Quality proof
Four tests from a third-party laboratory, covering the questions buyers ask most: heavy metals, microbiology, fulvic acid content and aflatoxins. Each one below is the original report, not a summary we wrote ourselves.
Lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury
The four metals that can be picked up from rock and soil. They matter more for shilajit than for most products, because it comes straight out of the mountain.
Each metal is measured and set against an accepted safety limit. The report shows the amount found, the limit it is compared with, and whether it passed.
Bacteria, yeast and mould
The overall count of bacteria, yeast and mould in the resin, plus a check for specific harmful organisms that food labs screen for as standard.
Whether the resin was processed and packed cleanly. Low counts, and "not detected" against the harmful organisms, are what you want to see.
Fulvic and humic acid content
How much fulvic acid and humic acid the resin contains, each measured as a percentage of the sample.
These two compounds are what make shilajit what it is. The figures help tell genuine resin apart from a product that has been diluted or bulked out with something cheaper.
Toxins from moulds
Toxins made by certain moulds that can grow on natural products if they are dried or stored in damp conditions. The main types are usually listed on the report as B1, B2, G1 and G2.
Whether the resin was dried and stored properly after it was collected. Import checks in many markets look for aflatoxins, so a clean result matters to anyone importing too. "Not detected", or a result below the limit, is what you want to see.
Reading a report
Lab reports are written for other labs, not for the people buying. These are the terms you will see on ours, and on anyone else's.
The amount the lab actually measured in the sample it was sent.
The highest amount an accepted standard permits. The result should sit below it.
So little, if any, that the lab's equipment could not measure it. The best result a test can give.
Milligrams per kilogram, the same thing as parts per million. The smaller the number, the less there is.
