Shilajit is one of the least transparent supplement categories on the market, so our brand assessments start where it matters: does the company publish a recent third-party lab certificate, and what does it actually show? We judge each brand on published evidence, not marketing, and we say plainly where a brand does not give enough information to judge it at all.
How we assess brands
Every assessment weighs four things, drawn entirely from what a brand makes public and from independent lab data where it exists:
- Testing transparency: is there a current, batch-matched certificate of analysis from an accredited third-party lab, covering heavy metals including thallium?
- Potency: is the active content, especially fulvic acid, actually stated and tested rather than assumed?
- Sourcing honesty: a named region and batch dating, rather than a vague “pure Himalayan” story.
- Value: the real per-gram cost against the sourcing and testing on offer.
Editorial independence. These assessments are based on publicly available lab certificates, brand disclosures, and independent testing. They are written independently and are not paid placements. When we add affiliate links in future, they will be clearly disclosed and will never change a verdict.
