The product

What is shilajit?

A blackish-brown resin that seeps from high-altitude mountain rock, formed as plant matter breaks down over centuries. It contains humic substances (including fulvic acid), trace minerals and amino acids. The full explainer covers it in six minutes.

What does it taste like?

Pure shilajit tastes earthy, mineral and slightly bitter. That is the resin, not a flaw. Orange and Strawberry add a natural flavour for an easier, sweeter taste. In coffee, the Pure taste largely disappears.

Which flavour should I pick?

Orange is the easiest first jar. Pure is for people who want no added flavour and is the only jar with nothing added. Strawberry is the sweetest of the three. When you buy more than one jar you can mix flavours freely.

Why resin instead of powder or capsules?

Resin is the least processed form: no drying carriers, no fillers, no capsule shell, and a certificate that tests the thing you actually eat. The comparison chapter explains the differences.

What does shilajit do?

We do not promise outcomes. No EFSA-authorised health claim exists for shilajit, so we make none. What research shows, topic by topic and graded honestly, is in the evidence chapter. What we do verify is composition, potency and safety, through independent testing.

Taking it

How do I take it?

Take a rice-grain-sized portion (about 500 mg) twice daily. Enjoy directly or mix into coffee, tea or warm water. Follow the recommended serving shown on the label.

Is it safe? Are there side effects?

Purified, lab-tested shilajit is generally well tolerated at the label dose. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Keep out of reach of children. If you are pregnant, nursing, or on medication, ask your doctor first. A food supplement is not a substitute for a varied diet.

Why is untested shilajit risky?

Raw or badly purified shilajit can carry lead, arsenic and other heavy metals. That is the category's one documented safety risk, and the reason we screen every batch by ICP-MS. The Quality page covers all four tests.

How should I store it?

Room temperature, lid closed, away from direct sunlight. The resin softens when warm and stiffens when cold; both are normal and neither affects the product.

Ordering & shipping

Where do you ship from, and how fast?

All orders ship from our warehouse in Schijndel, the Netherlands. Delivery times and shipping rates pending confirmation.

How does the pricing work?

One jar is €27,95. Buy two jars and the third is free: €55,90 for three, in any mix of flavours, which is €18,63 per jar, plus free shipping within the EU. Two jars alone are €44,95, saving €10,95 against two singles.

Which payment methods do you accept?

iDEAL, Apple Pay, credit cards, Google Pay and Klarna. The methods shown can depend on your device and location.

Is there a guarantee? Can I return an order?

EU consumers have a statutory right of withdrawal on eligible distance orders, generally 14 days, with exceptions that can apply to sealed food products once opened. Any additional satisfaction guarantee is still being confirmed. See returns and withdrawal.
