Frequently Asked Questions
What is shilajit?
Shilajit is a rare mineral resin that seeps from high-altitude Himalayan rock. Formed over thousands of years as ancient plant matter decomposes under immense pressure, it is one of the most mineral-dense substances in nature. Rich in fulvic acid and over 85 essential minerals, it has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for over 3,000 years.
Is your shilajit pure — no additives?
Yes. Atlas Gold shilajit is 100% pure resin — nothing added, nothing removed. No fillers, binders, flavours, preservatives, or flow agents. Just pure Himalayan resin, exactly as nature formed it.
How do I use it?
Take a pea-sized amount (300–500mg) using the included metal spoon. Dissolve in warm water, herbal tea, or warm milk. Best taken on an empty stomach each morning for maximum absorption.
How much should I take?
We recommend starting with a small pea-sized amount (around 300mg) and gradually increasing based on how you feel. You can take anywhere up to 1g per day. A little goes a long way — shilajit is extremely potent and only a small amount is needed for most people.
When will I notice results?
Shilajit works best with consistent daily use. Most customers begin noticing improvements in energy, focus, and overall wellbeing within 1-2 weeks. For deeper benefits like hormonal support and recovery, allow 2–4 weeks of regular use.
Is it safe?
Pure, high-quality shilajit has been used safely for thousands of years. Atlas Gold is sourced from a clean, high-altitude region with no industrial contamination. As with any supplement, we recommend consulting your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication.
Can women take shilajit?
Absolutely. Shilajit is beneficial for both men and women. For women, it supports overall hormonal balance, energy levels, and wellbeing. It is particularly rich in iron and trace minerals that are essential for female health. We do recommend consulting your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Where is your shilajit sourced from?
Our shilajit is sourced exclusively from Gilgit–Baltistan in northern Pakistan — one of the most respected and mineral-rich shilajit regions in the world. We harvest from elevations above 18,000 ft where the resin is purest and most potent. It is harvested seasonally in small batches and never mass-extracted.
What's the difference between resin and powder?
Resin is the most authentic and bioavailable form of shilajit. Powder requires the resin to be dried and processed, which often involves adding fillers and significantly reduces potency. Pure resin retains the full mineral and fulvic acid profile completely intact — exactly as it comes from the mountain. Atlas Gold is sold exclusively in resin form.
