There are 3 substances that work better than any synthetic supplement on the market.

Shilajit sourced above 16,000 feet carries all 20 amino acids, a full spectrum that a lot of meat doesn’t have. David Reid, founder of Manna Vitality, lab-tested around 30 suppliers to find the sources that hold up.

His path ran through with 88 nights at the Dead Sea, time at Mount Kailash in Tibet, and mentorship from Nassim Haramein, Bruce Lipton, and biophysicist William Brown. The product line came out of that, not the other way around.

David breaks down why gold shows up in sacred places around the world, why not all shilajit is equal, and why their ocean plasma is ten times more concentrated than Quinton’s hypertonic solution.

The trouble with isolated, synthetic supplements comes up, and why most people would probably feel better if they stopped taking theirs. The conversation moves into sungazing, the sun as nourishment, and what I noticed on a five-day dry fast when even water felt like it pulled me out of a different realm.



For anyone rethinking what a supplement really is, this one changes the frame.
