FAQs
WHAT IS SHILAJIT?
Shilajit is a natural mineral-rich resin that forms over centuries from decomposed plant matter in high mountain rocks. Our 100% Pure Himalayan Shilajit is a concentrated resin, traditionally used as part of daily wellness routines to support overall vitality, strength and focus.
WHAT MAKES TRUE ORIGIN SHILAJIT DIFFERENT?
We focus on one thing and do it properly: pure resin. Our shilajit is wild-harvested from high-altitude regions of the Himalayas, traditionally purified, sun-dried and packed in protective Miron violet glass. There are no fillers, flavours, powders or additives – just pure Himalayan shilajit resin.
WHERE IS YOUR SHILAJIT SOURCED FROM?
Our shilajit is sourced from the Himalayan mountain range, where it naturally seeps from rock formations at high altitudes. We work with trusted partners to ensure responsible harvesting and proper purification before it reaches our UK facility.
IS TRUE ORIGIN SHILAJIT PURE RESIN?
Yes. True Origin offers 100% pure Himalayan shilajit resin. We do not blend it with other herbs, gums, sweeteners or bulking agents. What you see in the jar is authentic shilajit resin.
HOW DO I TAKE TRUE ORIGIN SHILAJIT?
Using the provided spoon, take a small pea-sized amount (around 0.25g), dissolve it in warm water, milk, tea or your favourite hot drink, and stir until fully mixed. Drink once fully dissolved. Avoid boiling temperatures as extremely high heat is not necessary.
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO TAKE IT?
Most people prefer taking shilajit in the morning to support their daily routine, or before demanding mental or physical tasks. Others like a second serving earlier in the day. We generally don’t recommend taking it too close to bedtime if you find it makes you feel more alert.
WHAT IS THE SERVING SIZE & HOW LONG DOES A JAR LAST?
Our recommended serving is approximately 0.25g (pea-sized) per day. A 30g jar contains around 120 servings, so used once daily it can last roughly four months, depending on how much you use.
CAN I COMBINE SHILAJIT WITH OTHER SUPPLEMENTS?
Yes, many people take shilajit alongside other supplements as part of their daily routine. However, if you’re on prescription medication or under medical supervision, we always recommend checking with your healthcare professional before adding any new supplement.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO NOTICE A DIFFERENCE?
Everyone is different. Some people feel a change in their routine or overall energy quite quickly, while for others it’s more gradual. Consistency is key – we generally suggest using shilajit daily for a few weeks to see how it fits into your lifestyle.
DOES TRUE ORIGIN SHILAJIT CONTAIN CAFFEINE?
No. Our Himalayan Shilajit is naturally caffeine-free. Any feeling of increased alertness or stamina is not from stimulants, but from adding this mineral-rich resin to your daily routine.
WHAT DOES SHILAJIT TASTE LIKE?
Shilajit has a distinct, earthy and slightly bitter, mineral taste. Most people find it easier to take when dissolved in a warm drink rather than on its own. You can adjust the amount of liquid to make the flavour milder.
HOW SHOULD I STORE MY SHILAJIT?
Keep the jar tightly closed and store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. If the resin becomes firmer in cooler temperatures, this is normal – you can gently warm the jar in your hands or place it (closed) in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes to soften it.
WHY DO YOU USE MIRON GLASS JARS?
Miron violet glass helps protect the resin from light and oxidation, supporting freshness and potency over time. It’s also reusable and recyclable, aligning with our focus on quality and thoughtful packaging.
IS TRUE ORIGIN SHILAJIT LAB TESTED?
Yes. Each batch is tested for quality and purity, including checks for heavy metals and contaminants, before being approved for sale. We only release batches that meet our internal standards.
IS IT SUITABLE FOR VEGANS AND VEGETARIANS?
Shilajit is a plant- and mineral-based resin and does not contain animal tissue. However, as it is a natural exudate from rock and soil, classification can vary between individuals and certifying bodies. If you follow a strict vegan protocol, we recommend reviewing the nature of shilajit and deciding based on your own preference.
CAN I TAKE SHILAJIT IF I’M PREGNANT, BREASTFEEDING OR ON MEDICATION?
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, under 18, or taking prescription medication / have a medical condition, please speak to your doctor or healthcare professional before using shilajit or any supplement.
IS SHILAJIT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN?
True Origin Shilajit is formulated for adults only and is not recommended for children.
