How to identify the best Shilajit?

To determine the quality of Shilajit, several key criteria must be considered. Origin, purity, and absence of contaminants, fulvic acid content, extraction and purification methods, and finally certifications and lab tests.

Geographical origin

The Himalayan Shilajit, particularly from Nepal or India, is renowned for its purity. These regions offer ideal conditions for the formation of this precious resin. Favoring Shilajit from these areas ensures better product quality, although Shilajit can also be found in the Tibetan mountains, the Altai, the Gilgit-Baltistan mountains in Pakistan, or the Caucasus mountains, the best remains for us that of the Himalayas.

Purity and absence of contaminants

One of the elements to consider to know if you are dealing with the best Shilajit in terms of effectiveness and safety is to check its purity and absence of contaminants. Due to its natural formation, Shilajit may contain environmental contaminants such as heavy metals (lead, mercury, arsenic) and microorganisms. These impurities can pose health risks if not properly eliminated. Purity equals quality.

Fulvic acid content

Contrary to what one might think, a content of more than 50% fulvic acid in Shilajit IS NOT a guarantee of quality!

As a reminder, fulvic acid is one of the main active components of Shilajit, recognized for its antioxidant and energizing properties.

To achieve rates above 50%, laboratories may add synthetic (non-natural) fulvic acid or use artificial processes to obtain a higher fulvic acid rate.

It is therefore important to remain vigilant about these claims.

A naturally occurring content between 20% and 50% is normal. Of course, if this content tends towards 50%, we will be facing better Shilajit.

Extraction and purification method

Traditional extraction and purification methods better preserve the active compounds of Shilajit.

Be careful to avoid products that have undergone aggressive chemical treatments, as they can alter the quality and effectiveness of the supplement.

You might ask, but how do you know? Well, by opting for Shilajit extracted using processes that respect the substance. This will ensure better preservation of its benefits.

Certifications and lab tests

Also be vigilant about quality labels and proof of independent tests, it is an important factor to ensure the authenticity and safety of Shilajit.

We strongly advise you to inquire about certifications, and if available, laboratory analyses as well as the manufacturer’s reputation to choose your best Shilajit.

Recommended dosage and usage precautions

If you want to know more about this part, we have an article that explains everything about dosage, usage precautions, and how to consume Shilajit, whether in resin or capsule form, however, it is advisable to start with a low dose of Shilajit, generally between 100 and 200 mg per day, to assess your tolerance, and then increase it gradually.
