In an ideal world, companies would sell Shilajit products that are safe, and actually work. In the real world, people see trends, and decide to jump on them for a quick buck. Making finding a legitimate source of Shilajit feel damn near impossible.

 

Shilajit is supposed to be naturally occurring, and can only be harvested for 3 to 5 months out of the year. Otherwise it becomes too cold to harvest, and too dangerous to get at high altitudes in the mountains.

 

So it led me to the question, how is there so much of it?

 

It seems like everyday I'm seeing a new Shilajit brand on my Facebook feed and the answer was darker than I first initially thought.... With some brands even just mixing glucose with clay or ash to give it a resin like consistency.

 

I did the dirty work so you don't have to.

Even as an Ayurvedic expert, sifting through the Shilajit market has been one of the most challenging parts of my career. I can only imagine what it must look like to the average consumer.

 

Here are a few things I had to consider to figure out what the most authentic, and pure Shilajit in the market was.

 

1. Consistency / Testing

 

Was it in it's pure resin state, or runny like honey? There seemed to be a lot of misinformation, and a lot of brands sharing fake information about it. Shilajit is a resin, it comes from decomposed microbial matter and is supposed to have a tar-like consistency.

 

Extensive heavy metal tests are also crucial for a natural supplement like Shilajit.

 

2. The form it was in, and where it comes from.

 

Was it a powder, gummy, or raw Shilajit resin? A lot of brands have left the consumers confused. Spreading misinformation about it, and after finding out that most brands are drop shipping companies coming from China, this was no surprise.

 

3. The potency of the Shilajit.

 

Sometimes dependent on the form, the compound that gives Shilajit the majority of its benefits is called "Fulvic Acid." Shilajit is filled with bioactive compounds, but fulvic in particular provides users with the majority of benefits that Shilajit comes with.

 

After extensive research, I purchased, tested, and researched the most popular Shilajit products and went through the rigorous process below.

The factors that mattered to me for a good Shilajit product ✍️

 

✅ Consistency Of The Product

✅ Health benefits

✅ Taste

✅ Smell

✅ Form (Resin, Gummies, Or Powder)

✅ Sourcing / Testing

✅ Price
 

Non-negotiable: The Shilajit products must have the best ingredients from the best sources. Organic is always better as it guarantees no other hidden bad-for-you elements. I think about my health in a preventive (vs reactive) way. I don't wait until I have a health issue, but get ahead to make sure my body is getting what it needs.

 

Proper testing and certificates of analysis are also crucial. As Shilajit can naturally contain heavy metals if it is not properly distilled, and filtered.

★ Overall Rating

My ABSOLUTE favorite! Vasu Ayurveda checked all of my boxes:

(1) Form & consistency: Vasu Ayurveda gets the number one spot because I know for a fact it is authentic, and in it's resin form. A lot of gummies, and capsules will use fillers such as glucose, and cellulose since Shilajit has a tendency to harden on its own. What really takes the cake though, is that I know it's potent because it's not watered down like most brands. Sure, it takes a bit longer to dissolve than other brands I tried, but contrary to what's said online, that's a GOOD thing. You could be buying a jar from another brand and get 30-40% water instead of the pure resin. They do that to stretch their profits, and line their pockets. It's supposed to be a tar, not molasses.

(2) Sourcing / Testing: I looked at the ENTIRE market. It doesn't get more credible than this. Vasu Ayurveda not only has 45+ years in business, but has facilities, and awards you can actually see for yourself if you Google them. I haven't seen that from any other brand, and with them I know I'm getting it directly from the source. They have the most in-depth lab testing I've seen for all heavy metals, and 20+ other variables. While some brands had sketchy COA'S, Vasu took it to the next level.

(3) Price & Health Benefits: While a little more expensive than other brands, I know I'm getting what I'm paying for. I saw reviews saying the jar is small, but what these people didn't keep in mind is how potent the Shilajit is. I would much rather KNOW what I'm paying for, than buy a jar that's 40% water.... As far as benefits go? I felt them. After looking into their social media, they also had guests on their livestreams who shared their experience with them. Not to mention the Netflix series of reviews on their website. To put it in simple terms, it works, REALLY well.
 

★ What I Love

Ok, did I mention the level of credibility this brand has? This is by far the BEST SHILAJIT I tried.  I would categorize it as the king of supplements. The taste isn't as bad as the other ones, very earthy and goes down well with some water & honey first thing in the morning. Smell wise, it's better than the other brands I've tried. For some reason, the bad quality ones smell like teriyaki sauce without the teriyaki. It's actually disgusting. The price may be a little higher, but it's worth it. Nothing matches the quality, and credibility of this company.

★ What could be better

This Shilajit takes awhile to dissolve, it's a common complaint I've seen across the brand. But it's worth the 5 minute wait for the results that I've gotten from it. I mean... Water is obviously water soluble, of course the watered down brands will dissolve easier. It's a no brainer. The potent stuff needs it's time to go through the process. Sure, the price may be "higher" than other brands, but at least I know what I'm paying for. Would I like it to be cheaper though? Of course. It would be a dream come true. It's currently not available in stores, so I have to wait to get it mailed. On the bright side, the shipping is fast. Normally around 2-3 days.

★ What could be better

Just like Vasu Ayurveda, this Shilajit is uncut. So it may take slightly longer to dissolve. The price is higher than Vasu's, and the quality seems to be there. The one thing I don't like that much, is that I'm not getting the best price since it's coming from a middleman. I can't see how clean, and put together their facilities are, but even then, everything else checks out. I'm just a sucker for transparency.

★ What I Love

Vasu did it again. I expect nothing but quality from them and they deliver every time. Unlike most Shilajit gummies I've found, these ones blew me away because they found a way to put the RESIN inside of their gummies and NOT SHILAJIT EXTRACT. They are the first player in the market I've seen do that, and on top of it they packed it with other ingredients like Ashwagandha, Vitamin D3, Vitamin B-12, Tribulus, and even L-Arginine. They are flavored naturally using flavor extracts from fruits to give it a mixed fruit flavoring while using zero sugars. Not only are these convenient, but they are effective and taste way better than Shilajit on it's own. Paired with the other ingredients, they pretty much made the perfect wellness gummy. Did I mention the credibility of this brand before? They have 45+ years in business, and are as transparent as it gets. I took these for a month and a half, and I'm more than pleasantly surprised with the results. I had more energy, felt a lot more calm, and didn't really deal with much overstimulation. With regards to the Vitamin D3 & B12, I can't really speak on it as I'm not deficient in either. Shocker right? Overall, it's an absolutely killer product and is more affordable than the resin.

★ What could be better

Although these gummies are extremely convenient, the Shilajit Resin still has my heart. Yes they are effective, but mixing the resin in a liquid and consuming it is a more effective way of getting your daily dose. The benefits of all the other ingredients did help, but Shilajit on it's own gave me energy levels like nothing else. If I was dealing with deficiencies, overstimulation issues, or anxiety this probably would've been at the top of my list.

This is authentic Shilajit. It's refreshing to say in a market that's dominated by fake, and dangerous products.

It's watered down. When I look at the Vasu or Chuga Shilajit consistency it's evident. This brand initially blew up on TikTok and took the market by storm, but that's not enough to make it the best in my professional opinion. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT I'M PAYING FOR. When I order a jar of Shilajit, I don't want it to be 20-30% water even if it's legitimate. I want it to be a pure resin. It also smells pretty bad compared to Vasu and Chuga, and I can't find any facilities or reputable sources it's coming from like the other brands.

★ What I Love

I love the fact that they decided to use Primavie Shilajit extract. It's the only variant of Shilajit extracts that is GRAS (Generally recognized as safe) by the FDA. Although it's not as effective as the resin, we at least know that it's safe for human consumption. A trait that most resins on the market don't carry. These are a safe, convenient alternative to the resin. Even though they may not be as effective.

★ What could be better

First off, it's not the resin. It's hands down the most effective way to consume Shilajit. Unfortunately, the resin on it's own has to many elemental factors that prevent it from being effective in a capsule form. Due to it being a natural compound, if it losses to much moisture the Shilajit becomes hard again and won't be able to maintain a capsule shape. Companies will either use fillers like cellulose to combat this, or will use an extract like they did. I wasn't even considering posting capsules on this blog until I ran across these, if you're going to choose a Shilajit capsule, go with Nootropics Depot. Even better though, just choose the resin.
