So you want to try shilajit?
Good call. I’ve tried it myself, so here’s my no-nonsense shortlist.
These three are where I’d start
The big thing with shilajit is making sure you’re getting the real deal, because there are a lot of fakes out there. All three of these are:
- Good quality
- Lab tested
- Reasonable price
-
Pure Indian Foods Best Shilajit Ever
Pure resin from high up in the Himalayas, and they publish lab tests for heavy metals. A serving is tiny, just 100 mg.

“I’ve personally tried all three.”
If resin isn’t for you…
Fair enough, it can be a bit more work to take. These capsules are the easy option:
-
Paradise Herbs Shilajit Premium Extract
250 mg of Himalayan shilajit extract per capsule.

Quick honesty moment: they’re a little more processed than the resin, which is the purer form. Not my preferred method, but you should still feel an effect.
Also, I’d recommend this if you don’t take it already
Shilajit is great for energy, but if it starts messing with your sleep, magnesium can help. This one does the job:
-
Solaray High Absorption Magnesium GlycinateVegan
Magnesium glycinate, not the L-threonate type that kept me up. Lab verified.
