Heavy metals
In food safety, the toxic elements tested for in a supplement: chiefly lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury, each with its own legal limit.
This is the honest part. Shilajit comes out of rock, and rock in some places contains lead, arsenic and mercury. Unpurified or badly purified material can carry them into the jar, and cases of lead exposure traced to Ayurvedic preparations are documented.
Nothing about the appearance, the smell, the taste or the price answers this. A dark resin from a reputable-looking shop and a contaminated one look identical.
The only thing that answers it is batch-level testing by an independent laboratory, with the numbers written down and the batch number on the page. Ask for it. A supplier who will not produce one has answered the question.

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.
