The benefits
What shilajit is prized for
Shilajit is a mineral-rich resin that seeps from high-altitude mountain rock. In Ayurveda it has long been treated as a rasayana, a tonic for everyday vitality. Here is what people take it for.*
Energy & stamina
Traditionally taken to support natural energy and endurance through the day.
Performance & recovery
A favorite with active people looking to support physical performance and post-workout recovery.
Men's vitality
Early research has explored shilajit's role in supporting healthy testosterone levels in men.
Fulvic acid & minerals
Naturally contains fulvic acid and a range of trace minerals from the mountain rock it comes from.
Antioxidant support
Laboratory research has found antioxidant activity in shilajit's natural compounds.
Focus & clarity
Traditionally used to support mental clarity, focus and overall vitality.

The difference
Same shilajit. None of the tar.
Traditional shilajit comes as a thick black paste with a bitter, smoky, tar-like taste. Mountain Caviar gives you shilajit in an encapsulated form, so there is nothing to scoop, stir or grimace through.
