Punarnava is used to support proper function of the heart, liver, and kidneys and to promote comfortable movement of the joints for those with kapha constitutions and imbalances. It promotes healthy weight management. Punarnava also supports the healthy elimination of urine and comfortable fluid levels in the tissues
Shilajit "is a potent and safe dietary supplement, potentially able to prevent several diseases" "its actions benefit cognition and prevent Alzheimer's disease. Considering the expected impact of shilajit applications in the medical field, especially in neurological sciences, more investigations at the basic biological level are necessary, and certainly well-developed clinical trials, in order to understand how its active principles act at molecular and cellular levels.” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3296184/
Here is some of the recent research done with Shilajit. "It was found to contain fulvic acid, humic acid, albuminoids, Di benzo alpha pyrones,chemo proteins, macro minerals like potassium, chlorine, sodium, calcium, phosphorous,magnesium, zinc, iron, manganese, copper iodine, selenium, moybdenum, sulfur, cobalt,nickel, chromium, fluorine, boron, strontium, silicon, vanadium etc. These minerals are in ionic form.
