Organic Shilajit Tonic 16 oz

This tonic is contained within a dark-colored, 16 oz. glass bottle, which makes me so happy. The dark coloring appropriately protects the liquid inside from sustaining light-induced damage, and the glass material does not pose the same contamination concerns as an irredeemable material like plastic would. The bottle’s lid is typically easy for me to open with my weak, painful hands, but it arrived screwed shut very tightly, making it a painful struggle for me to open initially. Once my hands had become red and raw, I actually gave up and had to wait for my husband to get home so that he could open it for me. At least it didn’t arrive leaky, I guess. No dropper tube or measuring cup is included, but the dosage is listed in tablespoons, so if you’ve got one of those, you’re good to go. Per the label’s instructions, one tablespoon of this tonic should be taken daily before meals, but 2 tablespoons can be taken for optimal effect.Examining the bottle’s labeling, I see quality-related boasts that this product is sugar-free, vegan, 100% natural, Halal, and 100% organic. Specifically, I see listed that it’s “made with pure, natural ingredients and no artificial additives, preservatives, or fillers.” I don’t see any indication as to where it was made or from where its ingredients were sourced, but I do see that it was formulated for a Florida-based company whose full address and phone number are indicated. Comparing the listed Nutrition Facts and Ingredients to those shown in the product images, I see that they match exactly. Something that I noticed and loved about how these are displayed in the product images that holds true on the product’s labeling itself is that the ingredients, which are necessarily very detailed, have the main word of each ingredient bolded so that it’s much easier to skim the list to get an idea of what’s basically included. I’m super impressed with this idea, which I think should be an industry standard. I also love the collection of ingredients featured in this blend and especially that the water used is Reverse Osmosis Water. A note Included with the bottle states in both English and Spanish that this product should be refrigerated after opening, that you should shake it well before each use, and that if the flavor is too strong or bitter, it dilutes well into juice or a smoothie for a more palatable experience.The liquid itself tastes like a vibrant chai tea, just as another reviewer mentioned. It’s slightly sweet, and I didn’t find it to be unpalatably bitter (noting that I rarely sweeten my tea or coffee). I actually think it’s incredibly delicious, and there’s no way I’d want to mask the flavor.Overall, this is what I consider a premium product, and I highly recommend it.

The tonic has a very earthy, slightly bitter taste that takes some getting used to. I felt a gentle lift in energy and focus after regular use, and it seems supportive for overall wellness. The 16-ounce bottle provides a decent number of servings, though the flavor might be challenging for some.

This stuff is great! No midday slump, it tastes good and definitely lives up to what it says. I am a 40+ year old woman and I have lots of energy since starting to take this. It is highly effective for me. This tonic will be part of my regimen from now on.

The flavor of this tonic is interesting. It kind of reminds me of chai tea but with a hint of a bitter flavor, and it's slightly sweet. The package insert says to mix it with a cup of juice or smoothie if the flavor is to strong or bitter; however, according to the bottle a serving size is only 1 TBSP so you wouldn't taste it at all if you did that. For me, if I'm going to bother taking a tonic for certain desired health benefits, I want the enjoy the flavor, so I would recommend adding it to hot or cold chai tea if you're going to add it to anything. Speaking of health benefits, the product is said to support vitality, wellness, physical performance, and overall well-being. I can't say whether these claims are true, so you should research the individual ingredients to determine if the blend might be an overall benefit to your own health.
