Nico Zabalza is the founder of my favorite shilajit company Black Lotus Shilajit.

Black Lotus Mission Statement:

Our Mission is to help people reach optimal health by bringing awareness of Shilajit and its benefits, while providing the highest quality possible.

Black Lotus Shilajit LLC was founded in July of 2019 in Melbourne, FL. We are a Family Team of dedicated individuals who share a passion for health & wellness. We have over 30 years combined experience with herbs, nutrition, and supplements.

We began selling Shilajit at local farmers markets and today we are in 250 stores throughout the world.

The Black Lotus represents the Shilajit blossoming from the mountain as a gift to humanity. After witnessing the benefits of Shilajit again and again, we decided to create Black Lotus as our gift to humanity. The lotus flower grows out of thick, fertile mud. This is similar to how Shilajit acts in our lives; by providing a nourished & balanced body to bloom in and feel our best.

We take great care in sourcing and providing the best Shilajit on the planet. It is always pure, it is always raw, and it is always potent. Our source is a family who has been harvesting Shilajit in the area for generations

Takeaways

Shilajit is a mineral pitch that is rich in antioxidants, minerals, and rare compounds. Shilajit can enhance energy, mental clarity, and overall well-being. There are different types of Shilajit, with the pitch black variety being the most mineral-rich. Shilajit is traditionally processed using water, without the use of harsh acids or alcohol.
Shilajit can be taken in various forms, including resin, tablets, tinctures, and even honey. Shilajit can be beneficial for digestion, as it does not need to be digested and can be absorbed directly. Shilajit can be blended with honey or mixed with vegetable glycerin for easier consumption. High-quality glycerin derived from coconut oil is preferred for its safety and effectiveness. Taking Shilajit with lipids, such as milk or coconut oil, can enhance absorption and assimilation.
The recommended dosage of Shilajit varies based on individual needs, with 250 milligrams as a maintenance dose. Purity and heavy metal testing are crucial when choosing a Shilajit product. Automation and growth in the Shilajit industry present challenges but also opportunities for expansion.
