What We Test For — And Why It Matters

Shilajit is a mineral-dense earth resin. That’s what makes it powerful — and it’s also why testing is non-negotiable. Because shilajit forms in rock and soil over centuries, it can absorb heavy metals from its surrounding environment. Without rigorous testing, you have no way of knowing what’s actually in the jar. This is one of the key reasons premium shilajit differs so dramatically from cheap alternatives.

Here’s exactly what every batch of Lajit Gold is tested for:

What We Test Why It Matters Our Standard
Lead (Pb) Neurotoxin; accumulates in bones and organs over time ✅ Passes Prop 65
Arsenic (As) Linked to cancer risk with chronic exposure ✅ Passes Prop 65
Mercury (Hg) Damages the nervous system and kidneys ✅ Passes Prop 65
Cadmium (Cd) Toxic to kidneys; accumulates with repeated exposure ✅ Passes Prop 65
Microbial Contamination Bacteria, mold, and yeast can cause illness ✅ Within Safe Limits
Overall Purity Confirms no adulterants, fillers, or contaminants ✅ Verified Every Batch
✅ California Prop 65: Our results pass California Proposition 65 — the strictest heavy metal safety standard on earth. For context, most fruits and vegetables would fail Prop 65 because the limits are so tight. Lajit Gold passes.

How We Purify Shilajit

Testing is the final verification. But purity starts with how the resin is processed. Here’s our purification process from mountain to jar. For a deeper look at why each step matters, read our full buyer’s guide on what makes premium shilajit different →

1
Harvest
Sherpa families hand-collect raw shilajit resin from rock faces above 16,000 feet in the Himalayas during specific seasonal windows when the resin is most potent.
2
Initial filtration
Raw resin is dissolved in fresh spring water and filtered through cloth to remove rock particles, debris, and physical impurities. No chemical solvents. Ever.
3
Ayurvedic purification
Following traditional methods, the filtered resin is treated with Ayurvedic herbs and sun-dried in controlled conditions. This step has been used for thousands of years to enhance bioavailability and remove residual impurities.
4
Quality concentration
The purified resin is carefully concentrated to achieve consistent potency and texture batch to batch. Temperature is kept below 70°C to preserve fulvic acid integrity.
5
Independent lab testing
Before any batch ships, it goes to an independent, accredited laboratory for full heavy metal and purity testing. If it doesn’t pass, it doesn’t ship. Period.
6
GMP-compliant packaging
Filled and sealed in an FDA GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) compliant facility. Every jar is traceable to its batch number and COA.

Why Most Shilajit Brands Don’t Test

Third-party testing costs money and takes time. For brands sourcing cheap, low-altitude shilajit and selling it at high margins, testing is a liability — because the results might reveal what’s actually in the product.

The supplement industry is largely self-regulated. No law requires shilajit brands to test for heavy metals or publish results. Most don’t. Some test once and apply that result to every batch for years. Others use in-house testing with no independent verification.

Our position is simple: if you won’t show your customers the lab results, you don’t deserve their trust. We publish every COA publicly because we have nothing to hide. Read why sourcing and testing are the most important factors when choosing shilajit →

⚠️ Before you buy any shilajit brand, ask:
1. Can I see the COA for this specific batch?
2. Was it tested by an independent lab?
3. Does it pass California Prop 65 limits?

If the answer to any of these is no or “we don’t share that” — walk away.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Testing

How often do you test?

Every production batch is independently tested before it ships. We do not use a single COA across multiple batches. Each batch has its own unique test results.

Who does your testing?

An independent, accredited third-party laboratory. We do not use in-house testing. The lab has no financial relationship with Lajit Gold — their job is to give accurate results, not favorable ones.

What does “passes Prop 65” mean?

California Proposition 65 sets the strictest heavy metal limits of any regulatory standard in the world. Products that pass Prop 65 are considered safe for daily consumption even at the most conservative safety thresholds. Most fruits and vegetables would fail Prop 65 — our shilajit passes.

Is your facility FDA approved?

Shilajit is a dietary supplement — the FDA does not “approve” supplements. However, our manufacturing facility operates in full compliance with FDA GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) guidelines for dietary supplements, which govern quality control, sanitation, equipment, and record-keeping.

Can I request a COA for a specific batch?

Yes. If your batch number is not listed above, contact us and we’ll provide the relevant COA within 24 hours.

How do I know shilajit is safe to take daily?

When it’s properly purified and third-party tested, shilajit is safe for daily use. See our full dosage guide and safety guidelines →
