FAQ
Shilajit and Shilajit Gold+ – Frequently Asked Questions
What is Shilajit?
Shilajit is a natural resin that forms over long periods as plant matter breaks down in high mountain rock. When purified, it becomes a dark, resinous substance that dissolves in warm water or milk. Shilajit naturally contains fulvic compounds, humic substances, and a broad spectrum of trace minerals, contributing to its powerful health benefits.
How is Shilajit used in Ayurveda?
In Ayurveda, Shilajit is classified as a rasayana, which refers to herbs used for rejuvenation and balance. It has been traditionally used in small daily amounts as part of a simple, restorative routine. While its cultural context is valuable, it is important to note that modern quality standards and medical advice should also be considered when using Shilajit.
What is Fulvic Acid and Why Does It Matter?
Fulvic acid is a group of small organic compounds that occur naturally in soils and mountain environments. In Shilajit, a high fulvic profile is an indicator of concentration and authenticity. Fulvic compounds are part of Shilajit's natural matrix, alongside humic substances and trace minerals, contributing to its potency and bioavailability.
What Are the Potential Benefits of Shilajit?
Shilajit is commonly used by adults looking for a natural, mineral-rich supplement to support general wellbeing. Based on traditional use and emerging research, Shilajit may help support everyday vitality, energy, and resilience as part of a healthy lifestyle. As a food supplement, Shilajit is not intended to treat or prevent diseases. Results can vary from person to person.
Who Can Use Shilajit?
Purified, lab-tested Shilajit is intended for healthy adults. It is not suitable for children. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a medical condition or take medication, please consult with a health professional before use.
What is the Difference Between Shilajit Resin and Capsules?
- Resin: A traditional format that dissolves in a warm drink (water, milk, or tea). It's ideal for those who enjoy the classic method of taking Shilajit.
- Capsules: Offer a measured daily serving with no taste step. Capsules are perfect for those who prefer a convenient, easy-to-follow routine.
Both formats should be purified and tested for potency and purity. Many people use one format daily and choose the other for flexibility on busy days.
How Do I Take Shilajit Gold+ Resin and Capsules?
Follow the label directions:
- Capsules: Take two capsules daily with food for a consistent, easy-to-follow routine.
- Resin: Dissolve a small serving in warm water, milk, or tea once daily. Start with a smaller amount and adjust as needed to suit your routine. Consistency is key!
Can I Use Resin and Capsules Together?
Yes, you can! However, you do not need to. If you choose to use both on the same day, start with smaller portions to keep the total daily amount sensible. Many customers prefer to alternate by day or use both formats as needed.
How Strong is Your Shilajit and What is the Fulvic Profile?
Both Shilajit Gold+ formats (capsules and resin) are made with high-fulvic Shilajit. Our capsule blend contains about 79% fulvic acid, and our resin contains about 76%. Each batch is independently tested, and the fulvic profile is published on the batch certificate for complete transparency.
Is Your Shilajit Independently Tested?
Yes, every batch of Shilajit Gold+ undergoes independent testing by Eurofins Analytical Services India. Testing includes identity verification, fulvic profile, and heavy metal screening to ISO 17025 standards. We publish the certificates for each batch for full transparency.
Does Shilajit Contain Heavy Metals?
Authentic Shilajit is a natural material collected from rocks, so responsible producers must purify and test it for heavy metals. Our Shilajit products are screened for lead, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic to recognized safety limits. The results are available on the batch certificates for each product.
What Makes Shilajit Gold+ Different from Standard Shilajit?
Shilajit Gold+ stands out because we start with high fulvic Shilajit and maintain a clear, purposeful formula:
- Two formats: A 12-in-1 capsule and 6-in-1 resin.
- Focused Ayurvedic botanicals: Ingredients like Ashwagandha, Turmeric, Saffron, Musli, Tribulus, and Mucuna are selected for their balance, not stimulant effects.
- Authorised claims: Our capsules contain Zinc and Vitamin B6, with clear, approved health claims.
- Independent certificates: Each batch comes with a certificate showing fulvic profile, heavy metal screening, and other quality tests.
- No unnecessary fillers: We avoid artificial acids, flavoring systems, and synthetic additives.
Why Do You Include Zinc and Vitamin B6 in the Capsule if They Are Not Ayurvedic Herbs?
Zinc and Vitamin B6 are essential nutrients with defined, authorised health claims. They complement a daily routine, supporting:
- Zinc: Normal testosterone levels, immune function, and cell protection.
- Vitamin B6: Energy metabolism, fatigue reduction, and psychological function.
While they are not Ayurvedic herbs, they enhance the Shilajit Gold+ formula and provide clear, reliable benefits for everyday wellness.
Why Do You Avoid Non-Ayurvedic Trend Mixes?
We focus on maintaining the core integrity of Shilajit and keeping the label clear. Many blends add unrelated trends like mushroom powders, sea moss, or synthetic acids, which:
- Dilute the Shilajit dose.
-
Complicate the label and testing.
We avoid these trends and stick to a defined Ayurvedic set, ensuring dose integrity, consistency, and clarity in every batch.
Is Shilajit Gold+ Vegan and Suitable for Other Diets?
Yes, both the resin and capsules are vegan-friendly. The capsules use a vegetable cellulose shell, and no animal ingredients are added. There are no artificial colors or flavors. Always check the label for the most current specifications.
Can I Take Shilajit Every Day and When Is the Best Time?
Yes, you can take Shilajit daily as directed on the label. Many people prefer to take it in the morning or early afternoon, often with food. If you're new to Shilajit, start with a smaller amount and build up to a full serving as your body adapts.
How Should I Store Shilajit?
Store your Shilajit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the lids closed between uses. Resin may become firmer in cold weather; simply allow it to warm to room temperature before serving.
Where Can I See Your Lab Reports?
We publish batch certificates for both Shilajit Gold+ formats. Check the batch code on your product label and download the matching certificate from our Lab Reports page for full transparency.
