Purified Asphaltum · 70% Fulvic Acid · Actual BatchThe Ayurvedic "destroyer of weakness" — a mineral-rich rejuvenator from the Himalayas
Shilajit (Asphaltum) is a sticky, tar-like exudate that seeps from rock strata in high-altitude mountain ranges — most prized from the Himalayas. Formed over centuries from the slow decomposition of plant and microbial matter under pressure, it is one of Ayurveda's most revered Rasayana substances, traditionally described as yogavahi (a carrier that enhances the action of other herbs). Its Sanskrit name is often rendered as "conqueror of mountains and destroyer of weakness."
The primary bioactive fraction is fulvic acid — a low-molecular-weight humic substance that chelates and transports minerals — together with dibenzo-α-pyrones (DBPs), humic acid, and a complex of more than 80 trace minerals in ionic form. These constituents collectively underpin Shilajit's energy-supporting, adaptogenic, and antioxidant properties.
Crucially, raw Shilajit is a mineral material that must be purified (Shodhana) before use — filtered, concentrated, and screened to remove insoluble matter and reduce heavy-metal load. SV Botanica supplies only purified, lab-tested extract standardised on fulvic acid, yielding a clean brown fine powder that disperses readily in formulations.
We supply sports-nutrition brands, men's-health and nootropic formulators, Ayurvedic manufacturers, and contract packers across Europe, the USA, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Every batch is backed by a Certificate of Analysis and full export documentation — start a conversation with our team via the quote request form.
Key compounds driving Shilajit's therapeutic profile
The principal marker and carrier molecule. Chelates minerals, aids cellular nutrient transport, and is quantified gravimetrically as the primary CoA specification.
Small lipophilic molecules considered the mitochondrial-active fraction — linked to ATP and CoQ10 function in preclinical research.
Higher-molecular-weight humic substance contributing antioxidant capacity and the characteristic dark colour.
More than 80 minerals in ionic, bioavailable form — including iron, magnesium, zinc, and selenium.
Phenolic and amino-acid constituents complementing the antioxidant and adaptogenic activity of the extract.
Standardised at 20%–70% in graded products. Total fulvic acid content is the headline specification on every CoA.
Evidence from Ayurvedic texts, clinical studies, and ethnopharmacological research
Dibenzo-α-pyrones support mitochondrial ATP and CoQ10 activity. A study reported that processed Shilajit helped preserve muscle energy and reduce fatigue during sustained exercise — a key rationale for its use in energy and sports formulations.
Ref: Surapaneni DK et al., 2012; J EthnopharmacolA clinical study in healthy men reported that purified Shilajit (250 mg twice daily) supported total and free testosterone within the normal range over 90 days, alongside markers of vitality — underpinning its men's-health positioning.
Ref: Pandit S et al., 2016; AndrologiaFulvic acid has been studied for its interaction with protein aggregation in preclinical models, and Shilajit is traditionally used as a brain tonic (medhya). A growing application in nootropic and healthy-ageing cognition blends.
Ref: Carrasco-Gallardo C et al., 2012; Int J Alzheimers DisThe fulvic-bound trace-mineral complex provides minerals in an ionic, readily absorbed form. Shilajit is studied as an adjunct for iron status and is used in mineral-support and general-tonic formulations.
Ref: Velmurugan C et al., 2013; Pharmacognosy ResFulvic and humic constituents scavenge free radicals and support cellular redox balance. The Rasayana classification in Ayurveda aligns with modern data showing reduced oxidative-stress markers — relevant to healthy-ageing positioning.
Ref: Bhattacharyya S et al., 2009; Phytother ResTraditionally used as a restorative tonic, Shilajit is positioned as an adaptogen that supports stamina and recovery. It is frequently paired with Ashwagandha in male-vitality and stress-resilience blends.
Ref: Stohs SJ, 2014; Phytother Res (review)Shilajit pairs naturally with other vitality adaptogens — see our Ashwagandha Extract and Gokshura Extract for complementary men's-health formulations.

Representative batch assay on file: 70% grade — 71.04% fulvic acid (CoA SVB-COA-SJ-0326-01, batch SVB/SJ/2603-01). All grades are purified and heavy-metal tested by ICP-MS. Custom standardisations, DBP-quantified grades, and mesh sizes available for orders ≥100 kg.
Shilajit is bought in four forms. The purified dry extract powder is the stocked item; the others are sourced against a confirmed order.
| Form | What it is | Specification basis | Availability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purified dry extract powder | Himalayan shilajit exudate, purified, filtered and dried | Fulvic acid 20, 50 or 70% (gravimetric); lead, arsenic, mercury and cadmium; microbial panel | Stocked |
| Water-soluble granules | Spray-dried or granulated purified extract, ≥85% soluble | Fulvic acid ≥20% equivalent; solubility | On request; beverages, shots, effervescents, gummies |
| DBP-standardised extract | Purified extract specified on dibenzo-α-pyrones by HPLC rather than fulvic acid | DBPs by HPLC; fulvic acid reported alongside | On request |
| Shilajit resin (semi-solid) | Purified, undried shilajit paste | Moisture, fulvic acid, heavy metals; identity | On enquiry, subject to lot |
Purification is the specification that matters most: raw shilajit carries lead, arsenic and mercury that purified material must not. See purified vs raw shilajit, fulvic acid vs DBPs and the dosage and formulation guide, which covers gummies and shots.

Fulvic acid is quantified gravimetrically — the accepted method for this complex humic fraction, which has no single HPLC marker. Dibenzo-α-pyrone (DBP) content by HPLC is available on request for pharmaceutical-grade buyers. A current Certificate of Analysis, MSDS, and allergen/Non-GMO declarations are issued with every batch. Specifications for 20% and 50% grades available on request.
From raw exudate to purified extract — traceable, tested, certified
Raw Material Sourcing: Raw Shilajit (Asphaltum) is wildcrafted from authenticated high-altitude Himalayan rock formations. Because the raw exudate carries soil, plant debris, and naturally occurring heavy metals, sourcing is followed by rigorous purification — this is the single most important quality step for Shilajit and the reason unpurified "raw resin" should never be used in regulated supplements.
Purification & Manufacturing: The exudate is solubilised, filtered to remove insoluble inorganic matter, concentrated, and dried in GMP-certified facilities (WHO-GMP and ISO 22000 audited). Each batch runs through a full QC battery — gravimetric fulvic-acid assay, TLC fingerprint, heavy-metals ICP-MS, and a complete microbiological panel — before release. Standardisation locks fulvic acid to the target grade (20%, 50%, or 70%).
Documentation: Every shipment comes with a Certificate of Analysis (CoA), MSDS, Allergen Declaration, BSE/TSE-free statement, Non-GMO affidavit, Country of Origin Certificate, and Phytosanitary Certificate. Kosher certification is standard; Halal is available on request. To qualify our facility or request specifications, reach our team through the certifications page or the quote form.
Full compliance for global B2B supply
Key information for global product registration and labelling
Regulatory status of Shilajit varies by member state, and some authorities apply Novel Food scrutiny to mineral exudates. Buyers should confirm national status before market entry. Where permitted, labelling must comply with Regulation (EU) 1169/2011, with heavy-metal compliance documented per batch.
Marketed as a dietary ingredient under DSHEA (21 CFR Part 111). No pre-market approval required for dietary supplements, but importer facility registration with the FDA is needed. Heavy-metal limits (e.g. California Prop 65) make purified, ICP-MS-tested material essential. Structure-function claims require substantiation and FDA notification.
Recognised as a classical Ayurvedic substance under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, and FSSAI-relevant for supplement use under the FSS (Health Supplements) Regulations 2022. Widely accepted in the Middle East (Halal grades), Southeast Asia, and other markets that recognise Ayurvedic ingredients, subject to local heavy-metal limits.
