I’m Aaron, the founder of ROCKSAP.
I have been immersed in the world of health and natural nutrition since I was a kid. I grew up on a plant based diet and my family ran a natural health retreat and education center during my teenage years. I remember getting my first edible plant manual and going on adventures into the woods to hunt for wild ginseng, carrots, dandelions, and whatever else I could find that was edible. I found it magical to search for wild ingredients that have been used for thousands of years to treat everyday ailments. Fast forward to 2017 and my thirst for adventure took me to Asia. While living in China and studying Mandarin, I was introduced to the wildest ingredient of all; Himalayan Shilajit. A mineral sap that oozes out of rocks high in the Himalayan Mountains. I came to learn that this sap had been used by locals for thousands of years, and is revered in ancient Ayurvedic writings as the “conqueror of mountains”. Intrigued yet? I was too.
After getting my hands on some Shilajit straight out of a small village in Nepal, I began dosing myself with it, and almost instantly noticed some interesting changes. My hair and nails began to grow noticeably faster. I remember looking at my credit card to make an online purchase, and instead of glancing back and forth from each set of numbers like I used to, I was able to remember the entire card number on the first try. I had more energy in the day and I was sleeping better. Then my Chinese language classes started to get easier. It wasn’t long before I was telling all of my friends and family about this “miracle sap that oozes out of rocks in the Himalayas”.
I came to understand what makes this sap so powerful is that it contains dense ancient nutrition that no longer exists in our daily diets. Most of us are deficient in some, or many, of the minerals that help our bodies absorb nutrition, adapt to stress, fight off sickness and maintain energy.
Shilajit contains fulvic acid, magnesium, iron, zinc selenium, 85 trace minerals, B, C, and E vitamins, and much more!
The more I learned about Shilajit, the more I wanted to share it with the world. So I set up shop on Amazon and began shuttling loads of Shilajit straight from Nepal, to my hometown in Missouri, where I would bottle it myself and send it out to anyone interested in trying it. It wasn’t long before word of mouth started spreading and I finally grew out of the little lab I had set up in my basement. Years later, I still haven’t stopped searching for magical ingredients to help the human body heal. Some I’ve found are simple and cheap, like Lugol’s iodine. 90% of Americans are deficient in iodine, which can cause a host of common day symptoms. Some are a little more wild, like Siberian Chaga mushrooms, which help our immune system, gut health, and heart!
Needless to say, founding and running ROCKSAP has granted me the opportunity of a lifetime; to live out my childhood dream of discovering crazy new ways to naturally treat illness. I will continue to strive for excellence in every product I source and sell, and I hope you will consider joining the journey with me.
All The Best,

I just cruised past 70 in November. When I tell people about taking shilajit these past 14 months, they stumble over the name and maybe make a joke about it. I smile because I get to be me, wide awake and in stupendous health. My strength and flexibility have never been better. I have some knowledge of the efforts involved to offer this product in the purest possible form. Plenty of slick imitations are available but none are as potent and effective. And why not imitations? Shilajit was reputed to be brain food for Aristotle. So my review is…. don’t be fooled by the diluted versions when you’ve got a connection with the way nutrition used to be but isn’t anymore.
After using shilajit for 3 months to help my muscular dystrophy I noticed that I have no cravings for caffeine and alcohol and I also gained muscle mass. Overall my health improved.
I was skeptical at first as to how this would impact my body. I have high blood pressure and heart disease runs in the family. Add to the fact that I am about 30 pounds overweight and figured it was time to give this a try. This was recommended to me by my nutritionist. He spoke very highly of it and takes the product himself. Within about 3-4 days I could already tell it was helping. I felt like I had more energy during the day, slept better at night and woke up feeling better as well. The real benefits are what it is doing to my body internally but those are some of the external benefits I felt right away. After taking this twice a day (morning and night) my blood pressure is down and I have more energy to start being more active. I am not a workout kind of guy nor an all natural guy either. I love my pizza, cocktails and sweets. This has really helped me start getting my health under control. I highly recommend this as it will definitely improve how you feel each day.
After Pablo heard about Shilajit he thought about giving it to his daughter who had Crohn's disease and was taking powerful and harmful medicine every day just to decrease her symptoms. Within 6 weeks of beginning Shilajit she was completely off of her medication and to this day she says she feels better than ever.
