Chemical Constituents and Components: Main components are 50% fulvic acid, uronic acid, phenolic glucosides, benzopyrones, hippuric acid, biphenyl metabolites, amino acids, phenols, and 85 minerals.

Action :
Fulvic acid:
1. It regulates and controls blood sugar levels and shows hypoglycemic action.
2. It increases the permeability of cell membranes.
3. It accelerates processes of protein and nucleic acid metabolism.
4. It acts as a free radical scavenger and reverses the damage done by toxic substances.
5. It helps to transport nutrients deep into tissue.
6. It restores electrochemical balance and supports the immune system.
7. It promotes movement of minerals, especially calcium, phosphorus and magnesium into muscle tissue and bones.

Benzopyrone:
1. It inhibits the growth of the brain tumor cells.
2. It inhibits the growth of gram-positive bacteria.
Curing Diseases:1. It cures obesity by burning excess body fat and balances the body metabolism.
2. It is helpful in curing type II diabetes by regulating blood sugar level.
3. It is helpful in arthritis, rheumatism and in joint pains.
4. It is helpful in genito-urinary diseases.

Research Information: Effects of shilajit and its possible combinations with glibenclamide and metformin found very significant against glucose lowering ability and improvement in lipid profile. (Trivedi.N.A., Effect of Shilajit on blood glucose and lipid profile in diabetes, medind, 04/07)

Possible Combinations:Shilajit + glibenclamide (very effective in decreasing blood glucose level)
