Shilajit is a natural substance found mainly in the Himalayas, formed over centuries by the gradual decomposition of certain plants by the action of the elements. It is composed of a complex mixture of minerals and organic matter, and is reputed to have a wide range of health benefits. These include its use as a rejuvenating tonic, as an anti-aging compound, and for its purported ability to increase levels of testosterone in men. Although there is some scientific evidence to support these claims, further research is needed to confirm their efficacy.

Magnesium glycinate and magnesium are both types of magnesium supplements, but magnesium glycinate is regarded as the best-absorbed and the gentlest on the stomach. Magnesium citrate is most helpful for constipation, while magnesium glycinate is more useful for various conditions. Magnesium glycinate is usually safer to take every day within recommended guidelines, with fewer side effects such as upset stomach or loose stools. However, high doses from supplements or medications can cause nausea, abdominal cramping, and diarrhea. Magnesium glycinate is formed from elemental magnesium and the amino acid glycine, making it one of the most bioavailable and absorbable forms of magnesium, while also the safest option for correcting a long-term deficiency. More commonly, magnesium glycinate is found in capsule form.
