Jason and I are always trying out health remedies and supplements. It’s one of our hobbies, you could say, that we share with each other! 🤣💕🫶 • Though we get most of our nutrients from the plants and animals we grow and raise on our farmstead right here in Missouri- we don’t produce black shilajit ourselves, and it happens to be one of our all-time-favorites and most used supplements we take every day. • The health benefits are innumerable, so this caption will continue into the pinned comments as well! • Shilajit, a traditional herbal medicine, helps improve health issues ranging from Alzheimer’s disease and high cholesterol to weak, brittle bones (osteoporosis). Some people take shilajit to help relieve altitude sickness and boost their sperm count. • Shilajit contains an antioxidant known as fulvic acid. A 2012 study found that fulvic acid in shilajit may help block the buildup of tau—a type of protein that forms twisted clusters of dead and dying nerve cells known as neurofibrillary tangles. Tau is considered a key marker of Alzheimer’s disease and similar diseases.2 • Researchers have also found significant decreases in cholesterol levels and triglycerides in the shilajit group compared to the placebo group in case studies. A more recent animal study showed shilajit also reduced liver damage associated with non-alcoholic fatter liver disease (NAFLD) and reduced triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and blood sugar. • People may consume shilajit to reduce altitude sickness symptoms such as insomnia, headache, nausea, and fatigue. Altitude sickness is caused by hypoxia (lack of oxygen supply) and shilajit is thought to reduce hypoxia. • Collagen is an abundant protein in the body that is a major component of bone, skin, muscles, tendons, and cartilage. Collagen synthesis is important for maintaining healthy skin, joints, and muscles as you age because your body’s natural production gradually declines. • Cnt in pinned comments and replies 💕 - - - #herbalist #herbalism #healthychoices #supplements #naturalist #homesteader #homestead #blackshilajit #shilajit #shilajitbenefits
