Shilajit (120 capsules)

Shilajit is a black, resin-like natural product, found in regions such as the Himalayas or Altai. It forms over centuries from plant materials and is shaped by climate, rocks, and time. In the Western world, Shilajit is considered a trendy dietary supplement – in Ayurveda it has long been part of the traditional lifestyle and is highly valued. The reason: pure Shilajit contains many nutrients such as minerals and trace elements, making it a naturally occurring dietary supplement.

If you want to buy Shilajit but are confused by the different names, here’s a brief explanation: There are several terms for this popular natural substance.

• Shilajit: The most well-known name here. It is a Sanskrit term often used in Ayurveda. The term Shilajit is often applied to products from the Himalayas.
• Mumijo: This is the Russian or Central Asian term, sometimes used for products from the Altai region.
• Mumie: This is the German term – rarely used today. It has nothing to do with mummies as commonly known.
• Mumiyo: Another, or English, spelling of Mumijo.

Many terms, one product. If you want to buy Shilajit, you can search for any of these keywords. If you specifically want Shilajit from the Himalayas, use “Shilajit”; for a product from the Altai, use “Mumijo”. No matter what you choose, always make sure to buy pure Shilajit and avoid low-quality or unclear blends.

Of course, you can’t buy every available supplement – otherwise you’d be spending the whole day just taking tablets and capsules. Plus, that would really be over the top, since not everyone needs to supplement everything.
Shilajit is exactly such a supplement that not everyone needs to have in their cabinet.

It is a select, special dietary supplement, intended not for the general public but rather for people who live consciously and naturally.
So if you’re interested in

• Ayurveda,
• plant-based and natural nutrition,
• mild supplements, and
• alternative nutrient sources

then Shilajit is probably something for you too. Give it a try and who knows, maybe soon you’ll be part of the group that enjoys buying Shilajit.

Shilajit naturally contains

• fulvic acids,
• humic acid and
• a variety of nutrients.

Due to these characteristic Shilajit components, the product has been valued in Ayurveda for centuries. Since there are currently no EFSA-approved health claims for Shilajit, we cannot make specific claims about its effects. However, you can find many user experiences and reports about Shilajit usage in various forums. Feel free to check them out.

Since Shilajit is still a relatively new product in the Western supplement world, it – unlike other supplements such as magnesium or vitamin D – is not yet reliably available in every drugstore, supermarket, or pharmacy. At the same time, there is currently a real hype around Shilajit and more and more people want to try the supplement. For this reason, Shilajit can currently be most easily purchased online. On the internet, there are many vendors selling Shilajit in capsules, powders, and more. And here at Vetain, you can also buy Shilajit.

A small note from the heart: Whenever something is trending, suddenly dozens of online vendors appear claiming to offer Shilajit of the highest quality. Even if some of these vendors (like us at Vetain) genuinely sell high-quality products, there are always a few that offer inferior products at far too high prices. Therefore, pay close attention to where you buy Shilajit and whether the vendor is trustworthy. Indicators include: recommendations and reviews, brand’s product range, social media presence, product information (origin, etc.).

If you want to buy Himalayan Shilajit, it’s important to know how to take it correctly. At Vetain, we recommend taking 2 Shilajit capsules daily with a large glass of water with a meal. This daily dose of two capsules provides 800 mg of Shilajit extract, including 400 mg of fulvic acid and 96 mg of humic acid.
As with any supplement: if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication, or have health conditions, please consult your doctor regarding Shilajit intake and dosage before starting. After that, you can consider purchasing high-quality Shilajit.

By the way: Shilajit is available not only in capsules, but also as powder or directly as resin. The big advantage of capsules is that the taste of Shilajit is less noticeable than in other forms. The taste is often described as very unpleasant: very intense, resinous, bitter, and smoky. Many compare the flavor to rubber or tar. Not exactly appealing. Even though we usually think supplements don’t have to taste great, we try to make taking them as pleasant as possible for our customers. Capsules offer a mild, convenient option. So if you want Shilajit with a subtle taste, Vetain’s capsules might be a good alternative for you.

We know the drill: when you come across a new dietary supplement, you first look for reviews before deciding whether to buy a product, in this case Shilajit. Here, we summarize some experiences for you.

• In Germany, Shilajit was mentioned occasionally in naturopathy starting in the 1990s and was used in initial areas.
• Since 2015, Shilajit has gradually become more known and made its way into early shops.
• It has also been increasingly mentioned on social media.
• Since 2022, there has been a real hype around Shilajit, and it is currently totally trending.
• More and more people are searching for the product and want to buy Shilajit capsules.

Reviews are often positive, and since more people in Germany are focusing on natural products, supplements like Shilajit are becoming increasingly popular. There are even some studies on Shilajit. However, the supplement has not yet made the big leap into mainstream science. Critics point out that quality often varies greatly – but this is more of an issue with the supplement industry than with Shilajit itself.

Our tip: Buy Shilajit in BIO quality. Organic quality ensures better control of the product. Additionally, here you’ll find a guide on how to find a high-quality supplement if you want to buy Shilajit now.

Shilajit is a natural product, which means quality can vary greatly. To help you find a good product (and buy quality Shilajit), here’s a checklist:

1. Origin disclosure
   Reputable brands usually indicate the source region transparently.
2. Fulvic acid content
   The fulvic acid content should be around 50–80%.
3. Price
   Neither extremely cheap nor overly expensive prices are a good sign. Very cheap products are often diluted or of poor quality. Extremely high prices may indicate an overpriced product. Quality has its price, but only within reason.
4. Purity
   Some brands provide independent and up-to-date lab analyses showing whether the product contains heavy metals, microbial contamination, or other impurities.
5. Additives
   Look for a clean and short ingredient list if you want to buy pure Shilajit. Endless fillers, flavorings, etc., are often unnecessary.
6. Support
   Trustworthy brands offer reliable customer service you can always reach out to.
