QUICK SUMMARY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shilajit is a complementary feed for dogs and cats with 450 mg shilajit per capsule, of which 90 mg is fulvic acid?<\/span><\/span><\/span>. Shilajit contains fulvic acid, dibenzo-alpha-pyrones?<\/span><\/span><\/span> and minerals. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What’s in this supplement?<\/h2>\n

Each capsule contains 450 mg shilajit, of which 90 mg is fulvic acid. The capsule shell is made of HPMC and is therefore plant-based. <\/p>\n

What does Shilajit do?<\/h2>\n

Shilajit is a natural product from rock containing fulvic acid, dibenzo-alpha-pyrones and minerals. It is a supplement to the daily diet. <\/p>\n

The biochemistry per ingredient<\/h2>\n

What is shilajit?<\/h3>\n

Shilajit is formed by plant remains being very slowly converted in rock crevices of high mountains. It is a mixture of many organic substances and minerals. The composition varies by origin. <\/p>\n

Fulvic acid<\/h3>\n

Fulvic acid is a component of humus, the substance also found in soil. The molecules are relatively small and have many acidic groups. These groups can bind minerals and other metal particles, which is why you shouldn’t give it at the same time as iron. <\/p>\n

Dibenzo-alpha-pyrones<\/h3>\n

These are small substances found in shilajit. They are being researched in relation to coenzyme Q10?<\/span><\/span><\/span> and the mitochondria?<\/span><\/span><\/span>, the cell’s energy factories. <\/p>\n

Purification<\/h3>\n

Raw shilajit can contain heavy metals. Quality therefore depends heavily on purification and testing. <\/p>\n

How strong is this evidence?<\/strong> The composition of shilajit is reasonably well-described, but varies by origin. Research mainly comes from cell and animal trials and a few human studies. Specific data for dogs and cats is largely lacking. <\/p>\n

Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Can I combine shilajit with iron?<\/h3>\n

Don’t give these at the same time and consult your vet first.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
