Remineral and Mumio represent two different ways of thinking about the role of mineral and natural organic substances in nutrition. Water enriched with Remineral contributes to the intake of selected minerals and electrolytes, while mumio is a natural complex of substances including fulvic acids. Their combination can be understood as complementary — the mineral foundation from water and the broad spectrum of natural compounds from mumio meet within the body's everyday physiological processes.
Hydration and Remineral: water as a transport system
Most people think of hydration as a simple equation: the more water we drink, the better. In reality, however, hydration is a far more complex process. It is not only about the volume of fluids consumed, but also about the body's ability to absorb water properly, distribute it to the tissues and retain it where it is truly needed.
Water — the foundation of life
Water makes up approximately 60% of the human body and serves as the medium for most biological processes. It is involved in transporting nutrients, removing waste products, regulating body temperature and supporting cell function. Yet consuming water alone does not automatically guarantee optimal hydration. For water to be used efficiently, it needs to work in concert with other elements in the body.
Electrolytes — the control system for water movement
Electrolytes govern the movement of water between different parts of the body and at the same time support the proper function of the nervous system, muscles and energy metabolism. Without sufficient electrolytes, water may pass through the body less efficiently — for example during prolonged consumption of distilled water without mineralisation.
Osmotic balance — water flows where it is needed
The human body continuously balances the concentrations of minerals and fluids between the internal and external environments of cells. This process ensures that water flows to where it is needed. If the balance is disrupted, cells may lose water or, conversely, retain it excessively — the result can be reduced cell performance and impaired functioning of the whole organism.
The cellular environment — where hydration is decided
The quality of hydration is ultimately determined at the level of individual cells. A healthy cellular environment requires not only sufficient water, but also an optimal balance of minerals, trace elements and other substances that support cellular metabolism. Only then can cells effectively produce energy, regenerate and carry out their functions.

Mumio through the lens of traditional cultures
Long before modern biochemistry existed, people observed that certain natural substances occur in environments rich in minerals and specific geological processes. Mountain regions became the source of many traditionally valued substances — among them mumio (shilajit), which forms through the action of time and pressure, combining microorganisms and plant matter in high mountain massifs.
The Himalayas – Altai – Caucasus: the cradle of mountain resins
Mumio is traditionally found in rock crevices at high altitudes. Local cultures regarded it for centuries as a remarkable natural product arising at the boundary between the plant and mineral worlds.
For local inhabitants, mountain regions represented a source not only of water and minerals, but also of unique natural substances formed over long natural cycles. Mumio was part of traditional knowledge passed down between generations.
The mountain environment with its diverse geology and rich vegetation creates ideal conditions for the formation of various natural organo-mineral substances. This combination of natural factors attracted the attention of local cultures for many centuries.
In traditional Ayurveda, mumio — known by the name shilajit — appears as part of a broader view of bodily balance. What mattered was not only the substance itself, but also its relationship to nutrition, lifestyle and overall harmony of the body. This system of traditional medicine often worked with the idea that human health is closely connected to the quality of the environment and nutrients that the body receives.
Across different cultures, a similar theme recurs: the union of the mineral richness of mountain environments with natural substances arising from plant matter. Modern science now examines the specific composition and properties of individual substances — which is precisely why interest is growing in combinations that link minerals with complex natural compounds of mountain origin.
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? It's Mumio!
Mumio, also known as shilajit, is one of the most fascinating natural substances precisely because it cannot be simply placed into everyday categories:
It is not a plant extract
Unlike most familiar plant-based supplements, mumio is not a specific plant or an extract from a single herb. It does not originate from harvesting a particular species, but is the result of long-term natural processes taking place in mountain environments.
It is not a mineral or a rock
Although it contains a broad spectrum of mineral substances and trace elements, it cannot be described as a mineral, geological rock or purely mineral deposit formed solely by geological processes.
It is not a fungus or the product of a single organism
It is occasionally confused with certain mountain fungi or other natural formations. In reality, it is neither a fungus nor the product of one specific organism. Its formation is far more complex and involves the action of a whole range of biological and geological factors.
Mumio forms over a very long period through the decomposition of plant biomass in mountain regions. The process involves microorganisms, temperature fluctuations, rock pressure and the surrounding mineral environment. The result is a dark natural substance containing a mixture of organic compounds, minerals and trace elements.
This combination makes mumio a unique organo-mineral complex. It is not an isolated active ingredient, but a naturally formed matrix of various components that are the result of long-term natural processes.
From a modern nutritional perspective, what is interesting is that mumio represents a union of two worlds — organic substances derived from ancient biomass and mineral components of the mountain environment. This natural combination creates a bridge between substances that support cellular processes and minerals essential for maintaining the body's internal balance.
Where they meet — a shared denominator
And this is precisely where the story of mumio begins to intersect with the concept of remineralisation — supplementing minerals and creating an environment in which the body can use them effectively.
Mineral foundation from water
Mg, Ca, K, Si and Celtic salt — selected electrolytes and minerals added directly to water for everyday hydration.
A broad spectrum from nature
Fulvic acids, organic compounds and trace elements formed in mountain environments over thousands of years.
These two worlds — precisely defined water mineralisation on one hand, and a complex natural matrix on the other — meet within the body as part of everyday physiological processes. In Part 2 we will look more closely at what fulvic acids are and how modern science is studying them.
