Shilajit is a naturally occurring substance that forms over centuries from decomposing plant matter in mountainous regions. It was used as a home remedy in traditional Ayurvedic medicine in ancient times, and recent research into its mineral content and potential as an antioxidant has spurred a resurgence in interest in shilajit-based products. However, this has also led to a rise in counterfeits that may contain dangerous contaminants, which NutroTonic aims to help consumers avoid with its latest guide.
According to the guide, color and consistency are some of the most reliable indicators of authenticity; genuine shilajit will be dark brown or black with a glossy and tar-like texture, whereas fake shilajit lacks this distinctive luster. Consumers can also easily evaluate authenticity with a solubility test; genuine shilajit will completely dissolve in warm water and turn it dark brown or black, but fake products will sediment after a period of time. Moreover, real shilajit has a strong, earthy fragrance and a bitter taste, while many simulants won’t have a discernible smell.
NutroTonic’s guide also cautions readers against purchasing products with suspiciously low prices. Authentic, high-grade shilajit products are derived from sources harvested from high elevations in the Himalayas, and their prices will reflect the costs of extraction, purification, and third-party lab testing. Cheaper products may not be filtered or tested as rigorously, resulting in shilajit contaminated with pesticides, heavy metals, and synthetic fillers - all of which can lead to kidney damage, gastrointestinal issues, and other serious health concerns.
“The authenticity of shilajit is important not only for ensuring health benefits but also for protecting consumers from dangerous contaminants,” says a spokesperson for NutroTonic. “With the rise in demand, the market has become flooded with fake products that can pose serious health risks. Identifying counterfeit shilajit is crucial to ensure you’re receiving the benefits from this ancient remedy without compromising your well-being.”
