What is Shilajit resin?

Pure Shilajit resin in original texture, ready to dissolve

Shilajit is a black resin and mineral rich in organic compounds, traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine. Also known as mumie or moomiyo, its bioactive profile makes it a unique natural supplement for a healthy lifestyle.

There are many different qualities on the market. To maintain the natural profile, the resin must be pure and unadulterated .

Key Fact: Authentic Shilajit resin dissolves completely in warm water, leaving no visible residue.

Where is it extracted?

Mountainous regions of origin of Shilajit in the Himalayas

Shilajit forms in extreme mountain environments, where organic matter is trapped and transformed over time, generating a substance concentrated in minerals and bioactive compounds.

  • High geological pressures
  • Temperature variations
  • Prolonged sun exposure
  • Decade-long maturation processes

It is found mainly in regions such as the Himalayas , Altai, Siberia, Caucasus and Mongolia.

Composition of Shilajit


Authentic Shilajit resin contains a natural blend of:

  • Humus (approx. 60–80%) – source of organic carbon
  • Benzoic and hippuric acids
  • Fatty acids and plant sterols
  • Fulvic and humic acids – traditionally associated with micronutrient availability
“Shilajit’s relevance is associated with its ability to interact with micronutrients at the cellular level,” according to scientific literature.
