What to Look for When Buying Shilajit Capsules
In short: compare Shilajit capsules using the complete ingredient list, labelled serving, warnings and a named laboratory report. A generic purity threshold or “lab tested” badge is not enough.
Four useful checks
- Read the full formula and labelled serving.
- Check a named report for the identified product batch and stated analytes.
- Understand the limits: a report does not establish every unit, personal suitability or a health outcome.
- Review warnings and discuss the complete formula with a qualified professional if medication or a health condition is involved.
Read the serving before the headline number
Check whether an amount is stated per capsule or per daily serving. Separate the Shilajit extract from the total blend weight and from any starting-material-equivalent claim. Check the shell, other ingredients, warnings and number of capsules needed for one serving.
Gold+ worked example: the current 60-capsule pack uses a labelled serving of two capsules, so it provides 30 servings. That complete serving contains 400 mg Shilajit extract within an 11-active-ingredient formula, plus the vegetable-cellulose shell. It is not the same product as 400 mg of isolated Shilajit. For cost per labelled serving, divide the current pack price by 30, stating whether delivery is included.
Do not increase the serving to match a study or compare a whole blend’s weight with another label’s Shilajit-only quantity. Use the Gold+ formula guide for the exact product distinction and the UK buying guide for broader comparisons.
Facility and product documentation
Capsules are produced at a food-supplement facility. Current stock has manufacturer documentation for formula and fill weight. This is facility-level and batch-documentation context; it is not finished-product certification or a clinical claim.
Laboratory context
Eurofins tested the current 5 Rivers Nutrition Gold+ Capsules batch ULSG2508357 and Resin batch ULSG2508011. These are the same batches currently used in products sold by 5 Rivers Nutrition. The Capsules report (AR-258-2025-20051564-01) records 79.22 g/100 g fulvic acid; the Resin report (AR-258-2025-20051565-01) records 76.74 g/100 g. Both reports list arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury. These are analytical results, not evidence of a health outcome. See the Lab Testing page for the full batch reports.
Gold+ Capsules
The labelled two-capsule daily serving provides 400 mg of Shilajit extract in total within an 11-active-ingredient formula, plus a vegetable-cellulose capsule shell.

Key takeaway
Choose based on disclosed formula, serving information and inspectable evidence—not generic rankings, origin slogans or promises.
