WHAT IS PRIMAVIE®?
PrimaVie® is a patented, purified, and standardized shilajit dietary supplement ingredient (protected under U.S. Patents 7,250,181, 6,869,612, 6,440,436, 6,558,712, and other pending U.S. and foreign patents) developed to provide energy to the body and mind.
WHO IS BEHIND THE DEVELOPMENT OF PRIMAVIE®?
PrimaVie® is the ultimate shilajit ingredient established by Dr. Shibnath Ghosal, respected and retired Chief Science Officer of Natreon, Inc. Dr. Ghosal is a world-renowned natural-product scientist who has been studying the exudate for more than 30 years.
WHY IS SHILAJIT UNIQUE?
The bioactives present in shilajit have survived hundreds of millions of years of evolution. These bioactives are still present in humans and other animals and provide an energy source. These discoveries have led many scientists to believe that the bioactives found in shilajit may be essential for the existence of life on earth.
WHAT SETS PRIMAVIE® SHILAJIT APART?
Regular shilajit is a pale brown to blackish-brown exudation of variable consistencies, found in fissures of sedimentary rocks worldwide, at altitudes of 1,000 to 5,000 meters. Unfortunately, regular shilajit has no chemical definition. It is well-known that ill-defined dietary-supplement ingredients of natural origin can vary significantly from one another with respect to bioactive constituents; hence the performance and safety also varies. With PrimaVie®, Natreon is able to guarantee only the most potent and safe shilajit for use in dietary-supplement or health formulations. The shilajit in PrimaVie® is obtained from carefully selected shilajit-bearing rocks. It is then put through Natreon's patented technology, which produces a consistent purified and standardized compound, assuring optimal levels of bioactive components.
WHAT IS THE PRIMARY FUNCTION OF PRIMAVIE®?
PrimaVie® assists in the maintenance and regeneration of normal physiological functions by acting as an energy currency, or biocatalyst, in the body.
DOES PRIMAVIE® PROVIDE ANY BENEFITS OTHER THAN ENERGY ENHANCEMENT?
Modern research has shown that shilajit increases immunity, strength, and endurance; it strengthens cognitive ability, heightens libido, and functions as a transporter/carrier to more efficiently drive other nutrients into the body. As an adaptogen, it helps reduce stress, strengthen the immune system, and reduce allergies.
WHAT IS AN ADAPTOGEN?
By definition, an adaptogen is a substance that:
  • Demonstrates nonspecific balancing effects, such as increased resistance to physical or biological stressors
  • Possesses a normalizing influence on the body and mind
  • Does not disturb functions already within a normal range
As an adaptogen, shilajit provides vitality and well-being by restoring lost DBPs and DCPs. It also balances and normalizes functions such as blood pressure, hormone levels, energy production, and digestion.
IS PRIMAVIE® SAFE?
Yes. PrimaVie® has been tested under Natreon Inc.'s stringent safety-and-control-processing method. The following heavy metals of less than 1 ppm were found:

Lead (Pb) ≤ 0.002%
Arsenic (As) ≤ 0.0005%
Mercury (Hg) ≤ 0.0001%
WHAT FORM DOES PRIMAVIE® COME IN?
PrimaVie® comes in a fine, free-flowing powder.
