Fountain of Youth
You should take Fountain Of Youth if you have or need help with:
Energy, Stress, Immunity, Aging, Mental Cognition

For centuries, Himalayan natives, with life spans well over 100 years of age have used a rare humic substance high in fulvic acid for anti-aging and rejuvenation. It is (DBP-3) 3-Hydroxydibenzo-apyrone and (DBP-38) 3, 8-Dihydroxy-dibenzo-a-pyrone, and (DBC) Dibenzo-apyrone chromoprotein. As we age, our bodies start to lose vitality, our minds are no longer as sharp, and our immune systems need more time to recover from illnesses. Discoveries have led many scientists to believe that the bioactives found in our Fountain of Youth may be essential for the existence of life on earth.

What is our Fountain of Youth? It is a patented, purified and standardized Shilajit dietary supplement ingredient for nutraceutical use that is developed for providing energy to human body and mind. The reason why the Fountain of Youth ingredient the Shilajit is the ultimate Shilajit on the market is because of the rare humic substance standardized to have not less than 60% fulvic acid the bioactive carrier and equivalents with high levels of (DBP - 3%) dibenzo-a-pyrones and (DCP - 10%) dibenzo-a-pyrone chromoproteins.

The bioactives are still present in humans and other animals as a source of energy. The primary role that our Fountain of Youth will play in human life is it works at the cellular level, playing a direct role in the syntheseis of ATP as a compound that supplies the body with energy, and healthy mitochondrial function.

These are substantiated claims based upon solid scientific evidence. Our product is patented and currently has 5 US Patents and 3 Patents Pending and is backed by clinical studies. One of the Patents Pending is for Mitochondria Anti-Oxidant. In addition, another Patent Pending is the composition of stable metabolites of DHA and EPA essential fatty acids.

These levels of bioactive constituents are not available in any other shilajit on the market today; they represent years of research to develop the manufacturing process and quality assurance tests needed to ensure their promised availability. The quality of our product is simply the most superior of its kind.

As an adaptogen, this helps the body increase resistance to fatigue while providing energy, vitality and well-being by augmenting the activity of Coenzyme Q-10.

Testing and Science

Anti-inflammatory
Goel, R.K., et al, "Anti-ulcerogenic and Anti-inflammatory Studies With Shilajit," Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 29: 95-103, 1990.
Albino rats were given injections of potassium carrageenan to induce inflammation in their hind paws. The paws were measured for fluid volume before and, at timed intervals, after injection. Shilajit, at a dose of 50 mg/kg, reduced chemically induced inflammation by 77 percent.

Antioxidant
Ghosal, S., et al, "Interaction of Shilajit With Biogenic Free Radicals," Department of Pharmaceutics, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi-221005, India
Processed shilajit was tested for its ability to neutralize sulfite anion (SO), hydroxyl (HO), and nitric oxide (NO) free radicals. Chemical polymerization by free radicals was measured with and without processed shilajit. It provided almost complete protection of methyl methacrylate (MMA) against HO-radical-induced polymerization and significantly inhibited the polymerization of MMA by the SO free radicals. Processed shilajit efficiently trapped NO free radicals. The antioxidant effects were concentration-dependent. Higher concentrations of processed shilajit provided greater free-radical protection.

Ghosal, S., et al, "Antioxidant Defense by Native and Processed Shilajit - A Comparative Study," Indian Journal of Chemistry, 35B: 127-132, 1996.
The antioxidant potential of processed shilajit was compared to unprocessed shilajit and vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Peak levels of shilajit occurred 12 to 15 hours after ingestion and took more than 72 hours to metabolize. Processed shilajit showed significant antioxidant activity. It also exhibited the ability to regenerate ascorbic acid after it neutralized free radicals. The dihydroxybenzo-alpha-pyrones in shilajit recycled ascorbic acid. Unprocessed shilajit did not consistently exhibit antioxidant activity.

Diabetes
Bhattacharya, S.K., et al, "Shilajit Attenuates Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetes Mellitus and Decreases Pancreatic Islet Superoxide Dismutase Activity in Rats," Neuropharmacology Laboratory, Department of Pharmacology, Institute of Medical Science, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi-221005, India
Diabetes mellitus was experimentally induced in albino rats by the administration of streptozotocin. The disease resulted in an increase of superoxide free radicals and free-radical damage to the pancreas. From the fourteenth day on, there was significant hyperglycemia, or high blood sugar, due to a lack of insulin. The test groups were given 50 mg/kg or 100 mg/kg. The shilajit had no effect on normal blood sugar levels. It stopped the progression of hyperglycemia with statistically significant changes among the 100 mg/kg group. There was also a decrease in superoxide-free-radical damage owing to the antioxidant effects of shilajit.

General
Ghosal, S., et al, "The Need for Formulation of Shilajit by Its Isolated Active Constants," Phytotherapy Research, 5: 211-216, 1991.
Unprocessed shilajit samples collected from India, Nepal, Pakistan, and the Soviet Union were compared to a processed shilajit extract for their respective antistress and central nervous system effects. The processed shilajit extract produced consistently better results than the unprocessed shilajit. Stress was induced by forced swimming immobility on albino rats for six minutes. The treated rats recovered more quickly than the nontreated rats, with the processed shilajit producing the best results. Albino rats given shilajit extract resisted aspirin-induced ulcers significantly better than the control group, which received no shilajit, and the group that was fed unprocessed shilajit. The therapeutic properties of shilajit vary by region. To provide a consistent level of active ingredients, processing and standardization is necessary.

Immunity
Ghosal, S., et al, "Shilajit-Induced Morphometric and Functional Changes in Mouse Peritoneal Macrophages," Department of Pharmaceutics, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi-221005, India
Mice were given either a shilajit extract or a placebo. Their white blood cell activity was monitored prior to and, at intervals, after receiving the shilajit extract or placebo. The shilajit extract increased white blood cell activity, which rose in accordance with the dosage and the time that elasped after exposure.

Ghosal, S., "Chemistry of Shilajit, an Immunomodulatory Ayurvedic Rasayan," Pure and Applied Chemistry, 62 (7): 1285-1288, 1990.
The low-molecular-weight oxygenated dibenzo-alpha-pyrones and triterpenic acid (humic and fulvic acids) are the major active ingredients of shilajit. They affect the endocrine, autonomic, and central nervous systems, bringing about an immunomodulating result by increasing the activity of macrophages.

Bhatineharyn, S.K., "Effect of Shilajit on Rat Brain Monoamines," Department of Pharmacology, Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi-221005, India Ghosal, S., Department of Pharmaceutics, Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi-2210052, India

Male albino rats were divided into four groups:

• Control
• Shilajit extract (50mg/kg) one hour prior to evaluation
• Shilajit extract (25mg/kg) daily five hours before evaluation
• Shilajit extract (50mg/kg) daily five hours before evaluation

Memory
Ghosal, S., et al, "Effects of Shilajit and Its Active Constituents on Learning and Memory in Rats," Pharmaceutical Chemistry Research Laboratory, Department of Pharmaceutics, Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi-221005, India

Lab rats were given processed shilajit, raw shilajit, or fulvic acid (derived from shilajit). The rats were then tested in a maze and a mild electric-shock-avoidance environment. The rats that were fed the processed shilajit learned to evade electric shocks more quickly and took less time to learn the maze than the control subjects did.

Ulcer
Goel, R.K., "Anti-ulcerogenic and Anti-inflammatory Studies With Shilajit," Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 29: 95-103, 1990.
Albino rats and male guinea pigs were given aspirin to induce gastric ulcers. The subjects that were fed shilajit had fewer incidences of ulcers. When the gastric juices were analyzed, researchers found a significant increase in the carbohydrate-protein ratio, which indicates a rise in protective mucosal secretions. The subjects that consumed shilajit were protected from ulcers owing to a jump in the secretion of the stomach's protective mucous.

Ghosal, S., et al, "Anti-ulcerogenic Activity of Fulvic Acids and 4-methoxy-6-carbmethoxybiphenyl Isolated From Shilajit," Phytotherapy Research, 2 (4): 187-191, 1988.
Two organic compounds, fulvic acid (FA) and 4-methoxy-6-carbmethoxybiphenyl (MCB), were extracted from shilajit for their ability to protect against ulcers. A single administration of the extracts did not offer protection from ulcer formation. Five consecutive days of administration of FA and MCB significantly reduced the stress-ulcer index compared with that of the control group.

Origin of Shilajit

The bioactives found in shilajit have survived hundreds of millions of years of evolution. Studies have shown that these bioactives are still present in humans and other animals and provide an energy source. These discoveries have led many scientists to believe that the bioactives found in shilajit may be essential for the existence of life on earth.

Who is behind the development of our Shilajit?
Our Shilajit is the ultimate shilajit ingredient established by Dr. Shibnath Ghosal, respected and retired Chief Science Officer. Dr. Ghosal is a world-renowned natural-product scientist who has been studying the exudate for more than 30 years.

Why is our Shilajit so Unique?
The bioactives present in shilajit have survived hundreds of millions of years of evolution. These bioactives are still present in humans and other animals and provide an energy source. These discoveries have led many scientists to believe that the bioactives found in shilajit may be essential for the existence of life on earth.

What sets our SHILAJIT apart from others?
Regular shilajit is a pale brown to blackish-brown exudation of variable consistencies, found in fissures of sedimentary rocks found high in the Himalayan Mountains, at altitudes of 1,000 to 5,000 meters. Unfortunately, regular shilajit has no chemical definition. It is well-known that ill-defined dietary-supplement ingredients of natural origin can vary significantly from one another with respect to bioactive constituents; hence the performance and safety also varies. With our Shilajit, we are able to guarantee only the most potent and safe shilajit for use in dietary-supplement or health formulations. The shilajit in our Shilajit is obtained from carefully selected shilajit-bearing rocks. It is then put through patented technology, which produces a consistent purified and standardized compound, assuring optimal levels of bioactive components.

WHAT IS THE PRIMARY FUNCTION OF OUR SHILAJIT?
Our Shilajit assists in the maintenance and regeneration of normal physiological functions by acting as an energy currency, or biocatalyst, in the body.

DOES OUR SHILAJIT PROVIDE ANY BENEFITS OTHER THAN ENERGY ENHANCEMENT?
Modern research has shown that shilajit increases immunity, strength, and endurance; it strengthens cognitive ability, heightens libido, and functions as a transporter/carrier to more efficiently drive other nutrients into the body. As an adaptogen, it helps reduce stress, strengthen the immune system, and reduce allergies.

WHAT IS AN ADAPTOGEN?
By definition, an adaptogen is a substance that:
Demonstrates nonspecific balancing effects, such as increased resistance to physical or biological stressors
Possesses a normalizing influence on the body and mind
Does not disturb functions already within a normal range

As an adaptogen, shilajit provides vitality and well-being by restoring lost DBPs and DCPs. It also balances and normalizes functions such as blood pressure, hormone levels, energy production, and digestion.

IS OUR SHILAJIT SAFE?
Yes. Our Shilajit has been tested under stringent safety-and-control-processing method. The following heavy metals of less than 1 ppm were found:
Lead (Pb) = 0.002%
Arsenic (As) = 0.0005%
Mercury (Hg) = 0.0001%

WHAT FORM DOES OUR SHILAJIT COME IN?
Our Shilajit™ comes in a fine, free-flowing powder in a vegetable capsule.
