFoods multi, and a couple times a week I add triphala and turmeric). **Initial reaction when taken** I am a highly sensitive person - that means that heat, coffee, medicine, supplements, and food seem to have a greater impact (usually negative) on me than others. That is important to know, because when I shared some of the supplement with 4 other people, no one else had my same reaction. They had a small reaction of overall feeling better, but nothing like I experienced. I started with PurBlack and my initial response as rather euphoric - it was seriously so magical that even though it tasted and smelled terrible I was drawn to it and wanted more all day long (I limited myself to 1-2 servings). I couldn't believe how amazing I felt right after I took it. I had energy boost, and I just felt alive and amazing. **Background** A bit of background (feel free to skip); I work about 60 hours a week, working on my doctoral degree, I have twin preschoolers, and far too many interests and hobbies - I am one of those people who loves doing things; I rarely sit down to relax, no time for TV watching, etc. But I have been struggling to keep up with myself for the last 5 years. I never fully 'recovered' from having twins in 2011 - I've been exhausted ever since I was first pregnant and I knew my mineral levels were likely very low as I had a very rough pregnancy. I also had a very poor diet (lots of sugar and fast food) until the twins were born. Afterwards, I learned about proper nutrition, which changed my life (and my family's), but I still needed something to help. I entered the world of natural supplements and homeopathy around 2012. I love to experiment. I have explored so many different supplements, remedies, Paleo, whole foods, juicing, smoothies, etc. It's all wonderful, and eating as many veggies as possible really helped me feel so much better, but I still didn't feel 100%. **What it has done for me** Besides giving me the energy boost that I really needed (w/no crash), it has helped with my blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia), psoriasis, boost in my mood, boost in my immune system in a huge way, I have better focus, clarity, and feel 'alive' or 'whole' - I'm not quite sure how to explain that last part. I feel like I'm functioning at 100% or at least near it on my bad days. I have struggled with hypoglycemia ever since I can remember. I've never been treated for it, but try to manage it on my own. I am sensitive to sugar, so when I don't eat well, my mood suffers (I turn into a grouchy monster), I get tired/crash, and feel weak/shaky. It happens if I have too much coffee (usually more than 1 cup) or anything that is a stimulant. If I don't eat very well (mostly organic produce, with some grass-fed/pastured meats) I suffer with signs of hypoglycemia. If I take shilajit first thing in the morning, I can eat whatever I want and have 2 pots of coffee (terrible, I know) without feeling any bad effects related to hypoglycemia. I have not been eating that well since I started on shilajit, as I like to use the holidays as an excuse to eat whatever I want ;) I have started eating better recently and looking forward to seeing what shilajit will do with a better diet. However, thanks to shilajit, I haven't suffered due to eating poorly (not much produce and too much pizza). The 2nd biggest reason why I can't live without it is the boost it's given my immune system. I was eating well until I got lazy a year ago, and started eating poorly. I ended up getting ill more times in 2014 than I have in nearly my entire adulthood (I'm in my late 30s). Part of that is having 2 young children who go to school who bring home a lot of germs :) I work from home, so I don't have to don't get exposure from work. In 2014, I had the flu 2-3 times, several head colds, I ended up with bronchitis 3 times (never had it prior), etc. Since taking shilajit, the girls have been sick multiple times. If I get sick, I will have maybe one day where I don't feel great (a bit run down), but recover quickly. A couple weeks ago both of my girls were fairly sick, and I woke up one morning with a raw/swollen throat. The next day my throat was better, but I had a very mild cold. It last for one day. The biggest difference is that I still have clarity and focus, unlike in the past where having a cold would really impact that area and make it difficult to work. **Why I can't stop taking it** I tried to stop a couple of times - it's expensive! I don't like being dependent on any type of supplement. I just like to experiment and move on. However, for me, this is the most important supplement I take and I'll take it as long as I can afford it. On the days I tried to stop, I felt jittery from having more than 1 cup of coffee, I had hypoglycemic episodes, I felt 'okay' but not 100%. It's not worth it for me to stop, the negative effects of not taking this are too great for me. **Advice for others** I asked others to try this and some felt a mild effect, but no one thought it was worth the money and they couldn't stand the taste and smell (not that you really taste it as you aren't chewing on it). For me it's a life changer, but none of the other people that tried it are like me - they don't have the same issues that I do. So this may or may not be a 'magical' supplement for you - you will have to be willing to spend the money in order to try it out for yourself. Also, that euphoric-like feeling wore off after 3 months. One day it just stopped. I only had this product (Lotus Herbs) at the time, so I quickly bought PurBlack to see if that would give me the 'feeling' again. It didn't. So I tried to quit altogether, thinking that it no longer was working for me, and got the same aforementioned negative results (sensitivity issues). I know it's still working, but I also know that I may never get that 'magical' feeling again. That was just a bonus effect, so I'm okay with that, though it was wonderful while it lasted. **Bottom line** I cannot live without this supplement, but it's certainly not for everyone. Just like all natural supplements - some are 'magical' and many do nothing, even if 'everyone else' swears by them. You have to find what your body needs and you will know it when you find it.

I purchased this "Authentic Shilajit", a black tar like substance (there are a lot of fakes and diluted products out there) back in August 2018. It is more expensive on Amazon so I got a better price at the lotusbloomingherbs site. I have been taking it on and off since. I used to have a daily problem taking in deep breaths, sometimes gasping to get oxygen to my body such that my heart was working so hard to help get oxygen to my body that my heart hurt. Shilajit is Fulvic Acid and minerals, I think 45% oxygen-- VOILA-- it delivers oxygen-- I am no medical pro and I don't understand how it works, but it works for my oxygen delivery problem; I have confirmed this again and again over the past months. It takes millions of years to naturally produce Shilajit on high rocky cliffs in the Himalaya's-- how they source it must be a huge undertaking! But who would think this resin would solve an oxygen delivery problem! Shilajit totally controls my problem. I originally purchased Shilajit because I read so many people got energy from it (originally I think moneys were seen eating it and it gave them a lot of energy). I had extreme fatigue-- always after eating I would fall asleep; and I was not functional most of the day. When taking Shilajit with coconut oil (I take 2 Tablespoons melted virgin coconut oil but some prefer sesame oil) plus warm water one or two hours before eating, Shilajit made me functional after eating. At first I took it twice a day-- working from a rice size up to a pea size, then when I was feeling better a few months later, I took a break and then when I became a little immune compromised the deep breathing and fatigue began again, so I started taking Shilajit. Once again I regained my natural breathing, my energy and mental alertness. I think it is astonishing. I don't think Humic acid would be as effective as fulvic acid for me because it does not have as much oxygen in it. I think the medical field should further discover and study this natural wonder. If it can solve other people's oxygen delivery problems like it does for me, as well as provide energy and prevent extreme fatigue, and as well as to increase mental focus, that is a huge, even amazing! I am hooked on it and will continue having it on hand. I read that you shouldn't take Shilajit with tap water that contains Chlorine as it has a bad reaction with Chlorine. But you can take probiotics at the same time as Shilajit. I also take astragalus at the same time, in warm water, as astragalus strengthens the immune system and fights bacteria and viruses. I personally like the taste of Shilajit and dissolve it under my tongue but a lot of people prefer to dissolve it in water due to the strong mineral taste. Nature ROCKS!

I just started it about a week ago. I am am not sure of the dose, maybe a rice grain or a little more. I mix with some hot water or let it dissolve under my tongue. Anyway, I notice that I have a sustained energy until the end of the day, with just one dose. I also notice that my heart is calmer. When in traffic or a jarring situation, I seem to be slower to be effected by it. I find this fascinating, as I just started with it. My biggest problem is, that I read many ways of cycling its usage. Some say, you need a long break, others say a short break. Some say every day, some say a few times a week. I am still working that. Thanks! But this is a small problem compared to the "VIB" I feel with it, and such a tiny dose. I will buy again!

For far too long I have been searching for the real deal. Growing up in India, I would always hear about this miracle gum- but the issue was always with authenticity. Whilst the market is flooded with a lot of shilajit and shilajit extracts... I found that nothing came close to the real shilajit which is akin to a resin and has a consistency of melted gummy bear / sour worm. While the rest of the products have a ton of filler materials in them and hardly any real shilajit, this product is a total antipodal to those The packing was minimal and well thought of... the gum actually comes in a tiny plastic container ... which sits comfortably in a tin container. Refer to the pics uploaded here... I took a tiny morsel of this shilajit ( as big as a mung bean) and dropped the included spatula in tepid water... with minimal stirring, the product dissolved easily and in about 30 mins of ingesting it, I felt the effects. The resin itself is smells like a mix of Peat / Smoke and a hint of vetiver ... whiskey drinkers might recall the smell of a peaty whiskey like Lagavulin / laphroaig... Shilajit smells like that...Bituminous is the only word that comes to mind now. The effects for me were immediate.... the calm intense focus descends... it almost felt like I had climbed a mountain and reached the peak ... you know that feeling where you take a moment to breath in the fresh air of the altitude and almost immediately a calm descends upon you with intense clarity... drinking shilajit felt like that.. that said... the effects depend on personal bio chemistry and YMMV I like this product ... I will buy more of this for my family members

Recently, Authentic Shilajit Health has been getting more attention as a natural health product that might have a lot of benefits. Shilajit is a blackish-brown rock fluid that comes from rocks in the Himalayas. It is known for having a lot of minerals in it and possibly being good for your health. This article will talk about the different parts of Authentic Shilajit Health and how it might affect your health as a whole. The high mineral level of Authentic Shilajit Health is one of its most important benefits. Minerals that are good for your health, like fulvic acid, iron, calcium, and magnesium, are found in shilajit. These minerals are very important for many body processes, like keeping bones healthy, making energy, and staying healthy overall. Shilajit is a powerful natural supplement for fixing mineral deficits because it contains fulvic acid, which helps the body absorb these minerals better. Authentic Shilajit Health is known for more than just its minerals. It may also help the body adapt. There are natural substances called adaptogens that help the body deal with stress and keep its balance. Shilajit has been used for a long time in Ayurvedic medicine as a stabilizer to help the body handle both mental and physical stress. It can give you more energy and make you feel less tired, which makes it a useful supplement for people who want to control how worry affects their health. Authentic Shilajit Health has also been linked to possible anti-inflammatory and antioxidant qualities. Shilajit may help with its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties because it has fulvic acid and other bioactive substances in it. These qualities are important for fighting reactive stress and inflammation, which are at the root of many long-term health problems. By adding Shilajit to a healthy routine, people may be able to benefit from its ability to protect against oxidative damage and inflammation. In conclusion: Authentic Shilajit Health, did support my overall health in a natural and whole way. Shilajit could be very helpful for health and energy because it has a lot of minerals, can help with adapting to new situations, and might have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. It is important to talk to a doctor before adding Shilajit to your routine, as with any natural vitamin, to make sure it will work with your health needs.

I was new to these supplements as heard about Shilajit but never used it. I am giving a detailed review based on my personal experience. I used 3 Shilajits in last 3 months. First one was Banyan Botanicals, 2nd was Lotus and 3 rd was Pur Black. With banyan Botanicals as they did not give any details about the source and the analysis of their Shilait on their website so I became little skeptical. But after strated using Banyan Shilajit, I found a shift in my mood and I bcame more active and jolly in nature. 2nd month I was on Lotus Shilajit. Very thick , horse manure like smell and peculier taste . I felt energetic, and one more thing what I noticed my hair started turning balck ( I have pre mature grey hair ), not all so do not expect miracles but you can see the effect. Them as I was going through other Shilajit reviews and Pur Black got maximum good reviews with a tag that this is the best. Well, I must say Pur black is more gluey, stronger horse manure smell , stronger taste . mixes easily but NO advanagtes over Lotus or Banyan. May be this was the third Shilajit I tried but no distict advantages over other two. May be if Pur Black is your first Shilajit then you can experience more benefits but in my case I will ran this 3rd. My sincere suggestion based upon my experience If you have limited budget try Banyan Botanicals Shilajit as this is a very reputable company. If you can afford, go ahead with Lotus shilajit in stead of Pur Black as Pur Black is little more expensive. I have no medical problems and in goof helath , for me Shilajit worked as mood enhancer , helped in good sleep and in stressful situations I found myself calm. But do not expect miraculous results that you will become superhuman or anything. Yes, these supplements give us all the minerals but good food , regular exercise, meditation and reading good literature are more important. So enjoy Shilajit but more expensive does not mean more potent , this is the lesson. Do your through research before you buy anything.

My constantly sick friend was gone for 4 months. Came back looking great with 0 of his issues before. Energized and healthy. He had digestive issues, heart issues and energy issues. All gone. I asked him what changed and he said THIS particular Shilajit did it. Its the only thing he did different besides doing also some cold showers sometimes. Otherwise all things where the same. He can now even eat stuff he never could eat before. And have 0 negative reactions. He then went on giving this to his own 80 year old father who honestly looked like he was about to check out from here. 4-5 days later he was walking around. cracking jokes. looking alive again. So, I got a jar from him(he stocks up on this stuff now) and just tried a dose for the first time. Damn, elevated heart rate. buzzing in ALL my cells. It was too strong for me. I did about 2 rice sized dosage. I tried shilajit before in the past. Never had an reaction like this before. I know this is potent. pure. treat it with respect. Take small amounts. Ill be taking 1 rice grain size tomorrow in the morning only. Slowly build up. My friend told me it really kicked in after few weeks. So ill go easy and see what happens. If I remember Ill update the review here in a few weeks.

I would have given this product ZERO stars if I could. I wish I had not wasted money on this. First off I opened the Amazon package and I could smell it and it smelled like used chew tobacco. The metal tin was cute and really should have been used for the product. I opened the metal tin to find a tiny plastic tin. First off I avoid plastics in my life and to me it was insulting to spend so much to be given cheap plastic. Any company selling health products should know most health concerned people are going towards no use of plastics in anything they ingest. I tried to open the tiny plastic container and I could not. So I had my husband open it for me and he literally broke a finger nail opening it. It was sticky glued shut because it was packaged in a wrong sized tub. We could not even shut the little plastic tube because of it. I tried the recommended dose of this despite my huge dislike of the plastics. Within 30 minutes I had a huge migraine and felt sick to my stomach. I have tried Shilajit before and I have NEVER had this reaction to it. Now this is the first time I have ever ordered some from Amazon but sadly where I used to get it locally closed. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT TO ANYONE. Shilajit can be a wonderful energy booster and mental clarity aid but sadly I don't think this stuff is pure IF it is even the real thing. I really have my doubts about the authenticity of this Shilajit. My best advice is to avoid this product. Huge waste of money.

Great the best one 👌

Hola a penas voy a comenzar a utilizarlo, ya les contaré.

Although too soon to tell full effrcts, can already feel the difference.

Probé el famoso shilajit diario, 2 veces al día, la primera en ayunas y la segunda por la tarde durante 3 semanas y no tuve resultados, en mi opinión NO ES RECOMENDABLE

I have been using this product for almost 2 weeks it is meeting my expectations though expensive compare to other but this product is of the best quality.
