Why Quality Is Crucial When Buying Shilajit
Shilajit is a resinous substance formed over centuries from the decomposition of plant material and minerals in mountain rocks, primarily in regions like the Altai Mountains in Kazakhstan and the Himalayas. It contains over 85 minerals, fulvic acid, humic acid, and antioxidants, working synergistically to support the body at a cellular level. In Ayurveda, Shilajit is used as an adaptogen to manage stress, boost energy, and promote balance. Want to learn more about what Shilajit is and how to use it?

The quality of Shilajit is essential because impure or poorly processed products can contain heavy metals, bacteria, or other contaminants, posing health risks. Only high-quality Shilajit, like Vitadote’s, offers benefits like energy, focus, and recovery. Our Shilajit is lab-tested for purity and fulvic acid content, with certifications like NVWA (REF: 202341141-V02), HACCP, and KOAG/KAG (REF: 10156-0524-913), ensuring a safe and effective product.
How to Choose the Best Shilajit? 5 Essential Criteria
When selecting Shilajit, focus on these key factors to identify top brands:
1. Origin and Purity
The origin of Shilajit determines its quality. Shilajit from the Altai Mountains, like Vitadote’s Altai Shilajit resin, comes from a region with minimal pollution, ensuring a pure and potent product. Himalayan Shilajit can vary due to unregulated harvesting. Always check if the supplier specifies the exact origin and conducts lab tests for contaminants like heavy metals.
Practical Tip: Opt for Altai Shilajit for superior purity. Learn more about origins in Altai vs Himalayan Shilajit: Differences, Benefits and Which to Buy?.
2. Certifications and Testing
Reliable brands provide transparency through certifications and independent testing. Vitadote’s Shilajit is:
- NVWA-certified (REF: 202341141-V02), meeting Dutch food safety standards.
- HACCP-certified across the entire supply chain, from harvest to packaging.
- KOAG/KAG-approved (REF: 10156-0524-913) for transparent packaging and website.
These certifications ensure the product is free from harmful substances.
Practical Tip: Ask for certificates and lab reports. See Shilajit Certifications: NVWA, HACCP Explained.
3. Form and Composition
Shilajit comes in various forms, such as resin, tablets, and soon capsules. The best brands offer pure products without fillers or artificial additives. Vitadote’s resin (0.2-0.3g per dose) and tablets (200 mg per tablet) are vegan, gluten-free, and GMO-free, with high fulvic acid content. Check if the brand discloses the composition (e.g., fulvic acid percentage) and if the product is lab-tested.
Practical Tip: Choose resin for maximum potency or tablets for convenience. Compare forms in Shilajit Resin vs Tablets: Which Form Is Better and Why?.
4. Customer Reviews and Reputation
Trustworthy brands have consistent, verified customer reviews on platforms like Bol.com and Instagram. Vitadote receives praise for purity and effectiveness, with users reporting improvements in energy and focus. Be skeptical of brands with overly positive or vague reviews, which may indicate low quality.
Practical Tip: Look for specific feedback on purity and effects. Read experiences in Shilajit Experiences: Reviews and What to Expect.
5. Transparency and Sustainability
Top brands are transparent about their production process and prioritize sustainability. Vitadote harvests Shilajit with respect for nature and local communities in the Altai Mountains, ensuring a minimal ecological footprint. Check if the brand shares information on sustainability and ethical sourcing.
Practical Tip: Choose brands that prioritize sustainability and provide transparent supply chain information.
