Frequently Asked Questions

Discover why the Altai origin is the choice of nutrition experts.

What is the difference between Shilajit from the Altai and that from the Himalayas?

The main difference between Shilajit from the Altai and that from the Himalayas lies in their geographical origin and environmental purity. Altai Purity: Our Altai Shilajit comes from the most remote and wild regions of Mongolia and Siberia, at altitudes of over 3,000 meters. This area is untouched by human activity, making its harvest extremely difficult and rare. Himalayan Environment: In contrast, Himalayan Shilajit is often harvested in more accessible areas, close to densely populated regions (India, China). These areas face some of the highest levels of air pollution in the world, which can affect the raw quality of the product. Accessibility and Price: Being easier to extract and mass-produced, Himalayan Shilajit is generally less expensive, but it often presents higher risks of contamination. Our choice: At Altai Origin, we exclusively favor Altai Shilajit because it meets the strictest European purity standards, guaranteeing a product free of heavy metals and rich in intact nutrients. And you, do you prefer the wild rarity of the Altai or the accessibility of the Himalayas?

How to consume pure Shilajit resin for optimal effect?

To maximize the benefits of our Shilajit Altai Origin, we recommend regular consumption in the morning, preferably on an empty stomach. Here are two optimal methods depending on your schedule: Pure Resin (The traditional format): Dosage: Take a portion the size of a small pea (approximately 250 mg to 500 mg). Preparation: Dissolve it in a glass of lukewarm water or tea. Warm water is ideal for quickly releasing the minerals and fulvic acid. Effect: Ideal for starting the day with nutrient-rich hydration and increased mental clarity. Tablets (Compressed resin - Fast option): Format: These are tablets of pure hardened resin, without any chemical additives. For people in a hurry: If you are short on time in the morning, you can simply swallow the tablet like a regular supplement with a glass of water. Mixed use: They can also be dissolved in water if you prefer, offering the same effectiveness as resin. Frequency: One tablet in the morning and one at midday for a total intake of 500 mg. Expert tip: Consistency is key. Whether you choose resin or tablets, daily use is necessary to fully experience the effects on energy and recovery.

What is the fulvic acid content in Mongolian Golden Shilajit?

At Altai Origin, we champion complete transparency. The fulvic acid content of our Shilajit is certified at 48.1% by rigorous tests conducted in Europe by the Eurofins laboratory. Truth vs. Marketing: While many sellers of Himalayan Shilajit advertise purity levels of 70% or 80% without any evidence or through unrecognized laboratories, we stick to the scientific facts. A purity level of 48.1% certified by Eurofins guarantees genuine effectiveness and meets the strictest European standards. Raw Quality: To maintain this exceptional fulvic acid content, our resin is never subjected to high temperatures during extraction or packaging. This cold processing method preserves the molecular integrity of this valuable organic compound. Essential for Everyone: Fulvic acid is nature's "nutrient carrier." It helps the body absorb minerals more efficiently, which is vital for muscle recovery in men and energy balance in women. Proof of Quality: You can view our certificates of analysis directly in our "Eurofins Analyses" section to verify the purity of each batch.

Is Shilajit Altai Origin safe and free of heavy metals?

The safety of our customers is our top priority. To guarantee a product of impeccable purity, we don't just test the nutrients; we also subject our Shilajit to rigorous safety analyses. TÜV Certification: In addition to our Eurofins analyses, our Shilajit has undergone testing by TÜV, one of the world's most demanding certification bodies. These tests confirm that our product strictly complies with European standards regarding heavy metals. Absence of heavy metals: Unlike some cheap Shilajit products that may contain lead, arsenic, or mercury due to poor filtration, TÜV analyses demonstrate that heavy metal levels in our Shilajit are virtually non-existent. Why is this crucial? Shilajit is a resin that absorbs everything in its environment. If the harvesting site is polluted or if the purification process is botched (as is often the case with industrial products), it can become toxic. Our dual Eurofins + TÜV certification is proof that our Altai origin guarantees complete safety. Beyond marketing: For us, quality is not just talk. Each batch is checked to ensure it is perfectly safe for human consumption over the long term. See for yourself: You can view all our lab reports in the [TÜV & Eurofins Certified Analyses] section of our menu. We are committed to complete transparency to guarantee you a product of absolute purity.

Can women use Mongolian Golden Shilajit?

Absolutely. Shilajit is not an exclusively male product; it is extremely beneficial for the overall balance of the female body. Mineral Balance: Women often have increased needs for iron and magnesium. Our Shilajit provides over 85 minerals in a highly absorbable ionic form. Vitality and Stress: As an adaptogen, it helps regulate the stress response and combat daily fatigue. Purity Guaranteed by our Analyses: Unlike uncontrolled products which may contain hormonal pollutants, our Shilajit benefits from Quality Controlled by Eurofins (Fulvic Acid at 48.1%) and TÜV (absence of heavy metals). Hormonal Support: Fulvic acid helps with the body's natural detoxification, thus promoting a healthy hormonal system.

Is it safe to take Shilajit every day?

The safety of daily consumption depends entirely on the purity of the product and the absence of accumulating contaminants. Strict Heavy Metal Control: Unlike many raw materials, our Shilajit undergoes rigorous TÜV testing. These analyses certify that heavy metal levels (such as lead or arsenic) are virtually nonexistent, which is essential for regular use. Recommended Dosage: For optimal benefit, we recommend a daily intake of 250 mg to 500 mg. Adhering to this dose allows your body to benefit from essential minerals without overloading it. Preventive Approach: Although our Shilajit is of Eurofins certified purity (48.1% fulvic acid), we recommend, as a precaution, taking a one-week break after each 3- to 4-week cycle of use. This allows your body to maintain its natural regulation. Consult a Professional: As with any dietary supplement, if you have pre-existing medical conditions or are pregnant, it is recommended to consult your doctor before prolonged daily use. Proof through analysis: For your peace of mind, you can view our latest safety reports in the [TÜV & Eurofins Certified Analyses] section of our menu.

Can I take Golden Shilajit from Mongolia if I have a sensitive stomach?

Shilajit is generally well tolerated, but for people with digestive sensitivities, the purity of the product and the method of consumption are crucial. Guaranteed Purity (Additive-Free): Gastric irritations often stem from chemical additives or heavy metal residues found in low-quality products. Thanks to our TÜV analyses, we guarantee a pure resin, free from any contaminants that are harmful to the gastric mucosa. Recommended consumption: If you have a sensitive stomach, we advise against taking Shilajit on an empty stomach. Consume it approximately 30 minutes after a light meal, diluted in a large glass of lukewarm water. Warm water facilitates gentle dissolution and gradual absorption. Adaptogenic Nature: Shilajit is traditionally used to support digestive balance thanks to its richness in fulvic acid (48.1% certified by Eurofins), which helps better assimilation of nutrients without weighing down digestion. Listen to your body: Start with a very small dose (half a pea) to observe the reaction of your digestive system before moving on to the standard dose of 500 mg. Quality Advice: Transparency is our commitment. Consult our full reports on the purity of our resin in the [TÜV & Eurofins Certified Analyses] tab.

I do weight training. Is Golden Shilajit from Mongolia effective for muscle growth or recovery?

Absolutely. Shilajit has been considered for millennia as a powerful ally for physical vitality and athletic performance, for both men and women. Energy support (ATP): Shilajit helps stimulate the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the primary source of cellular energy. This results in improved endurance during your workouts. Optimized recovery: Thanks to its more than 85 minerals and its fulvic acid level of 48.1% certified by Eurofins, it promotes faster muscle recovery after exercise. Safety for athletes: Unlike many questionable supplements, our Shilajit is TÜV tested to guarantee the absence of heavy metals, giving you pure strength without compromising your health. Adaptogenic Action: It helps the body to better manage the physical stress caused by intense exercise, thus promoting an environment conducive to natural muscle growth. Science at the service of your strength: For total transparency, we invite you to consult our full purity reports in the [TÜV & Eurofins Certified Analyses] section of our menu.
