Think your shilajit came from 18,000 feet? Think again.
Despite what the labels say, there’s no evidence that commercial shilajit is harvested at such extreme altitudes — and no science to back it up. We unpack the real sourcing story, explore the regions that actually produce potent, high-quality resin, and show why biodiversity beats buzzwords every time.

The Shilajit flame test is dramatic, cheap and oddly satisfying, but it does not prove purity, potency or safety. This article explains what happens when Shilajit is exposed to flame, what the test might reveal, and why proper lab testing matters far more than supplement theatre with a lighter.

With Shilajit becoming a popular supplement, it’s more important than ever for consumers to understand the nuances of lab testing. While lab certificates may seem like a guarantee of quality, inconsistent testing methods, regional variations, and questionable practices like "lab shopping" can make results unreliable. This post explores why not all lab tests are created equal, how improper sample handling can affect results, and the importance of choosing brands that prioritise transparency and third-party, accredited testing. By staying informed, consumers can ensure they’re getting the true benefits of Shilajit in its most effective form.
