What Is Shilajit And What Are Its Benefits?
Shilajit is one of the most powerful — and misunderstood — natural substances on Earth. Used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine and now gaining traction across the West, this resinous compound supports energy, hormones, focus, and overall vitality.
At Pür Shilajit, we don't just sell Shilajit — we source the purest resin in the world and deliver it directly to your door. Here's what makes it so potent and what sets our brand apart.
Where Does Shilajit Come From?
Shilajit forms over hundreds of years as organic plant matter is compressed and fermented beneath high-altitude rock formations. As heat and microbial action break it down, it eventually seeps out as a sticky, black resin — typically found in the Altai Mountains, the Himalayas, and the Hindu Kush.
Why We Don’t Use Himalayan Shilajit?
While Himalayan Shilajit is commonly marketed, most consumers don’t realize the truth behind it:
- Often mined unsustainably, damaging both land and purity
- Frequently contaminated with heavy metals and E. coli
- Processed in unsanitary, low-regulation environments
We do not support Himalayan Shilajit sourcing — period. We never cut corners when it comes to your health.
Why We Source from the Altai Mountains
We proudly source our Shilajit from the Altai Mountains — a remote, unpolluted region where:
- Clean spring water flows year-round
- Our resin is sun-dried for 70+ days (not boiled or baked)
- No mining — just ethical, natural collection
The result? A resin that’s naturally rich in fulvic acid, trace minerals, and bioavailable compounds — without the contaminants found in mass-market products.
What’s in Shilajit?
Shilajit is a nutrient-dense phytocomplex that contains:
- Fulvic acid – Boosts nutrient absorption and detoxification
- Humic acid – Supports gut and immune health
- Trace minerals – 80+ essential micronutrients like zinc, magnesium, iron
- Dibenzo-α-pyrones – Compounds that may enhance energy and repair

Shilajit Forms: Resin vs. Capsules vs. Powder
While Shilajit is available in capsules, tablets, and powder, the resin form is most potent. It’s less processed, unadulterated, and maintains the full mineral profile nature intended.
That’s why our core product remains pure, sun-dried Altai Shilajit resin.
How to Tell If You’re Buying the Best Shilajit
Here are five questions every smart buyer should ask before purchasing Shilajit:
- Is it sourced from the Altai Mountains?
- Is it sun-dried for potency?
- Is it third-party lab tested?
- Is it free of fillers, binders, and additives?
- Does it say “Made in the USA”?
Here’s something most people don’t realize: when you see a label that says 'Made in the USA' on a jar of Shilajit, it doesn’t mean the Shilajit itself comes from America — it can’t.
What it often means is that the raw resin has been shipped overseas, then processed, diluted, or even tampered with in U.S. labs before hitting the shelves. It’s a clever loophole, but it’s misleading.
Real Shilajit is never grown or harvested in the U.S. It comes from one of six regions in Central Asia — and anything processed too far from the source loses its integrity.

FAQ's:
Q: Can women take Shilajit?
A: Absolutely. While Shilajit is often marketed toward men, it supports hormone balance, detox, and energy in both men and women.
Q: Is “Made in the USA” Shilajit legit?
No, Shilajit doesn’t grow in the United States — it simply can’t. If you see it labeled as such, it usually means the product was processed or diluted after being imported.
Always check the country of origin on the label. Authentic Shilajit should come from places like the Altai Mountains — that’s where nature actually produces it.
Q: Is resin better than capsules or powder?
A: Yes. Resin is the most unprocessed, direct form of Shilajit. Capsules and powders may be convenient, but they’re often less potent.
