Shilajit – Altai Pure Activated 25g
Known as the "Black gold" of Ayurveda, Shilajit is formed over a very long period of time - it’s a result of the degradation of microbial plant-life that has been pressurized by rock.
As the rocks of the Altai mountains heat up, this black gold exudes from the cracks. It is then collected and filtered to remove impurities, before being used as a food supplement. But it’s not a new discovery by any means; Shilajit has been used in Ayurveda for thousands of years.
Shilajit is an adaptogen - Rich in minerals, as well as fulvic and humic acids, triterpenes and phospholipids.
We have taken great care to source what we consider to be the highest quality Shilajit available anywhere in the world. Hand harvested and crafted by indigenous farming families, One Life Foods Shilajit is clean, pure and highly biologically available. Please email us if you'd like to see a certificate of analysis.
PLEASE NOTE:
Our fulvic acid content is measured using the IHSS (International Humic Substances Society) method, the internationally recognised gold standard for distinguishing true fulvic fractions from soluble impurities.
IHSS analysis isolates genuine fulvic and humic fractions based on molecular weight and chemical behaviour, avoiding the inflated values produced by non-standard or solubility-based testing.
Most Shilajit brands do not measure fulvic acid using the IHSS method.
Why?
-
It requires specialised laboratory protocols, not quick colorimetric or solubility tests
-
Many third-party labs and marketing labs do not even offer IHSS-based analysis
-
It costs more and takes longer than common industry assays
That means most producers report fulvic numbers based on less rigorous methods, which often inflate fulvic percentages without distinguishing true fulvic fractions from non-functional soluble material.
So while many products claim high fulvic content, only a very small minority are tested using the scientifically accepted IHSS methodology.
Store in a cool dry place, away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
Pure Activated Shilajit Resin. Hand harvested and crafted by indigenous farming families in the Altai mountains of Siberia.
Take 250-500 mg daily. Always cycle the use of Shilajit. After 4-8 weeks of continued use, take a 4 weeks break.
Shilajit is best consumed by stirring into hot water/green tea or black coffee.
*The best way is to take a pea sized amount on a knife and stick it to the inside of a cup of green tea or black coffee. Stick it just below the water line and leave there for a couple of minutes, so it softens and begins to dissolve. Then, using the knife, gently rub back and forth against the side of the cup until it completely dissolves.
How to measure Shilajit:
100 mg = 1 rice grain
500 mg = 1 green pea
Not recommended if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
