Shilajit is a natural mineral-rich substance that forms in high mountain regions like the Himalayas over centuries. Plant matter and microorganisms compress between rock layers and slowly release a resin rich in fulvic acid, humic substances, and 84+ trace minerals.

Fulvic acid (verified >75%), humic substances, and a wide spectrum of trace minerals in ionic form. Sourced from the Kumaon region of the Indian Himalayas and third-party tested for purity and heavy metals.

Shilajit has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years to support energy, stamina, mental clarity, and overall vitality. Modern interest focuses on its role in supporting mitochondrial function (cellular energy), nutrient absorption, and physical recovery.

Same shilajit, different format. The Jar is pure raw resin you scoop and dissolve in warm water. Tablets are the same resin pressed into convenient form for daily use and travel. Both are just as effective as the other in terms of potency.

Once daily, with or without food. Jar: dissolve a pea-sized scoop in your coffee, tea or hot water. Tablets: 2 tablets swallowed with water. Many people take it in the morning or early afternoon.

Some people notice changes in energy or clarity within a few weeks. Traditional use focuses on gradual, long-term support.

Properly purified and tested shilajit has a long history of safe daily use. Equil shilajit is third-party tested for heavy metals and active compounds. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication, or managing a medical condition, speak with a healthcare professional before starting.

The Kumaon region of the Indian Himalayas, a remote, high-altitude area with mineral-rich rock and minimal industrial activity. Every batch is purified and laboratory-tested before bottling.

A plant-derived supplement made from Griffonia simplicifolia seeds (sourced from Ghana). 5-HTP is a precursor to serotonin, the neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood, sleep, and appetite. 100mg per capsule, >99% purity, no fillers.

Most products advertise 200mg at 10% concentration. That's only 20mg of actual 5-HTP. Equil offers 100mg at >99% purity, third-party tested for active compound concentration, heavy metals, and pesticide residues. No fillers, binders, or flow-aids.

Equil's is natural, extracted from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia using a water extraction process (not alcohol).

Most people take it in the evening to support sleep and mood. Some take it in the morning for stress and calm. Take with water on an empty stomach (or with a light snack if it upsets your stomach).

Some notice mood or sleep improvements within a few days. For others it takes 2 to 4 weeks. We offer a 90-day money-back guarantee so you can test it properly.

Yes, most people take it daily for sustained support. Some prefer to cycle (e.g. 5 days on, 2 days off). Either approach works.

For most people it works gradually rather than in a sedative manner. If you find evening doses leave you groggy, try a smaller dose or take it earlier.

No, 5-HTP should not be combined with SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs, or other serotonin-affecting medications without medical supervision. Always check with your doctor first.

Tryptophan is the amino acid your body converts into 5-HTP, which then becomes serotonin. Taking 5-HTP directly skips the first step and may raise serotonin more efficiently than tryptophan.
