Raw is often assumed to mean better. But when it comes to Shilajit, the relationship between authenticity and preparation is more nuanced. This guide explores traditional purification, modern processing, and why respecting tradition does not mean rejecting progress.

Is Shilajit safe? A science-led guide to side effects, contraindications, medication cautions, who should avoid it and why product purity matters.

Most Shilajit products focus on what they contain. This guide explains what should not be there, including PAHs, solvents, and microbial contamination, and why proper testing matters.

Shilajit can contain lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury and other elements, but a detected result does not tell you the risk on its own. This guide explains how concentration, serving size, chemical form, batch testing and UK or EU rules fit together, without panic or wishful thinking.
