What is Shilajit?

Shilajit is a mineral-rich resin from high-altitude Himalayan rocks, used within the Ayurvedic tradition. Fulvic acid is one measurable component of Shilajit. Its presence or percentage does not by itself establish a particular human health outcome. Learn more →

What is the fulvic acid content of your products?

Eurofins tested the Capsules batch ULSG2508357 and Resin batch ULSG2508011 currently sold by 5 Rivers Nutrition. Those same batches are used in the Capsules and Resin products available to customers.

Read the reports and scope.

Are your products vegan?

Yes. Both capsules and resin are 100% vegan. Our capsules use plant-based vegetable cellulose shells. No animal derivatives, gelatine, or dairy.

Are your products halal?

Our products are vegetarian and vegan and contain no meat or gelatin. Based on their ingredients, we consider them suitable for halal diets. They are not officially halal-certified.

Where is your Shilajit sourced?

The supplied production information identifies Himalayan sourcing, followed by washing, filtration, purification and concentration. A sourcing description does not establish quality or effectiveness by itself. Read the manufacturing information.

What ingredients are in the capsules?

Shilajit Gold+ Capsules use a 12-in-1 formula comprising 11 active ingredients plus a vegan vegetable-cellulose capsule shell: Shilajit Extract 400mg (label specification 75–80% fulvic acid), Ashwagandha Root Extract 120mg (5% withanolides), Curcumin 100mg (95% curcuminoids), Kali Musli 100mg, Tribulus Terrestris 100mg (40% saponins), Safed Musli 40mg, Saffron 40mg, Mucuna Pruriens 40mg (15% L-DOPA), Black Pepper 40mg (95% Piperine), Zinc 20mg (200% NRV), Vitamin B6 10mg (714% NRV), and Vegetable Cellulose Capsule (vegan shell). Sugar Free, Gluten Free. Note: Mucuna Pruriens contains L-DOPA — consult a healthcare professional if taking MAOIs or Parkinson’s medication. Vitamin B6 at 714% NRV — do not exceed the recommended serving.

What ingredients are in the resin?

Shilajit Gold+ Resin contains 6 ingredients per 500mg serving: Shilajit Extract 300mg (label specification 75–80% fulvic acid), Tribulus Terrestris Extract 60mg, Ashwagandha Extract 50mg, Kali Musli Extract 40mg, Curcumin Extract 25mg, Saffron (Kesar) 25mg. Sugar Free, Gluten Free.

How do I take the capsules?

Take 2 capsules daily with food and water, following the current product label. A 60-capsule bottle provides 30 labelled servings. Gold+ Capsules contain 11 active ingredients plus the vegan shell. Read the dosage guide.

How do I take the resin?

Follow the Resin label and measure the serving carefully. The labelled 500 mg serving is the complete six-ingredient blend, including 300 mg Shilajit extract. It is not interchangeable with 500 mg of another extract or the Capsules formula. Read the serving guide.

How long until I see results?

There is no reliable universal timetable. Study duration describes when researchers measured particular outcomes; it does not promise a personal result by two, four or twelve weeks. Follow the label, consider other changes in your routine and reassess whether use is worthwhile. Do not increase the serving to chase an effect.

Should I cycle Shilajit?

No established clinical guidance requires cycling. Evidence on long-term use and cycling remains limited, so follow the product label and seek professional guidance if you have questions.

What is the best time of day to take Shilajit?

No reliable evidence establishes an optimal clock time for everyone. Choose a time that fits the product label and your routine. Aman usually uses Resin in the morning and Capsules when convenient; that is a personal preference, not evidence of a timing advantage. Read the timing guide.

Can I take Shilajit before bed?

Shilajit is not established as a sleep treatment, and there is no universal evidence-based evening cutoff. Follow the exact formula’s directions and consider individual suitability. If you have concerns about sleep, symptoms or medicines, ask an appropriate healthcare professional.

Is Shilajit safe?

Safety evidence for Shilajit preparations is limited and may not apply to every preparation or to Shilajit Gold+. If you take prescription medication or have a medical condition, speak to your GP or pharmacist before use.

Who should not take Shilajit?

Check the complete formula and current label. People who are pregnant, breastfeeding, under 18, taking prescription medication or managing a health condition should seek appropriate professional advice before use. This page cannot establish personal suitability.

Important: Mucuna Pruriens and Vitamin B6

The capsule formula contains Mucuna Pruriens (15% L-DOPA, 40mg) — a dopamine precursor. Consult a healthcare professional before use if you take MAOIs, antidepressants, or Parkinson’s medication. It also contains Vitamin B6 at 714% NRV (10mg). Do not exceed the recommended serving; long-term intake above 10mg/day may cause peripheral neuropathy. These ingredients are in the capsules only — not in the resin.

Should I choose shilajit capsules or resin?

Capsules are convenient and easy to dose daily — the 12-in-1 formula includes additional Ayurvedic botanicals and nutrients. Resin is the traditional format — a focused 6-ingredient formula you dissolve in warm water or milk. Bundles offer the best value if you want to try both. Full comparison →
