Shilajit Benefits, Audited Trial by Trial
Every human shilajit trial, with its dose, duration, population and the extract it used. What was measured, what was never measured, and who should avoid it.

Shilajit science
What the trials actually measured, and what they did not.
Science
Science here means the published human trials and nothing else: no rodent study dressed as a result, no mechanism presented as an outcome. There are roughly eight, several using one branded extract, running from 28 days to 48 weeks in groups of 25 to 160 people. They measured androgen levels in men aged 45 to 55, strength retention after a fatiguing protocol in young men, bone mineral density in postmenopausal women with osteopenia, a collagen synthesis marker, gene expression in muscle and skin, skin blood flow and time to bone union after surgery.
Shilajit benefits audits every one of those trials by dose, duration, population and extract, names the arms that did not beat placebo, and lists the outcomes people search for that no trial has measured. What is shilajit puts the same evidence beside the tradition it is usually blended with. No health claim for shilajit is authorised in the EU, and the pages in this section are written so that a reader can check that for themselves.
One level up
Shilajit
The resin itself: what it is, where it comes from, how it is purified, and how to tell a real jar from an expensive one.
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?
A rice-grain portion, dissolved in warm water or under the tongue, once a day. A 30g jar lasts two to three months at that dose. Shilajit is not a stimulant and nothing here works like one, so the honest unit of time is a month rather than an afternoon. If you want the caffeine experience this will disappoint you.
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 of Analysis 63849 from Alex Stewart Agriculture, Liverpool (ISO 17025 accredited analyses) covers the February 2026 resin batch: arsenic 0.02, cadmium under 0.2, lead 0.44 and mercury 0.03 mg/kg. It covers the resin only; the capsules are not independently tested.
