We follow the traditional Ayurvedic method of purification –raw Shilajit are washed thoroughly in water and then filtered to get rid of water-insoluble impurities. The filtrate is heated under direct sunlight to concentrate it. The creamy layer formed during heating is skimmed 3-4 times to obtain pure natural Shilajit.

This process is the only one that can bring out the most bioactive components of Shilajit resin. Proper extraction is important, as well, to ensure a consistent high concentration of active ingredients.

The jar contains 200 minimum 100 mg servings. Realistically the jar will last around 1-2 months as most people will take anywhere from 250-500 mg daily. If you weight under 110lb, 100 mg serving will suffice, if you are over 110 lb, 250-500 will be your dose

Though the right dosage of Shilajit to be taken per day is not yet established, there is a recommended daily amount of metals that is considered safe according to US Department of Health and California Prop 65. In accordance with the stipulated amount, you should take approximately 250 milligrams of Shilajit resin per serving. However, the rules are not enforced by the FDA as many grocery foods do not follow them. In addition, veggies and fruits are exempted from these regulations since they cannot pass them. Regarding how often you should take Shilajit, we recommend taking it once or twice per day for about 4-5 days in a week. We also suggest rotating it and taking a 4-month break after every month.

In some cases such as internal problems or bone injury, you may take Shilajit 2 to 3 times daily and 7 days per week, but its use should not exceed 30 days straight as well. We suggest cycle usage because the body's immune system may reduce the potency of Shilajit resin if it’s taken excessively, which is also true for many herbal supplements. Moreover, there is no need to take Shilajit if you are hale and healthy or don't practice any mental or physical workout. Shilajit resin is traditionally used to accelerate recovery from different health issues and usually only by old people, sherpas, and yogis.

A lot of people report increased stamina and energy levels within ten days. To enjoy maximum benefits, take 1-3 portions of Shilajit resin per day for a period of 6-8 weeks.

Nowadays, there are laboratories that can standardize and check the various compositions of Shilajit from one batch to the other. Research has shown that the composition of Shilajit resin sourced from different mountain ranges produces some certain similar compounds. The exact amount is determined by the flora in and around the mountain ranges from which the resin is collected. However, fulvic acid, humic acids and other bioactive molecules are commonly found in Shilajit and their actual quantities can be determined. Classically, some certain methods of checking the purity of Shilajit are explained in Ayurvedic literature.

• If a little pure Shilajit is put on a charcoal ember, it takes an elongated oval shape or the shape of a linga.
• Pure Shilajit won’t smoke when put on a hot charcoal ember.
• When in water, a grain of Shilajit will dissolve completely and sediment at the bottom.
• Pure Shilajit possesses a characteristic smell like that of cow’s urine. While it is like resin or can be hard, Shilajit softens when you rub a small portion between your fingertips. It is smooth to touch and lightweight.
