Shilajit: The Insanely Powerful Tar-Like Himalayan Substance From Ayurveda That Will Biohack Your Bones, Skin, Joints, And Testosterone — Dr Sanni Raju | #025
Summary: Dr Sanni Raju is the chairman and CEO of Natreon Inc. (https://natreoninc.com/), a company dedicated to bringing powerful medicinal compounds to the world, most of them hailing from the ancient Ayurvedic tradition from India. One such compound is shilajit, a phenomenal fulvic mineral compound that I've been using to biohack my joint health, bone health, collagen production, and testosterone for around 15 years, so I can personally attest to just how incredible this stuff is. Although not yet incredibly well-known to the average health enthusiast, shilajit is gaining steam in the biohacking and natural medicine world, not just due to its thousands of years of use on the Indian subcontinent and beyond, but because of the growing body of research that backs its efficacy as an adaptogen, bio-booster, and healing tool, that shows it is responsible for considerable positive increases in many biomarkers. And as you'll hear in this episode, there are many reasons I've been taking shilajit for so long, and I consider it one of the key ingredients I would not want to give up out of my biohacking toolkit. In this episode, Dr Sanni Raju discusses many of the benefits of shilajit, a few of the studies that show just how effective shilajit can be on your body, the dose you should be taking of shilajit to see positive effects, how some shilajit can become contaminated by heavy metals and other toxic impurities, as well as the kind of shilajit you should not be taking — which is something I needed to hear, due to me making a few mistakes in how I was getting it into my body. Shilajit it also not the greatest tasting substance in the world, so we talk about how to get it into your body, without suffering from the cigarette ash taste that I always relate this powerful product to. One issue with getting shilajit into your life, is that with many supplement companies who peddle it to the masses, more often than not you're buying a low-quality product that contains filler, or extremely small amounts of the actual active ingredient. This is one problem that Natreon are trying to tackle with the pure shilajit they supply to the biohacking and health industry, and to make things easy for you, I've listed a number of shilajit supplements below that you can trust for purity and effectiveness, due to them containing Natreon's PrimaVie shilajit.
