Restock expected. Mumijo, often called "mountain balm" or "mountain tear," is the most potent and purified form of Shilajit—a resinous, mineral-rich substance formed over centuries in high-altitude mountain ranges like the Altai Mountains and Siberia. Known for its revitalizing and adaptogenic effects, Mumijo has been cherished across wellness traditions for thousands of years, used to promote energy, resilience, mental clarity, and recovery. While Shilajit contains various beneficial compounds, Mumijo is further purified to remove impurities like sand, soil, and heavy metals, offering a cleaner, more nutrient-dense resin.

Mumijo: The Purest Form of Shilajit
What is Mumijo?
Mumijo, often called "mountain balm" or "mountain tear," is the most potent and purified form of Shilajit—a resinous, mineral-rich substance formed over centuries in high-altitude mountain ranges like the Altai Mountains and Siberia. Known for its revitalizing and adaptogenic effects, Mumijo has been cherished across wellness traditions for thousands of years, used to promote energy, resilience, mental clarity, and recovery.
While Shilajit contains various beneficial compounds, Mumijo is further purified to remove impurities like sand, soil, and heavy metals, offering a cleaner, more nutrient-dense resin. This refined form is easily absorbed, making it ideal for those seeking the most potent wellness support from nature.
How Mumijo Stands Out from Shilajit
Mumijo is distinguished by its purity and nutrient concentration. Although both Shilajit and Mumijo form in similar environments, not all Shilajit meets the purity standards to be classified as Mumijo. Raw Shilajit may contain impurities that affect its effectiveness and safety. Mumijo undergoes an additional purification process to ensure a balanced mineral profile and higher bioactive compound concentration, making it suitable for people with specific health needs.
In essence, Mumijo is a premium, highly refined form of Shilajit designed to deliver maximum nutrient potency and support without contaminants, ideal for those seeking an elevated wellness experience.
Unique Formation Process of Mumijo
Mumijo’s formation is an extraordinary natural process occurring over hundreds to thousands of years. High-altitude ranges like the Himalayas and Altai Mountains provide the conditions necessary for this transformation, as ancient plant matter decomposes under high pressure, temperature fluctuations, and microbial activity. Combined with mineral-rich rock, these factors create Shilajit, which, when refined, becomes exceptionally pure Mumijo.
This formation process is unique to environments generally above 10,000 feet, where clean air and isolation from pollutants ensure the purity of Mumijo’s organic material. As a result, Mumijo contains a concentrated blend of fulvic and humic acids and essential minerals preserved over centuries.
Nutrient-Rich Composition of Mumijo
Mumijo is celebrated for its high concentration of fulvic acid, humic acid, and essential minerals, each contributing to its broad wellness benefits:
Fulvic Acid: Enhances cellular nutrient absorption, acting as a transporter that supports energy production, detoxification, and cellular repair.
Humic Acid: Offers antioxidant protection, helping combat free radicals and supporting immune function.
Essential Minerals: Contains over 80 essential minerals, including: Calcium for bone health and cellular function. Magnesium for muscle relaxation, nerve function, and energy. Zinc for immune support and hormonal balance. Iron for oxygen transport and red blood cell health.
Historical and Traditional Uses of Mumijo
Mumijo has a rich history spanning over 3,000 years, known not only in Babylon and Persia but also in Egypt, Greece, Rome, and across Asia. The word "Mumijo" is thought to derive from a Greek term meaning "body-preserving," a testament to its revered status in ancient times. In Ayurveda, Mumijo is known as Shilajit, while Tibetan medicine calls it "mountain oil." Historical texts document its use for promoting vitality, mental clarity, and physical resilience, comparing it to other prized natural tonics like ginseng.
Ancient healers in Persia, India, and Tibet traditionally used Mumijo as a rejuvenating tonic, a tradition that persists today. It was widely respected for its potential to support stamina and overall wellness, particularly in high-altitude regions where environmental stressors required enhanced resilience. Today, Mumijo continues to be prized for its adaptogenic properties, supporting the body’s natural balance.
Key Benefits and Modern Applications
With its adaptogenic properties and nutrient-dense profile, Mumijo is valued for:
Energy and Vitality: The rich mineral profile in Mumijo supports cellular energy and oxygen transport, making it a natural choice for enhancing physical endurance and stamina.
Cognitive Health: Fulvic acid and essential minerals support cognitive function, mental clarity, and focus, aiding those with active and demanding lifestyles.
Skin and Hair Health: Traditionally used to support skin elasticity and hair strength, Mumijo’s mineral content promotes natural collagen production and antioxidant support.
Storage Advice
The hardness of Mumijo varies with ambient temperature. At cold temeratures the resin will shatter like glass. Always keep Mumijo in a sealed grip bag to prevent it from absorbing moisture from the air. Store it in a cool place, but avoid refrigeration, as fridge humidity can make it sticky.

Our Mumijo is sourced from the high mountains of Siberia, where it undergoes a meticulous purification process using cold water extraction and extensive filtration to eliminate any trace of heavy metals. This results in a fully purified resin that is 100% water-soluble and rich in fulvic and humic acids. In contrast, the raw form of Mumijo, often referred to as Shilajit, typically comes from India. Common Shilajit is generally of lower quality and often contains coarse residues and impurities.
