    The Complete Guide to Shilajit (2025 Edition)

    by Shilajit UK

    Origins, Benefits, Dosage, Safety, and Buying Guide from Shilajit UK

    1. What is Shilajit?

    1.1 Definition and Meaning

    Shilajit is a naturally occurring mineral-rich resin (also known as mumijo or salajeet) that seeps out of high-altitude mountain rocks. Used in Ayurveda, Persian, and Russian medicine for centuries, it is considered a Rasayana (rejuvenator) that enhances vitality, energy, and resilience.

    Unlike single-plant supplements, shilajit is a complex exudate of organic matter and minerals, rich in fulvic acid, trace elements, and dibenzo-α-pyrones. Purified properly, it becomes a sticky, tar-like resin with broad benefits.

    At Shilajit UK, we supply authentic Himalayan resin, purified and UK lab-tested for safety.

    1.2 Geographic Origins

    Shilajit forms in mountain ranges such as the Himalayas (India, Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan), Altai (Russia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan), and Gilgit-Baltistan (Pakistan).
    The Himalayan variety is widely regarded as the most potent due to its high fulvic acid content.

    1.3 Composition

    • Fulvic acid (15–20%) — antioxidant, nutrient carrier.

    • 80+ minerals — magnesium, zinc, selenium, iron.

    • Dibenzo-α-pyrones — mitochondrial energy boosters.

    • Humic acids & phytochemicals — anti-inflammatory.

    1.4 Traditional Medicine Use

    • Ayurveda: Rasayana for vitality and longevity (Charaka Samhita).

    • Persian medicine: Fertility, bone health.

    • Russian folk medicine: “Mumijo” for healing and resilience.

    2. How is Shilajit Formed?

    2.1 Natural Formation

    Shilajit forms over centuries of plant decomposition, microbial action, and geological pressure in high-altitude rock layers. In summer, it seeps out of cracks as a shiny black or brown resin.

    2.2 Key Factors

    • Altitude: 1,000–5,000m above sea level.

    • Time: Hundreds to thousands of years.

    • Heat & pressure: Seasonal temperature shifts.

    2.3 Why Sourcing Matters

    Counterfeits made from asphalt or tar exist. Authentic shilajit:

    • Dissolves fully in warm water.

    • Sticky, tar-like at room temp.

    • Bitter, earthy taste.

    At Shilajit UK, resin is purified with traditional + modern methods, then UK lab-tested for heavy metals and microbes.
