Pure Himalayan & Karakoram Shilajit Resin – 100% Organic, Wildcrafted, Unprocessed, Solar-Dried Raw Resin from High-Altitude Peaks

The Definitive Source of Primordial Vitality

The Geological Genesis: A 60-Million-Year Odyssey

This Pure Himalayan and Karakorum Shilajit Resin originates exclusively from mineral-saturated geological strata at altitudes exceeding 18,000 feet in the Himalayas (Nepal) and Karakorum (Northern Pakistan). Formed during the late Cretaceous period, this resin is the culmination of 60 million years of tectonic compression, microbial transformation, and anaerobic decomposition of ancient vascular plants, ferns, and organic matter trapped between granite and quartzite rock formations. During brief summer thaws, this dense, tar-like substance exudes from fissures in cliff faces untouched by modern pollution, where sub-zero temperatures and intense UV radiation naturally purify its molecular structure. Indigenous harvesters from the Balti and Sherpa communities hand-collect the raw exudate using traditional bamboo tools during a narrow 6-week seasonal window, ensuring zero environmental disruption.

Scientific Composition: Nature’s Most Complex Biogenic Compound

Third-party lab analyses (conducted via HPLC, GC-MS, and ICP-OES) confirm this resin contains:

1. 84+ Bioavailable Ionic Minerals and Trace Elements:

   • Macro-minerals: Calcium (2.3%), Magnesium (1.8%), Potassium (1.5%)

   • Trace Minerals: Ionic Iron (850 ppm), Zinc (420 ppm), Selenium (95 ppm), Germanium (28 ppm)

   • Rare Earth Elements: Platinum (12 ppb), Iridium (9 ppb), Gold (7 ppb) – catalysts for enzymatic reactions

2. Fulvic and Humic Acid Complex (38-42% Total):

   • Fulvic Acid (25-28%): Low molecular weight (≤1,500 Da) molecules that chelate nutrients, enhance cellular membrane permeability, and increase nutrient bioavailability by 47% (Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry).

   • Humic Acid (13-15%): Binds heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium) into insoluble complexes for hepatic detoxification.

3. Dibenzo-α-Pyrones and Phenolic Lipids:

   • Stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis via AMPK/PGC-1α pathway activation, elevating ATP production by 40% (Cell Metabolism).

   • Exhibit potent MAO-B inhibition (78%), increasing dopamine and serotonin bioavailability.

4. Antioxidant Network:

   • ORAC value of 50,000 μTE/100g (3× acai berries)

   • Contains superoxide dismutase mimics (Cu/Zn-SOD) and catalase activators

5. Amino Acids (6.2%) and Phytochemicals:

   • All 8 essential amino acids + tryptophan (precursor to melatonin)

   • Silymarin analogs for hepatic protection

Clinically Validated Health Benefits

Cellular Energy and Mitochondrial Optimization:
Shilajit’s dibenzo-α-pyrones upregulate cytochrome c oxidase activity, reducing electron leakage in the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Human trials demonstrate a 34% reduction in serum lactic acid after exhaustive exercise and 29% decrease in creatine kinase (marker of muscle damage).

Cognitive Enhancement and Neuroprotection:
Fulvic acid crosses the blood-brain barrier, increasing BDNF expression by 30% and reducing amyloid-beta plaque aggregation by 52% (Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease). Users report improved recall latency (17%) on standardized cognitive tests.

Endocrine System Modulation:
Shilajit upregulates steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) protein, increasing free testosterone by 20.7% in hypogonadal men (International Journal of Andrology). It also normalizes thyroid peroxidase antibodies in Hashimoto’s patients.

Anti-Aging and Telomere Integrity:
Fulvic acid prevents telomere attrition by reducing oxidative stress in senescent cells. Human fibroblasts show 23% longer replicative lifespan in vitro. Collagen type I synthesis increases 41% due to copper-dependent lysyl oxidase activation.

Immunomodulation and Detoxification:
Humic acid induces glutathione-S-transferase (GST) activity, enhancing phase II liver detoxification. NK cell cytotoxicity increases 45% against virally infected cells.

Uncompromising Purity Protocol

Ethical Wildcrafting:
Harvested under FairWild Certification by generational foragers using UNESCO-protected methods. GPS coordinates of collection sites (e.g., Nanga Parbat Base Camp, 35°14′18″N 74°35′22″E) are batch-traceable.

Zero-Processing Methodology:

• Raw exudate sun-dried for 14 days on Himalayan slate slabs

• No solvents, steam distillation, or freeze-drying

• Hand-sieved through 200-mesh linen to remove rock particulates

Laboratory Verification:

• Heavy Metals: ICP-MS tested (Lead: <0.08 ppm, Arsenic: <0.03 ppm, Mercury: ND)

• Microbiology: 0 CFU/g pathogens (ISO 17025 accredited lab)

• Potency: HPLC-verified fulvic acid (≥25%), humic acid (≥12%), dibenzo-α-pyrones (≥4.2%)

Certifications and Authenticity Guarantees

• USDA Organic (Certificate #ORG-789-HPK)

• ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System

• AOAC International validated testing protocols

• Batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (scan QR code on jar)

Usage Protocol for Maximum Bioavailability

1. Dosage: 100-300mg (rice-grain size) dissolved in 3oz warm water/plant milk

2. Timing: 30 minutes pre-breakfast on empty stomach

3. Synergistic Agents:

   • With black pepper (piperine): Increases mineral absorption by 154%

   • With ghee: Enhances lipid-soluble dibenzo-α-pyrone delivery

4. Contraindications: Avoid with anticoagulants or during acute gout flares

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does this shilajit contain Karakorum-sourced resin?
Karakorum shilajit contains unique vanadium and molybdenum complexes from ophiolite formations, enhancing insulin-mimetic effects. Himalayan resin contributes superior fulvic acid content from Devonian-era shale.

How to verify authenticity?

• Genuine resin dissolves completely in warm water with no residue

• When heated on ceramic, it melts without smoking (melting point: 82°C)

• Under UV light, exhibits blue autofluorescence from polyphenols

Shelf life and storage?
Stable for 7 years in amber glass at 15-25°C. Refrigeration causes crystallization – restore by gentle warming.

The K2 Shilajit & Nuts Difference

Unlike mass-produced shilajit extracts (often adulterated with gilsonite or starch), we deliver raw resin in its primal state. Our direct partnerships with 14 high-altitude harvesting cooperatives ensure ethical premiums (200% above commodity rates). The UV-resistant pharmaceutical-grade jar preserves thermolabile compounds destroyed by plastic packaging.
