About Shilajit

What is Shilajit?

Shilajit is a natural mineral-rich substance found in the high-altitude rocks of the Himalayas. It forms over centuries from the slow decomposition of plant matter and is rich in fulvic acid, humic acid, and over 84 trace minerals. It has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years to support energy, vitality, and overall wellness.

Where does ShilaHeal source its Shilajit?

We source our Shilajit directly from high-altitude regions of Ladakh in the Indian Himalayas, at elevations above 16,000 feet. These pristine, unpolluted mountains produce the highest-quality Shilajit with maximum mineral concentration and potency.

What makes ShilaHeal different from other Shilajit brands?

ShilaHeal stands apart through our commitment to purity and transparency. Every batch undergoes rigorous third-party lab testing for heavy metals, toxins, and microbial contamination. We use traditional sun-drying purification methods, contain no fillers or additives, and provide full Certificates of Analysis (COA) for every product.

Products & Forms

What's the difference between Resin, Capsules, and Gummies?

Resin is the most traditional and concentrated form — a small pea-sized amount dissolved in warm water or milk. It offers the highest potency and fastest absorption.
Capsules provide a convenient, pre-measured dose with no taste — ideal for on-the-go use.
Gummies are a tasty, easy-to-take option that combines Shilajit with other beneficial ingredients like KSM-66 Ashwagandha. Great for those who prefer a more enjoyable supplement experience.

Which product is right for me?

If you want maximum potency and don't mind the earthy taste, go with Resin. If convenience is your priority, Capsules are perfect. If you want a great-tasting daily supplement with added adaptogens, choose Gummies. All three forms deliver genuine Shilajit benefits.

Usage & Dosage

How should I take the Resin?

Take a pea-sized amount (approximately 300-500mg) and dissolve it in warm water, milk, or tea. Stir until fully dissolved. Take once daily, preferably in the morning on an empty stomach for best absorption. The taste is earthy and slightly bitter — this is completely normal and indicates authenticity.

Why do you recommend the full 90-day course?

Shilajit's most powerful benefits are cumulative. While you may notice an initial energy boost within the first 30 days, deep cellular adaptation takes time. Month 1 helps you feel steadier energy. Month 2 builds stress resilience and focus. Month 3 locks in the benefits as your new baseline. The 90-day protocol ensures you experience the full spectrum of Shilajit's potential.

Can I take Shilajit with other supplements or medications?

Shilajit is generally safe to combine with most supplements. However, if you are taking prescription medications — especially blood thinners, blood pressure medication, or diabetes medication — we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before starting Shilajit, as it may enhance the effects of certain medications.

Safety & Quality

How do I know your Shilajit is pure and safe?

We take quality extremely seriously. Every batch is third-party lab tested for heavy metals (lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium), microbial contamination, and potency. Our products are manufactured in GMP-certified facilities. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) and full transparency about our sourcing and purification process. Visit our Lab Testing & Quality page for details.

Is Shilajit safe for everyone?

Shilajit is considered safe for most healthy adults when taken at recommended doses. However, it is not recommended for: pregnant or breastfeeding women, children under 18, individuals with hemochromatosis (iron overload), or those with active kidney disease. Always consult a healthcare professional if you have underlying health conditions.

Are there any side effects?

Most people experience no side effects at recommended doses. Some may initially notice mild digestive changes as the body adjusts. If you experience any discomfort, try reducing the dose for the first week and gradually increasing. Discontinue use and consult a doctor if you experience any adverse reactions.

Storage & Shelf Life

How should I store Shilajit?

Store your Shilajit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The resin does not need refrigeration. Keep the lid tightly closed after each use. Capsules and gummies should be stored at room temperature in their original packaging.

What is the shelf life?

When stored properly, Shilajit resin has an extremely long shelf life — traditionally it's considered to not expire. Our packaged products carry a best-by date of 2 years from manufacturing for optimal potency. Capsules and gummies should be consumed within the timeframe indicated on the packaging.
