6 DIY Shilajit Purity Tests You Can Do at Home
Buying Shilajit? Then you deserve to know whether it’s the real deal—or a sticky scam.
This ancient resin is loaded with benefits—from energy and focus to hormone support and detoxification. But sadly, the market is flooded with diluted, doctored, or downright fake products that look like Shilajit… but don’t act like it.

Here are 6 simple purity tests you can perform at home to check if your resin is authentic.
1. The Cold‑Heat Response Test
- Test: Put a small piece in the fridge or freezer for 30–60 minutes.
- Then: Warm it in your hands or with body heat.
Real Shilajit hardens cold and softens warm. If it stays mushy cold or stiff warm, it's likely been altered with oils or additives.
2. The Drip Test
- Test: Turn your jar upside down for 30 seconds.
If the resin drips out on its own, it's likely been diluted with water, molasses, or syrup. Pure resin sticks like tar and doesn’t move easily.
3. The Water Solubility Test
- Test: Drop a pearl-sized amount into warm water or milk.
Pure Shilajit sinks slowly, dissolves completely, and creates a clear golden-brown hue. It should leave no grit or residue.
4. Burn vs. Bubble: The Flame Test
- Test: Hold a dried piece over an open flame using tweezers.
Authentic Shilajit will bubble slightly and produce a soft, white ash that spreads outward. There will be no black smoke, no flame, and no burnt sugar smell.
If it ignites, smells sweet, or turns to black soot, it’s been cut with binders or sugar-based fillers.
5. Alcohol & Acid Test
- Test: Drop a piece into alcohol and vinegar separately.
Real Shilajit doesn’t react when you mix it with alcohol, vinegar, or lemon juice. If it fizzes or bubbles, that’s a red flag—it likely has fake stuff or fillers added.
6. The Cold-to-Freeze Test
- Test: Place a small amount of Shilajit in the freezer overnight (8–12 hours).
- Then: Try to snap or break it.
Pure Shilajit will freeze solid but remain dense and slightly flexible. It may crack, but it won’t shatter like glass.
If it turns brittle and fractures like a candy bar, it’s not real—it’s been laced with synthetic compounds or sugars.
