Abstract
Mumijo is a product of natural origin, composed of a complex mixture of organic compounds and exhibiting physiological activity in some cases. The Altai mumijo is widely known in Russia, but Tuvinian mumijo has been studied much less. The data on the location of mumijo in the Republic of Tyva, its elemental composition, isotopic composition of carbon, amino acid spectrum, and mineral formations associated with mumijo are presented. The investigated mumijo is a waste product of small rodents, which underwent aqua transfer, weathering and bacterial processing.
