Shilajit is a natural, tar-like exudate that oozes from layers of rock in high-altitude mountain ranges, primarily the Himalayas, Altai, Caucasus, and Andes. It is formed over centuries by the slow decomposition of plant matter (primarily Euphorbia royleana and Trifolium repens) by microbial action, compressed between rock layers.
Shilajit has gained significant global attention in the nutraceutical and sports nutrition industries due to its multi-target adaptogenic effects, natural origin, strong safety profile, and growing clinical evidence for testosterone support, cognitive function, and mitochondrial health.

Shilajit-solid

True Shilajit comes exclusively from high-altitude mountain sources. LyvBio sources only authentic Himalayan Shilajit with verified fulvic acid content and heavy metals testing.

Primary bioactive components:

Component Content Primary Function

FAQs

Q: What is the difference between Shilajit and fulvic acid?
A: Shilajit is a complex natural substance containing fulvic acid, dibenzo-alpha-pyrones (DBPs), humic acid, and over 85 trace minerals. Fulvic acid is a single component (the most bioactive). Shilajit’s DBPs are responsible for mitochondrial energy effects—not present in isolated fulvic acid. Authentic Shilajit is superior to isolated fulvic acid for adaptogenic and testosterone-supporting effects.

Q: Is Shilajit safe for daily use?
A: Yes. Purified, standardized Shilajit extract (250–500 mg/day) is safe for long-term use. Crude, unpurified Shilajit may contain heavy metals and should be avoided.

Q: Does Shilajit increase testosterone?
A: Yes. A 90-day double-blind, placebo-controlled human clinical study (n=75) showed 250 mg Shilajit twice daily significantly increased total testosterone (19–20%), free testosterone (17–19%), and DHEA (21–23%).

Q: Does Shilajit contain heavy metals?
A: Crude Shilajit naturally contains minerals (including iron) and can contain heavy metals. Purified, extracted, and tested Shilajit (like LyvBio’s) is processed to remove contaminants and tested to meet USP heavy metals limits. Always request a COA with heavy metals testing.

Q: What is the recommended dosage for finished products?
A: General wellness / vitality: 250–500 mg/day. Testosterone support: 500 mg/day (250 mg twice daily). Sports performance: 500 mg pre-workout.

Q: Can Shilajit be used in gummies?
A: Yes, but taste masking is essential. Chocolate, caramel, honey, and mixed berry flavors work well. Dark color of Shilajit will affect final product appearance (brown/dark).

Q: Is Shilajit vegan?
A: Yes. Shilajit is a naturally occurring mineral exudate (plant decomposition product), not animal-derived.

Q: What is your MOQ?
A: Sample orders: 100g–1kg. Trial production: 5–25 kg. Commercial: Negotiable (100kg+ receives volume pricing). Lead time: 3–5 days (samples); 10–15 days (bulk).
