In recent years, due to its powerful anti-aging ability, shilajit has become a new favorite among Hollywood celebrities and celebrities: Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow added it to her breakfast smoothie, Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr., and the talk show queen Oprah Winfrey and many others use shilajit as part of their daily health routine. Another Hollywood star and technology entrepreneur Ashton Kutcher even invested in a nutritional supplement company that produces shilajit and fulvic acid.
One of the important reasons why shilajit is favored by Hollywood stars is that it is extremely rare and rare. Shilajit originally means "essence of the mountain" because Shilajit comes from the Himalayas and Tibetan mountains. There are many rare plants growing on the mountains. They gradually decompose under the action of microorganisms to form Shilajit over hundreds or even thousands of years. It is hidden in mountain crevices at an altitude of 1,000 to 5,000 meters and requires manual climbing and excavation to collect it. Therefore, the output is very small, comparable to "black gold". According to modern scientific and technological analysis, Shilajit is extremely nutritious and contains dozens of concentrated nutrients, including fulvic acid, polyphenols, minerals, etc.
With the deepening of scientific research, Shilajit has been proven to have a variety of beneficial functions in the human body, including increasing cellular energy ATP, relieving fatigue, anti-oxidation, and reducing the formation of AGE, the end product of glycation. In terms of anti-aging, Shilajit exerts multiple beneficial rejuvenating functions:
①
Activate skin microcirculation perfusion: Skin nutrition relies on blood flow perfusion for delivery, and skin aging is often accompanied by blood flow microcirculation disorders, which leads to damage to all layers of the skin due to the inability to obtain nutrients, and eventually falls into a vicious cycle. Research shows that after taking shilajit, the microcirculation of women's facial skin is significantly improved, and blood perfusion is restored and improved.
②
Increase the synthesis of type I collagen: More than 90% of the skin is composed of type I collagen, which supports the elasticity and youthfulness of the skin; however, as age increases, the synthesis of collagen decreases and the loss accelerates, causing depressions and wrinkles. Studies have shown that supplementing Shilajit extract for 8 weeks significantly increased the expression of type I collagen synthesis genes. Specifically, the gene expression of type I α1 and type I α2 collagen increased by 4.61 times and 5.13 times respectively. And within a shorter supplementation time, shilajit supplementation was more beneficial to increasing type I collagen gene expression than hydrolyzed collagen and astaxanthin.
③
Supports the repair and regeneration of skeletal muscles: The firm contours of the face are fixed by skeletal muscles. As we age, the skeletal muscles reduce and shrink, and the facial lines also sag. Studies have shown that shilajit can induce the expression of extracellular matrix ECM genes and upregulate the gene expressions of ELN (elastin), FBN1 (fibrillin 1), and FN1 (fibronectin 1), thereby promoting the repair and regeneration of skeletal muscles.
The anti-aging pathway of Shilajit has attracted the attention and attention of international scientific research and the global raw material market. It is believed that it will be widely used in the anti-aging market in the near future.
