You probably already know what shilajit is, but let’s just cover our bases. Shilajit is a naturally occurring substance that forms over centuries from decomposing plant matter in mountainous regions. It was used as a home remedy in traditional Ayurvedic medicine in ancient times, and recent research into its mineral content and potential as an antioxidant has spurred a resurgence in interest in shilajit-based products.
However, this has also led to a rise in counterfeits that may contain dangerous contaminants. And that’s precisely why NutroTonic has written its guide: to help you stay safe.
Luckily, there are a bunch of things you can try at home to test your shilajit products. According to the guide, color and consistency are some of the most reliable indicators of authenticity; genuine shilajit will be dark brown or black with a glossy and tar-like texture, whereas fake shilajit lacks this distinctive luster.
You can also easily evaluate authenticity with a solubility test; genuine shilajit will completely dissolve in warm water and turn it dark brown or black, but fake products will sediment after a period of time.
Moreover, real shilajit has a strong, earthy fragrance and a bitter taste, while many simulants won’t have a discernible smell. Remember, shilajit is made of decomposed plant material, so the real deal will smell and taste like it is.
NutroTonic’s guide also cautions you against purchasing products with suspiciously low prices. Authentic, high-grade shilajit products are derived from sources harvested from high elevations in the Himalayas, and their prices will reflect the costs of extraction, purification, and third-party lab testing.
On the other hand, cheaper products may not be filtered or tested as rigorously, resulting in shilajit contaminated with pesticides, heavy metals, and synthetic fillers - all of which can lead to kidney damage, gastrointestinal issues, and other serious health concerns. A pretty poor trade-off for something that’s supposed to help you with your health!
If it seems too good to be true, it usually is!
So, where can you find authentic shilajit? That’s easy; NutroTonic sells it, and their products are pretty much the gold standard of the industry. If you want to learn more, visit https://nutrotonic.com/ to see why you can’t go wrong with NutroTonic shilajit!
