Our first product from Bhutan is ‘Bhutan Shilajit,’ a mineral extract supplement increasingly recognized in the West for its energy-boosting properties—perfect for today’s busy lifestyles.

What is Shilajit? Shilajit, in its natural state, is a black resin formed over thousands of years and originally used in Ayurvedic medicine, which dates back 3,000 years. Ancient texts, such as the Charaka Samhita, describe Shilajit as a powerful “Rasayana” (rejuvenator) believed to enhance longevity and remedy various ailments.

Where Does it Come From? Shilajit forms when organic matter, trapped under layers of rock, is subjected to extreme pressure and temperature fluctuations. In the summer, it seeps from Himalayan mountain slopes at altitudes between 2,000-5,000m. Our Shilajit is exclusively harvested in Bhutan’s pristine Himalayan regions, making it a uniquely potent source of this supplement.

What’s in Shilajit? Raw Shilajit contains over 85 ionic minerals, fulvic and humic acids, trace elements, and vitamins. Fulvic acid, comprising 60-80% of Shilajit’s makeup, enhances cellular energy and supports detoxification. Studies indicate its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, along with potential cognitive benefits.

How is Bhutan Shilajit Made? Shilajit can contain unwanted heavy metals and mycotoxins, so purity is crucial. We partner with a pharmaceutical producer in Thimphu, Bhutan, who follows Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) under the Drug Regulatory Authority of Bhutan. Our process includes a 3-stage purification:

1. Sustainable Collection: Local farmers collect raw material following strict quality protocols.

2. Extensive Cleaning: Initial processing removes impurities from the raw material.

3. Modern Extraction: Advanced extraction methods eliminate toxic impurities, ensuring optimal absorption without chemical additives.

Ensuring Quality We test each batch with a UKAS-accredited lab in the UK for over 20 heavy metals and mycotoxins. Certification is available on request, and a sample certificate from a 2021 batch is included here.

With Bhutan Shilajit, you can trust you’re getting a product of exceptional purity and potency, backed by centuries of traditional use.
