Shilajit
Ancient Mineral Resin, Modern Science
Shilajit is a mineral-rich natural substance found primarily in the Himalayas, formed over centuries from the slow decomposition of plants. Rich in fulvic acid and over 80 ionic trace minerals, it has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years. Modern research validates its remarkable biological activity across energy production, hormone balance, cognitive function, and more.

Quality & Purity
Independent verification and testing
Heavy Metal Testing
Independent Laboratory
Third-party verified to be free of harmful heavy metal contamination including lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium below safety thresholds.
Fulvic Acid Content
Quality Assurance Lab
Verified minimum fulvic acid concentration ensuring therapeutic-grade potency and bioavailability of mineral content.
Himalayan Origin Verified
Source Certification
Authenticated sourcing from high-altitude Himalayan deposits (3,000m+) where centuries of geological processes produce the highest quality resin.
Why Sourcing Matters
Shilajit quality varies enormously depending on altitude, geological age, and processing methods. The highest-grade shilajit is found at altitudes above 3,000 metres in the Himalayan ranges, where specific geological and botanical conditions create a uniquely mineral-rich resin over centuries.
Many commercial shilajit products are adulterated with fulvic acid extracts from soil or coal, which lack the complex bioactive compounds (dibenzo-Ξ±-pyrones, DBP-chromoproteins) found in genuine high-altitude resin. Authentic shilajit should be thick, tar-like, and dissolve fully in warm water with a characteristic bitter-metallic taste.
Our sourcing prioritises purity verification at every stage β from collection site authentication through third-party heavy metal testing to final fulvic acid concentration assays.
