Reduce mucus and inflammation...
In a 2019 randomized, placebo-controlled trial, 63 men taking 500 mg a day of purified shilajit for eight weeks lost less strength after a fatigue protocol than placebo. This is that material: single ingredient, Altai-sourced, batch tested.
The no-Triphala version: the one many people choose during pregnancy and nursing, with a batch certificate to read and a provider to check with first. 50 g to 450 g powder, or 100 and 200 capsules.
- Single Ingredient
- Altai Sourced
- Lab Tested
- Pork-Free Capsule
- No Added Herbs
- No Fillers
- No Flow Agents
Why people use it
- One ingredient, no added herbs. Most shilajit on the market is cut 50/50 with Triphala as a drying medium. This one has no botanical in it at all. That is why it's the version many choose during pregnancy and nursing, and why the conversation with your provider is the next step rather than the last one.
- A whole mineral matrix, not an isolate. Trace minerals act as cofactors in normal energy metabolism. Shilajit delivers them in the organic matrix they formed in rather than as separated salts.
- Humic and fulvic substances. The defining constituents of real shilajit, formed as plant matter breaks down inside mountain rock over a very long time.
- Humic and fulvic substances support the body's own elimination and mobilization pathways. Binding metal ions and carrying them is the chemistry these compounds are known for; a 2024 review in Biological Trace Element Research documents that binding across roughly a dozen elements. See the research below.
- Studied for stamina in adults. A 2019 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial gave 63 recreationally active men 500 mg a day of purified shilajit for eight weeks; strength declined less after a fatigue protocol than in the placebo group.
- Sourcing is the whole game here. Shilajit composition varies by region, and published analyses report both useful trace elements and heavy metals in the material itself. Ask for the batch certificate. We'd rather you did.
What's in the jar
Shilajit is a natural resin, so constituents are reported per lot rather than as fixed label amounts. Ask us for the current certificate of analysis and you'll get the real numbers for your jar: fulvic acid content and the heavy-metal panel.
| Ingredient | What it contributes |
|---|---|
| Shilajit resin powder | The whole phyto-mineral matrix. Humic substances, fulvic acids, and trace minerals in the form they occur in, not fractionated. |
| Fulvic acid (constituent) | The marker constituent most labs assay in shilajit. It's the first number to ask for on a COA after heavy metals. |
| Humic substances (constituent) | The larger organic fraction alongside fulvic acid; a 2024 review in Biological Trace Element Research describes both as shilajit's characteristic components. |
| Trace minerals (constituent) | Published analyses report roughly 65 metallic elements across shilajit samples, varying by source region. Your lot's assay is the accurate reference, not a category figure. |
| USP grade pork-free bovine capsule | Capsule orders only. Powder orders contain shilajit alone. |
Constituents rather than declared amounts, because they vary by lot and source region. Constituent descriptions from Hussain et al., Biological Trace Element Research, 2024. Certificates of analysis are available on request; email us with your lot number.
How to use
- Less is more, especially at the start. Shilajit is concentrated whole material, not a standardized isolate.
- Powder: start with 1/2 to 1 teaspoon after your first complete meal of the day. Mix it into water, tea, or another beverage.
- Capsules: start with 1 to 2 after your first complete meal.
- Hold there for 2 to 3 weeks. Only then consider adding a second 1/2 to 1 teaspoon, or another 1 to 2 capsules, with a later meal.
- Plenty of people stay at the starting amount indefinitely. That's a fine place to land.
- If a step up feels overwhelming, space the added serving further apart over several days rather than pushing through it.
Sourcing & making
Sourced from the Altai region rather than the Himalayan material that is typically blended 50/50 with Triphala as a drying agent. Nothing is added to this version, so what you buy is shilajit powder and, for capsule orders, a USP-grade pork-free bovine capsule. Every lot is lab tested, and because shilajit's mineral content varies by origin, the heavy-metal panel on that certificate is the number that matters most.
Full ingredients
- 100% Pure Lab-Tested Shilajit Powder
- Lab-Tested USP Grade Pork-Free Bovine Capsules (for capsule orders)
Who it's for — and who it isn't
Good fit for:
- Adults who want shilajit with no added botanicals and nothing blended in as a drying medium
- People who read certificates of analysis and want a supplier who expects them to
- Anyone introducing a new concentrated material slowly and watching their own tolerance
Probably not for you if:
- You are buying it for a child. This is not intended for children.
- You avoid beef-derived ingredients. The capsule shells are bovine gelatin; the powder is not.
Testing & quality
Every product is lab tested, including a heavy-metal panel, which matters more here than on any other product we sell. Certificates of analysis on request, about a 2-week turnaround.
The research behind the ingredients
Published research on the ingredients in this product, for education. These studies were not conducted on this product.
Shilajit (humic/fulvic acid resin)
Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition · 2019 · RCT · n=63
In an 8-week double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 63 recreationally active men, 500 mg/day of purified shilajit was associated with less strength decline after a fatigue protocol and lower serum hydroxyproline than placebo.
Shilajit (humic/fulvic acid resin)
Clinical evaluation of purified Shilajit on testosterone levels in healthy volunteers
Andrologia · 2016 · RCT · n=healthy men aged 45–55
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of healthy men aged 45–55 taking 250 mg twice daily for 90 days, purified shilajit significantly raised total testosterone, free testosterone and DHEAS versus placebo while gonadotropins were maintained.
Humic and fulvic substances / trace minerals in shilajit
Shilajit mineral and purity review, 2024
Biological Trace Element Research · 2024 · mechanistic review
A review of shilajit's mineral chemistry reporting roughly 65 metals present across shilajit samples and humic substances that bind about 12 of them, with metal levels in tested material generally below WHO and FDA permissible limits. Sourcing and batch testing are what keep a given lot in that range.
Evidence note: Moderate: two randomized, placebo-controlled human trials in adult men support energy and hormone endpoints. Trials in pregnancy have not been run, which is why this page routes that decision to your provider, and the mineral-chemistry literature shows heavy-metal content is sourcing-dependent, which is why we batch test.
FAQ
Why is this the version people choose during pregnancy and nursing?
Because it's shilajit and nothing else. The Triphala in the standard blend is a botanical with documented prokinetic activity, and this version drops it. That is what we can tell you about the product. Whether shilajit belongs in your routine during pregnancy or nursing is your provider's call, and the batch heavy-metal certificate is the document to bring to that conversation. Ask us for it.
What should I look for on a certificate of analysis?
Heavy metals first. A 2024 review reports shilajit can carry lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury alongside beneficial trace elements, with levels varying by region. Fulvic acid content is the second figure worth asking for.
How is this different from the Triphala version?
This one is shilajit only. The other blend adds organic Triphala fruit powder at an 80/20 ratio for its digestive use. If you want a single ingredient, or you've been told to skip added herbs, this is the one.
Why start with such a small amount?
Because it's concentrated whole material and tolerance varies a lot between people. Holding one small serving for two to three weeks before adding a second is how you find your own level instead of somebody else's.
Powder or capsules?
Same material. Powder lets you adjust finely and mixes into hot or cold drinks; capsules travel better and skip the taste, which is not for everyone. Capsule shells are bovine gelatin.
Pairs well with
- Shilajit with Triphala — the same resin with organic Triphala at 80/20, for digestive support
- Salt of Life — the other trace-mineral source in the line, used at every meal
- Grass-Fed Beef Liver — whole-food copper and retinol alongside the trace minerals
Cautions
- Start slowly and increase gradually. If a larger amount feels overwhelming, space servings further apart until your body adjusts.
- Capsule versions contain bovine gelatin. Noted if you're following a plant-based diet.
- Store in a cool, dry cupboard away from heat. No refrigeration needed. Use within 12 months of opening.
Lab Tested
Every product. COA on request, ~2 weeks.
Made Fresh to Order
Small batches, packed when you order, not warehoused.
Nothing Hidden
One ingredient, plus a capsule shell if you choose capsules. No herbs, fillers, or flow agents.
