Shilajit, the way
the mountain made it.
Pure Altai resin in Miron violet glass — the original way shilajit has been used for thousands of years. Dense, sticky, mineral. Dissolves clean in warm water.
One mountain. Four compounds.
Pure Altai resin in Miron violet glass — the original way shilajit has been used for thousands of years. Dense, sticky, mineral. Dissolves clean in warm water. Sixty-plus trace minerals, fulvic and humic acids, and dibenzo-α-pyrones — the four families of compounds shilajit is built from, in a single source-traceable Altai grade.
What's actually in the resin.
Shilajit isn't a single compound — it's a family of compounds the mountain spent thousands of years assembling. Four chemistry layers carry the work.
Fulvic acid (60%+)
The signature compound. Low-molecular-weight humic substance, traditionally associated with nutrient transport and cellular delivery. Our minimum-60% spec is the threshold serious shilajit producers hold to.
→ The fulvic acid storyHumic acid
The supporting matrix. Higher-molecular-weight humic substance that holds trace minerals in a bioavailable matrix. Fulvic acid does the front-line work; humic acid is the substrate it works from.
→ The matrix pieceDibenzo-α-pyrones
The compound class most associated with shilajit's mitochondrial-support story in the preclinical literature. Found in shilajit and almost nowhere else — the molecular fingerprint of the material.
→ The DBP mechanism story60+ trace minerals
Iron, zinc, magnesium, selenium, copper, manganese, and a long tail of elements at trace concentrations — held in the fulvic/humic matrix in a form the body recognizes.
→ What the trace minerals actually doOne mountain. Tested at every step.
The Altai range straddles four countries — Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, China — at altitudes where the geological pressure, mineral chemistry, and microbial activity needed to make true shilajit can still happen.
We chose Altai because the consistency of the source resin there has been documented and traceable in a way that the more famous shilajit regions can't currently match. Single source. Single grade. Our resin and our powder come from the same Altai harvest — the powder is the resin, in another form.
- Single-origin Altai — not a blend across regions or seasons
- Traditionally purified — water-extracted, no solvents
- Tested upstream — heavy metals, microbial, fulvic acid content
- Supplier Certificate of Analysis available on request
- Traceable to harvest — batch documentation
- Miron violet glass
Never use metal with shilajit.
The traditional knowledge says wood, ceramic, or glass — never a metal spoon, knife, or container. The fulvic and humic acids in shilajit are reactive — metal can interfere with the compounds and the taste. Use the supplied wooden tool, a clean ceramic spoon, or the back of a plastic spoon to lift your serving from the jar.
Four ways to take it.
Daily dose: 1 pea-size piece (≈ 300–500 mg). Most users take it on an empty stomach in the morning, 30–60 minutes before food.
Sublingual
Place your pea-size piece under the tongue and let it dissolve. Sublingual absorption is the most direct — the resin enters circulation through the tissue under the tongue.
In warm water
Dissolve the resin in warm (not boiling) filtered water. Stir with a wooden spoon for 30–60 seconds until fully integrated. The traditional, most reliable method.
In tea or warm milk
Stir into a cup of herbal tea, coffee, or warm (not hot) milk. Pairs especially well with chai, golden milk, or a simple raw-honey-and-warm-water cup. Avoid metal teapots — use ceramic, cast iron is fine.
In a smoothie or shake
Blend into a smoothie, protein shake, or pre-workout drink. The honey-mineral profile pairs with cacao, berries, and nut milks. Best taken before or after training rather than as your morning dose.
When to take it
Morning, on an empty stomach. Most users find shilajit easier to feel and more sustaining when taken first thing.
Wait 30–60 minutes before food. Scale to the size of the meal — a heavier breakfast wants more space.
If a morning dose feels stimulating, shift to early afternoon. Avoid late evening — shilajit's energy-supportive profile can interfere with sleep onset for some users.
How much to take
Days 1–5: start small — a lentil-size piece (≈150 mg), once or twice daily. Let your body get used to it.
Day 5+: if you feel good, move up to a pea-size piece (≈300–500 mg) once daily, or a half-teaspoon of powder.
Long-term: the daily-once routine is the standard. Some users run a 5-on / 2-off rhythm; the 90-day routine is in the Library.
Four ways shilajit shows up in a life.
Internal, topical, ceremonial. The use cases that survived generations.
Shilajit Tea
- Fill ⅓ of a cup with cold filtered water. Add your daily serving.
- Let it sit 5 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until the resin dissolves.
- Fill the rest of the cup with hot (not boiling) water. Stir.
- Add a teaspoon of raw honey. Stir until smooth.
The honey balances shilajit's mineral edge and adds its own profile to the cup.
Remineralizing Hair Mask
- 2 whole eggs
- 1 tablespoon raw honey
- 2 grams shilajit dissolved in 1 tablespoon warm water
Mix into a creamy texture. Apply root to tip until fully covered. Leave 1 hour, then wash out thoroughly.
Body Butter Concentrate
- 5 grams shilajit resin
- 1 tablespoon warm water
Dissolve to a thick concentrate. Mix a teaspoon into your unscented body butter or homemade salve. Apply to dry skin, areas under repair, or as a face mask.
Remineralized Water
A small pinch of shilajit stirred into a glass of distilled or reverse-osmosis water restores trace minerals and humic substances that filtration removed.
Best for drinking water that feels flat or hyper-pure. The fulvic acid does its own work; the trace minerals do theirs.
Six contexts. One daily serving.
Shilajit isn't a context-specific supplement — it's a daily foundation that shows up usefully in different parts of a life.
General Maintenance
Daily foundation. Trace-mineral cofactor support under the rest of the day. The base case for most users.
Pre & Post Training
Pre-workout drink or post-workout shake. Trace minerals + electrolytes support the recovery substrate.
Endurance & Stamina
Long runs, hikes, sustained physical work. The mineral-electrolyte profile supports prolonged exertion.
Focus & Cognition
Deep-work mornings. The fulvic-acid + trace-mineral substrate supports cellular energy chemistry under cognitive load.
Yoga & Meditation
Pre-practice grounding. Some practitioners find shilajit pairs naturally with breathwork and contemplative arcs.
Travel & Time-Zone Shifts
Long flights, cross-country drives, time-zone resets. The mineral-electrolyte profile supports the body through transitions.
Resin, the way we make it.
Miron violet glass — the densest violet glass blocks the visible-light spectrum that degrades organic compounds over time. The same standard serious natural-resin producers use.

SourcingWhy Altai
The geological and operational reasons behind our sourcing decision.
Read before first use.
Shilajit has a long traditional safety profile, but a few cautions apply. As with any supplement, talk to a practitioner if any of the following applies to you.
- Not for pregnancy or breastfeeding without practitioner guidance.
- Hemochromatosis or iron overload conditions — shilajit is associated with iron in the absorption literature. Consult a clinician.
- Anticoagulant medication — preliminary signals around platelet activity. Talk to your prescribing practitioner.
- Kidney conditions — the trace-mineral load may need supervision. Consult a clinician.
- Children under 18 — not formulated for or studied in pediatric populations.
- Stop use if any adverse effect occurs and consult a practitioner.
