A few facts about Mumijo

Mumijo (Shilajit) has been used for millennia as a rejuvenation and anti-inflammatory remedy and the best herbal carrier of energy and nutrition into the human body. Modern science has supported that premise by identifying fulvic and humic acids, which are found in abundance in Mumijo.

Mumijo contains organic and inorganic elements, like:

Fulvic, Folic and Humic acids; Iron; Zinc; Magnesium; Copper; Nickel; Potassium; Manganese; Silicon; Silver; Sodium; Sulfur; Iodine; Strontium; Rubidium; Cesium; Barium; Phosphorus; Chromium; Antimony; Vanadium; Molybdenum; Carotenoids retinol, Terpenoids; B, C, E vitamins; Melanoidin; Benzoic acid; Polyphenol complexes; Dibenzo-alpha pyrones; Phospholipids Triterpenes and Phenolic acids; Albuminoids; Bioflavonoids; Hippuric and Oxalic acid; Tannic acid; Glycosides

Humins and Humic Acids, including Fulvic acid, have antibacterial and antiviral properties. Those acids sometimes replace standard antibiotics in animal agriculture. With respect to skin conditions, you may apply it directly to the problem to speed up the skin regeneration.

Manganese slows down the aging of the skin and the development of wrinkles. It also improves the tensile strength and elasticity of the skin.

Copper makes skin healthier by promoting collagen. It is a protein produced by the cells to ‘hold’ the skin together, promoting skin regeneration and reducing wrinkles. Deficiency of copper is also linked to depigmentation of the skin.

Silicon is another important component of collagen formation as well as one of the most abundant trace minerals in Shilajit. Without collagen, your skin would perpetually sag!

Organic selenium and zinc have a general role in normal skin development and function. They protect skin from UV radiation, providing a safe and effective means to reduce UVR exposure. People with low content of these elements often have skin abnormalities.

Retinol, Vitamin B and Copper are necessary for each step in the healing process. When they are combined with Fulvic Acid and Silicon, inflammation is reduced, and the formation of new skin cells is enhanced.

Vitamin E and C work closely together to repair and protect damaged skin tissues as well as retain moisture.

that's very interesting.
So what actually is it?
A mineral, crystal? And how would you take it?

The fact is that we don't really know what it actualy is or the way this substance was formed. The scientists only agree that it may take hundreds or even thousands years to form it.
Considering large numbers of organic material, it may  be mummified remnants of some kind of organic.

In holistic medicine it usually used to treat wounds, it accelerates the process of regeneration.
It can be also taken internally (small amounts, in the morning, daily) - it boosts your immune system.
