Shilajit has moved from a niche Ayurvedic ingredient to something formulators across the wellness industry actively look for. That demand has also brought a flood of suppliers, and not all of them are working with the real thing. If you're sourcing it in bulk, a few checks go a long way before you sign off on an order.
Ask what's actually in it Shilajit's value comes from its fulvic acid content and mineral profile, and that should be something your supplier can quantify, not just describe. If they can't share test data on fulvic acid percentage, be cautious — a lot of what's sold as shilajit extract is diluted or poorly purified.
Purification matters as much as the source Raw shilajit contains heavy metals and impurities that need to be removed through proper purification. Ask exactly how the supplier processes it, and whether they test for heavy metal contamination afterward. This isn't optional for anything going into a supplement.
Documentation, before you're locked in COA, MSDS, heavy metal testing reports — get these upfront. A supplier who's genuinely confident in their purification process won't make you wait weeks to see the data.
Batch consistency, not just one clean sample Shilajit sourced from different regions or seasons can vary quite a bit in composition. Ask how the supplier maintains consistency across batches, especially if you're planning recurring orders rather than a one-off purchase.
Check the format fits your product Shilajit extract comes in different forms — resin, powder, or standardised extract — and each behaves differently in formulation. A supplier who understands this will help you pick the right format instead of just offering whatever they stock.
Confirm it meets your market's standards If the product is headed for export, make sure the specification and testing align with what that market actually requires, not a generic compliance claim.
Ask about order flexibility Whether you're piloting shilajit in a new product or already scaling one, your supplier should be able to work with sample quantities as well as larger production runs.
At Shri Ahimsa, we've processed and exported natural botanical extracts since 1990, with tested, standardised material and documentation ready whenever procurement teams need it.
