Resin vs. Capsules vs. Tablets: Which Shilajit Supplement Should You Take?

One Ancient Remedy, Three Powerful Formats Your Easy Guide to Choosing the Right Shilajit Supplement — And Avoiding the Mistakes Most People Make!

1. Why We Offer 3 Forms of Shilajit

At Pür Shilajit, we offer Shilajit resin, pressed tablets, and vegen capsules — all made from our wild-harvested material sourced in the Altai Mountains.

Why three versions? Because while the source remains the same, every customer has different preferences. Some people are seeking a pre-workout herbal supplement for energy and performance, others want a natural Shilajit capsule for travel or convenience. We meet you where you are, without compromising integrity.

• Resin: For traditional users who want the most natural and unprocessed experience.
• Tablets: A portable, mess-free option — made from resin, no binders added.
• Capsules: Great for those who want a high-potency dose with zero taste.

 

Resin: The Most Natural Form

Our Pure Shilajit Resin is slow-dried under the sun at altitude. It’s never diluted, boiled, or cut with anything — just a sticky, tar-like mineral-rich resin the way nature designed it.

✔ Full-spectrum
✔ Flexible dosing
✔ Used traditionally across cultures for vitality and balance

Note: If you're looking to buy Altai Mountain Shilajit in its original form — this is it.

 

Tablets: Resin-Based, Binder-Free

Each tablet contains 200mg of dehydrated Shilajit resin. We don’t use magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, or synthetic binders often found in standard dietary supplements. Just clean material, pressed into a travel-friendly shape.

 

 Capsules: Potent, Tasteless, and Convenient

Our Pure Shilajit Capsules contain 500mg of Shilajit powder, derived directly from our resin via low-temperature dehydration. Ideal for busy routines or as a consistent part of your daily detox supplement stack.

2. A Look at the Industry: What Most People Don’t Realize

⚠️ Tablet Additives Are Common

Mass-market Shilajit tablets often include:

• Magnesium stearate
• Dicalcium phosphate
• Silicon dioxide
• PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone)

These added ingredients act as binders and flow agents — helpful for mass-producing tablets, but they water down the potency of Shilajit and aren’t ideal if you’re trying to avoid synthetic additives.

⚠️ Capsules Filled with Filler

Many Shilajit capsules on the market are diluted with fillers like rice flour, charcoal, or other mystery black powders. It’s also common to find products labeled as ‘Shilajit’ that contain only a small fraction of the real thing — sometimes just 10–20% of the claimed dose.

⚠️ Resin Dilution – The Drip Test

Here's how to test:

Flip the jar upside down. If the resin flows out easily, it's likely been watered down or mixed with humectants. Real Shilajit resin should be dense, sticky, and slow-moving — almost like tar.

Some suppliers also use molasses or sugar-based syrups to increase yield. These ingredients are not native to real Shilajit Mumijo.

⚠️ Fulvic Acid Spiking

To boost lab results, some companies add synthetic or agricultural-grade fulvic acid to mimic the presence of bioactive compounds. This may result in higher test numbers but does not reflect genuine Shilajit health benefits.

⚠️ Heavy Metal Contamination

Unverified sources of resin can contain heavy metals like lead or mercury. We conduct third-party lab testing on all batches of our products for safety and purity — including Pure Shilajit Tablets, Capsules, and resin formats.
