Shilajit is a mineral-rich resin used in Ayurvedic medicine for over 3,000 years, valued for its fulvic acid content. Feel Supreme's Altai Shilajit is independently lab-tested above 85% fulvic acid - well above the 75% typical of premium Himalayan resins. In a 90-day randomised, placebo-controlled trial, men aged 45-55 taking Shilajit saw significant increases in testosterone levels compared to placebo; separate research has examined its role in cellular energy production.

Formed over centuries. Backed by modern science.

Shilajit is one of the oldest substances in Ayurvedic medicine - used for over 3,000 years across the Himalayas, Central Asia and Tibet as what practitioners called a rasayana: a rejuvenating compound for longevity and vitality. Western science has spent the last two decades catching up, and what's emerging is genuinely interesting.

What makes this resin different

Not all Shilajit is equal. The differentiating factor is fulvic acid concentration - and this is where Feel Supreme's Altai Shilajit stands apart from almost everything else on the market. Each batch is independently lab tested and guaranteed above 85% fulvic acid. The most recent batch came in at 88.9%. For context, premium Himalayan Shilajit products typically reach 75%. Many competitors advertise theirs as "the purest available" while their lab reports show 50-68%. We've checked.

The resin is sourced from the Altai Mountain ranges in Mongolia - a lesser-known but exceptionally high-quality source - and heavy metal content tests at just 0.001%, the lowest we've found anywhere.

What the research shows

Mitochondrial function and energy - shilajit's dibenzo-α-pyrones enhance ATP production at the cellular level, making it particularly relevant for fatigue and sustained physical performance.

Cognitive health and neuroprotection - fulvic acid has been shown to inhibit the aggregation of tau proteins, the mechanism linked to Alzheimer's disease progression. Research describes it as a promising candidate for prevention of neurodegenerative conditions.

Testosterone and male vitality - a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in men aged 45-55 found significant increases in total and free testosterone after 90 days of Shilajit supplementation compared to placebo.

Over 80 Trace Minerals. All Bioavailable.

Beyond these, Shilajit contains over 80 trace minerals in ionic form - among the most bioavailable forms available - supporting everything from bone density to immune function to mood.

How to take it

Dissolve a pea-sized amount (approximately 300-400mg, using the spoon provided) in warm water, milk, or any hot drink. Avoid very hot liquids to preserve potency. At that daily dose, a 50g jar provides roughly a 4-month supply. Effects on energy and mental clarity are typically noticeable within days to weeks with consistent use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Shilajit used for?
Traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine as a rejuvenating compound, modern research has focused on cellular energy production, cognitive/neuroprotective effects, and testosterone levels in men.

How much fulvic acid does this Shilajit contain?
Independently lab-tested above 85% - the most recent batch came in at 88.9%, compared to roughly 75% for typical premium Himalayan Shilajit.

How do you take Shilajit resin?
Dissolve a pea-sized amount (around 300-400mg) in warm water, milk, or a hot drink - avoid very hot liquids, which can reduce potency.

How long does one jar last?
Roughly four months at the standard daily dose.

Who shouldn't take Shilajit?
Anyone with sickle cell anaemia, haemochromatosis, or thalassemia should avoid it, and it shouldn't be combined with iron supplements. Consult your doctor if pregnant, nursing, or on medication.
