about shilala
shilala bars were born out of a desire to share the myriad health benefits of shilajit with our family & friends.
First, we tried to get them to take the resin. To quote my 93-year old grandma “that is the worst thing I’ve ever had in my entire life.”
Then we tried to get them to swallow the capsules … but the capsules were “too big” or “too boring” et cetera et cetera. To be honest – we’re not big fans of the powder either --- nutrients are depleted during the dehydration process & the capsule absorption process causes you to miss out on the energy boost you get from the resin.
Then we thought – hey, what about gummies? So we looked into that for approximately .02 seconds … & were turned off (read: absolutely repulsed) by the additives, sugar alcohols and generally nutrient deficient ingredients.
Then we thought … hmm … how about a bar? Through many months of trial & error and guinea-pig testing on not only ourselves but also our nearest & dearest, we landed on a clean, nutritious & addictive bar featuring an insane 1000 mg (thats 1 gram!) of shilajit per bar. Packing as much shilajit as possible into the bar was very important to us; as important as the other ingredients being all natural, healthy and organic.
There’s nothing on our label you can’t pronounce … except shilajit.
