What is Shilajit?
A geological substance — not a herb, not a supplement. Formed over millennia in the Himalayas, and named across the classical Ayurvedic texts.
Shilajit seeps from rock faces high in the Himalayas — a dark resin formed as ancient plant matter is compressed under rock over geological time. Its primary fraction is fulvic acid, alongside a full complex of minerals in ionic form.
In Ayurveda, Shilajit is classified as a Rasayana and holds a celebrated place in classical Ayurvedic texts. Its fulvic acid is described as Yogavahi — a carrier substance paired with other herbs within a formulation.

What NABL means
NABL (National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories) is India’s apex accreditation body. NABL accreditation means a laboratory has been independently assessed against international standards (ISO/IEC 17025) for technical competence and measurement traceability.
What each CoA covers
- Fulvic acid figure and the method used (76.06 g per 100 g by titrimetric (EASI-CHE-SOP-361))
- Heavy-metals panel: lead (Pb), arsenic (As), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd)
- Full mineral complex profile
- Batch identification and traceability
Why source matters
18,000 feet — the altitude where Shilajit forms over millennia under glacial pressure. Kashmir Himalayan Shilajit comes from a specific geological band that classical Ayurvedic texts recognise as the source of the highest-grade resin. Lower altitudes yield lower fulvic acid figures and a higher contamination risk. Ours is from the source.
How to take it
Classical guidance.
Honey sticks
One 8 g stick per day, traditionally in the morning before food — aligning with the classical Rasayana practice of taking such preparations on an empty stomach.
5 Herbs Resin
A pea-sized amount (approximately 300–500 mg) dissolved in warm — not boiling — water, milk, or herbal tea. Excessive heat degrades fulvic acid. Stir until fully dissolved.
Consult your healthcare provider before use, especially if pregnant, nursing, or taking medication.
Frequently asked questions
Is Shilajit safe to take daily?
Shilajit has been used daily in Ayurvedic practice for a very long time. YO-GEE products are dietary supplements. As with any dietary change, if you have existing health conditions, are pregnant, or are taking medication, consult your healthcare provider before starting.
What does Shilajit taste like?
The 5 Herbs Shilajit Resin has a strong, distinctly mineral, slightly bitter taste — the taste of a full mineral complex in ionic form. Our honey sticks use raw honey and real fruit (sea buckthorn) or a whole saffron strand to make that intensity more approachable, without changing what Shilajit fundamentally is.
How is your Shilajit different from cheaper brands?
Three things: altitude, testing, and transparency. Our Shilajit is collected in the Kashmir Himalayas at 18,000 ft — most commercial Shilajit is sourced significantly lower. Every batch is tested at an NABL-accredited lab with a Certificate of Analysis, including the heavy-metals panel (lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium). We disclose the fulvic acid figure and the method used, per batch.
Your honey sticks contain honey — are they suitable for vegans?
Honey is an animal product, so our honey sticks are not vegan. We are transparent about this. Honey is used because Ayurvedic tradition uses it as the primary Anupana (carrier) for Shilajit — a formulation principle, not merely a flavour. The 5 Herbs Shilajit Resin contains no honey.
What does the fulvic acid figure mean?
For batch HB-SRJ-IND-20250124-01, fulvic acid was measured at 76.06 g per 100 g of the material, measured by titrimetric method (a non-NABL-scope method that may include related humic substances). Most commercial Shilajit does not disclose this figure or the method. We disclose both, per batch, on the Certificate of Analysis.
What is GI-tagged Kashmir saffron?
A Geographical Indication (GI) tag is a legally protected origin certification — the same classification system that covers Champagne (France) and Darjeeling tea (India). Kashmir saffron carries a GI tag from the Government of India certifying authentic Kashmir Valley origin. The Saffron Honey Stick contains one whole strand of GI-tagged Kashmir saffron per 8 g pack — visible in every stick. Not extract. Not powder. Not flavouring.
What is in the 5 Herbs Shilajit Resin?
Kashmir Himalayan Shilajit combined with five herbs named in classical Rasayana formulations: Gokshura, Ashwagandha, Curcumin (95% extract), Kali Musli and GI-tagged Kashmir saffron, finished with edible gold leaf. It is classified in Ayurveda as a Rasayana — a class of classical formulations.
