Shilajit is an ancient substance know as the “destroyer of weakness.” Shilajit is a sticky brown resin that comes from layers of rock in several mountain ranges throughout the world. Merkabody Shilajit is harvested and processed locally in the Rocky Mountains by Blue Eagle. This potent natural ingredient develops over centuries from the slow decomposition of plants. Traditionally used in Ayurvedic Medicine, Shilajit is an effective supplement that can have a positive and noticeable effect on your overall health and well being. It is rich in fulvic and humic acids, which are documented to be a strong antioxidant to improve your body’s immunity. Antioxidants also protect against free radicals and cellular damage.  Fulvic acid may help restore your body’s trace minerals, leading to better daytime energy and better sleep, may support your brain health and cognition, and assist in pain management. Shilajit also contains 84 trace minerals and humic acid. We no longer receive enough trace minerals from our diets, as soils are depleted. Daily shilajit is an easy way to receive the trace minerals your body needs. Regular use of shilajit may contribute to longevity, a slower aging process, and overall better health.

Nanoemulsion is a process which involves the use of ultrasonic waves to pressurize and shatter individual CBD molecules into dozens of exponentially smaller nanoparticles. This process makes the CBD very small to easily enter the bloodstream. This process improves the bioavailability of any product. Advantages to nanoemulsion include, greater absorption, fast acting and increases potency.

CBD oil is not water-soluble, meaning that it cannot mix with water or shilajit, but mixing the two is possible through nano-emulsion. Our emulsion process involves the use of fat and water, using an emulsifier that is both hydrophilic (water soluble) and lipophilic (fat soluble) at once. When placed in fat, CBD nanoparticles dissolve, and their surfaces become coated in layers of fat. This protective coating allows CBD to dissolve before it is dispersed in the bloodstream, thus forcing CBD and water or shilajit to mix. The benefit is that the formula will feel more potent while using less product. 

Ormus or ORME, are mono-atomic elements derived from water and ancient salt, believed to exist in the supraphysical realm or the astral. Ormus, is one of many terms used to refer to what scientists have appropriately termed the fifth state of matter.   The Ormus elements respond to consciousness, meaning it can be programed.  They are also superconductors that assist in the processing of energy in the physical body. These elements are viewed as the perfect bridge between worlds, processing the path of energy from Spirit to Soul, to mind, then to body. The body has various connections to Soul and to the spiritual current. Some call these connections chakras, and they are also known by other names. These connections are believed to process energy most efficiently when Ormus elements are present. Ormus greatly enhances consciousness and as well as the power of the mind in what you perceive and project. Ormus tunes you into your body’s innate wisdom in both your inner and outer worlds. It enhances mental/physical health through increased flow of energy and your ability to work with and direct this energy It has been shown to balance the hemispheres of the brain, and increase temperature.

Ormus has been referred to as manna, essence of life, Philosophers’ Stone, Egyptian mfkzt, African shem-an-na, the elixir of life, atomic gold and white gold.
