A Shilajit laboratory report can be technically correct and still give consumers the wrong impression. A claimed 50% fulvic acid doesn't necessarily mean 50% of the resin in the jar. We explain dry-basis versus as-is results, why testing methods matter, and why we believe as-is reporting is the more transparent approach.

Shilajit is often reduced to “fulvic acid and minerals”, but that leaves out much of the chemistry. Here we map the wider Shilajit matrix, from humic fractions and smaller organic compounds to elements, inorganic ions, water and material that hasn’t yet been fully characterised.

Hindu Kush Shilajit comes from a mountain region shaped by trade, mineral history and overlapping South Asian, Persian and Central Asian traditions. We look at what makes this origin distinctive, from the names Salajeet and Mumiyo to its stronger, more sulphurous aroma, while separating documented history from the folklore that's often repeated around Shilajit.

A clear review of human Shilajit studies on testosterone, fertility, exercise, bone health and more, including what the evidence can and can't prove.

Does Shilajit expire, how long can it last, and can it improve with age? We examine shelf life, storage and what actually happens to Shilajit over time.

Does Shilajit break a fast? It depends on why you’re fasting. We look at intermittent fasting, calories, insulin, ketosis, autophagy, water fasting and medical fasting, separating what’s actually known from what supplement marketing tends to assume.
