Every shilajit product reviewed on this site is evaluated against a consistent set of documented quality criteria. We do not accept product samples or payment in exchange for favorable reviews.
Lab Documentation (40%)
Does the brand publish a third-party Certificate of Analysis from an accredited independent laboratory? Does it cover fulvic acid percentage, heavy metals (lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium), and microbial safety? In-house tests do not qualify.
Sourcing Transparency (20%)
Is the sourcing altitude declared? Is the geographic region specific (not just "Himalayan")? Is the harvest season or deposit type documented?
Processing Method (15%)
Is the processing method disclosed? Cold-process or water-purification methods are preferred over heat extraction, which can degrade fulvic acid compounds.
Brand Track Record (15%)
How long has the brand operated? Is there a pattern of consistent batch quality? Are customer service and returns policies clearly stated?
Value for Verified Quality (10%)
Price is evaluated relative to documentation level — not in isolation. A $95 fully-documented resin may represent better value than a $15 capsule product with no CoA.
Reviews are updated at minimum quarterly, or sooner if a brand changes its formulation, sourcing, or lab documentation status. The current review period was completed in July 2026. Next scheduled update: October 2026.
Editorial Note: All unverified claims throughout this site are marked [ADD SOURCE], [VERIFY], or [TESTING NOTE NEEDED]. These placeholders are intentional — they represent claims requiring primary source verification before publication. We do not fabricate citations.
