Fulvic acid
The fraction of humic substances that stays dissolved in water at any pH, made of small, oxygen-rich molecules formed as plant matter breaks down.
The classification is operational rather than structural. Humic substances are separated by solubility: what precipitates in acid is humic acid, what stays in solution is fulvic acid. Neither is a single compound.
Fulvic molecules are smaller and carry more oxygen-bearing groups. Those groups bind metal ions, which is the property that makes the fraction interesting in the context of minerals.
A percentage on a label means little without knowing which assay produced it. Several methods are in use and they do not agree with each other.

The questions everyone asks
What is shilajit, actually?
A dark resin that seeps out of rock at altitude in the Himalaya, made of plant matter pressed and broken down over a very long time. What comes off the rock is not the product. Shodhana, the purification step, is what separates the resin from everything it was sitting in, and that is the step worth asking a seller about.
Why does fulvic acid matter?
Fulvic acid is a carrier molecule. It binds trace minerals and is studied as a way of getting them across a cell membrane, which is why the interesting question about a mineral is not how much is in the jar but how much of it arrives. That is the mechanism the research is built on. It is a line of study, not a settled fact, and nobody should sell it to you as one.
How much do I take, and when would I notice anything?
Follow the instructions and maximum daily amount on the label of the specific product. Resin, liquid and capsule formulas are not interchangeable doses. We cannot promise a noticeable effect or a time to benefit. If you take medicines or have a medical condition, discuss the product with a qualified healthcare professional before use.
Resin or capsules?
The range includes resin and six distinct capsule formulas in vegan HPMC shells. Ingredient amounts are listed for each product rather than reduced to one formula for the whole range. One caution: the Sea Moss and Bladderwrack blend contains iodine, so if you have Hashimoto’s or any diagnosed thyroid condition, take that one to your doctor rather than to the checkout.
Where does it come from, and how do I know it is clean?
Our products come from the white-label range offered by established UK supplier Pure Shilajit UK. The supplier describes its resin as Himalayan-sourced. Certificate 63849 from Alex Stewart Agriculture concerns a resin sample tested in February 2026. It does not establish results for every current retail batch or any capsule formula. Current batch mapping remains unverified; the arsenic result needs clarification against the printed detection limit.
Do you ship outside Europe?
We ship worldwide, with one exception: not to the United States. Switzerland pays CHF 6.90, free from CHF 60, shipped from Winterthur by Swiss Post with no customs. Europe and the United Kingdom pay CHF 6.90, free from CHF 150. Every other country pays CHF 14.90, free from CHF 200, without a localised site.
