Introduction
Shilajit is one of nature’s most powerful minerals, known for boosting energy, improving stamina, and enhancing overall vitality. But today, the market is full of fake or low-quality products that look similar but fail to deliver the real benefits.
At Mashabrum Shilajit, we believe that every customer deserves 100% authentic and pure Himalayan Shilajit. This guide will help you understand how to spot the difference between real and fake Shilajit.
1. The Source Matters
Pure Shilajit comes directly from the high mountains of Gilgit-Baltistan and the Himalayas.
Fake or low-grade Shilajit is usually made by mixing synthetic resins, chemicals, or soil minerals. Always ask for the origin of the Shilajit — Mashabrum Shilajit proudly sources directly from the natural Himalayan ranges.
2. Texture and Form Test
Real Shilajit is soft, sticky, and smooth.
When placed in your hand, it becomes softer with body heat and can easily be stretched like gum.
Fake Shilajit often feels hard or dry, and it doesn’t melt properly — a clear sign of impurities or added materials.
3. Water Test
Add a small piece of Shilajit to a glass of warm water.
-
Pure Shilajit: completely dissolves, leaving no residue, and turns the water into a golden or reddish-brown color.
-
Fake Shilajit: may float, form lumps, or leave muddy residue at the bottom.
4. Flame Test
Take a small piece and bring it close to a flame.
-
Pure Shilajit: does not burn; it only melts slowly.
-
Fake Shilajit: catches fire, burns with black smoke, or smells like plastic — clear signs of contamination.
5. Taste and Smell
Authentic Shilajit has a strong, earthy, and slightly bitter taste with a mineral-rich aroma.
Fake Shilajit often smells like chemicals, oil, or artificial resin — and the taste is unpleasantly metallic or sour.
6. Lab Testing and Certification
Always buy from brands that offer lab-tested and verified Shilajit.
Mashabrum Shilajit is lab tested, heavy-metal free, and processed with traditional filtration methods, ensuring pure quality with full mineral content.
7. Brand Reputation
Trust only reputed and transparent brands.
At Mashabrum Shilajit, we not only sell — we educate and guide customers. Our focus is authenticity, affordability, and natural purity straight from the Himalayan source.
