Pure Himalayan Shilajit Sticks with Organic Honey & Cinnamon (30 Count)

Reviewing: BARGAD Pure Himalayan Shilajit Sticks with Organic Honey & Cinnamon (7 Count) | Easy Single Use Shilajit Sticks | Boosts Energy & Immunity with 85+ Trace Minerals, 75%+ Fulvic Acid

Yum! I like honey and its health benefits in general but these have a unique flavor and very mild blend of cinnamon that I really enjoyed. Like other organic honeys, these are a bit grainy but the shilajit flavor is rich and deep. I haven't used them long enough to speak about health benefits, but they don't make me feel worse! I enjoy the honey straight from the pack once a day, but I think it might also go well in tea. Packets are convenient and open easily. Pricey compared to honey in general, but reasonably priced compared to vitamins or supplements.

The Pure Himalayan Shilajit Sticks with Organic Honey & Cinnamon is a good product, easy to take in individual daily use packets that you can either take straight from the pack or mix with liquid to drink. Honestly, I've taken many shilajit products over the past few years, the original form - which was horrible and possibly the worst way, to the gummies and even the pill form, and although none of them were horrible compared to the original, the benefits of each are different. With this version, there are some benefits to it being pre-measured into the sticks and they are meant to give you a boost in energy as well as other positive effects. In the short time I've taken these, I cannot say I love taking them because the taste isn't the greatest, but it's definitely better than the original. These are more like a honey, much easier to ingest and swallow, lighter than the original shilajit products that are marketed, but still not the best way to take it. The product itself does come with an inspection report certifying the product passes a quality test, a no metal contamination test and no microbiological contamination for the batch received based on ISO standards, which makes me feel less concerned about where the product comes from and if it is of the best possible quality.

The product I received is a cinnamon flavored honey style shilajit, which does not really have a bad smell, more of a sweet coffee like scent. The texture is much easier to handle compared to original shilajit, but not sure of the benefits as I have only noticed a bit of extra energy on the days I've taken it so far and helps with hunger control, I haven't had any side effects or bad reaction to the product, but will continue to take it and see by the end of the supply what differences I feel. Honestly, if a little energy boost is all I get, and a thinner waist line, I guess it is better than nothing! Price is fair for the amount received and is in line with similar products.

I've been curious about trying Shilajit for some time now and this seemed like a great option to try it out. Knowing that it's a resin I didn't expect it to taste great and had a pretty good idea of what to expect. The added honey and cinnamon help make it more palatable, but it's light on the cinnamon flavor and still very heavy on the resin. I really didn't mind the taste initially and after a day or two I was used to it and I venture to say I even liked it. I tried several methods of timing as well as taking on an empty stomach and with food. I found this to work best for me when taken first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. I didn't notice any immediate results the first day, but the second day I noticed I was pushing myself harder in my morning workout and while I didn't necessary feel like I had more body power it was more mental motivation and power behind it for me. Either way, I'll take it and I believe the product delivered on it's potential benefits for me. I finished the 7 day supply a week ago and after about 4 days I haven't felt the same motivation and power in my workouts. I intended to incorporate Shilajit back into my daily supplements/routine. I like this brand and having the honey added as well as the ease of using the honey sticks and/or taking them with you on the go and that there's no mess, but I do think they are a bit pricey for a 7 day supply. I will likely stick with this brand for now, but may explore more options in the future and hope for the same positive results and ease of use. The reason I'm giving 4 out of 5 stars is due to both the price and that I wish it was disclosed what type of cinnamon is used as I would like to see Ceylon Cinnamon in the ingredient list as opposed to just Cinnamon (which I'm assuming is likely Cassia Cinnamon).
