Altai Shilajit Resin — 50g

Pure Himalayan Shilajit by thecary

thecary's Altai Shilajit Resin is sourced from the pristine, high-altitude regions of the Altai mountains — where centuries of geological pressure and decomposed plant matter have produced one of nature's most mineral-dense substances.

Each jar contains 50g of pure shilajit resin, naturally rich in fulvic acid, humic acid, and over 80 trace minerals including iron, magnesium, zinc and selenium. No fillers, no additives, no dilution.

Independently lab-tested for heavy metals, microbial contaminants, and authenticity. Vegan, GMO-free, supplied from the UK in an FSSC 22000 certified facility. 50g yields approximately 100–150 servings — a three to four month supply taken once daily.


What is shilajit?

Shilajit is a tar-like resin that seeps from rocks high in the world's most rugged mountain ranges — the Altai, the Himalayas, the Caucasus, and the Andes. It forms over centuries through the slow decomposition of specific plant material trapped between layers of rock and gradually compressed by extreme pressure.

In Ayurvedic medicine, shilajit has been used for over 3,000 years and is sometimes called "the destroyer of weakness." Its primary active compounds are fulvic acid and humic acid — natural molecules that help carry minerals and nutrients into cells.

Why Altai shilajit?

Altai shilajit comes from the Altai mountain range that spans Russia, Mongolia and Kazakhstan — one of the most ecologically untouched regions on Earth. The combination of harsh climate, mineral-rich geology and minimal industrial pollution produces shilajit with a distinctive fulvic acid profile and exceptionally low contaminant levels compared with shilajit harvested from more populated regions.

What thecary's Shilajit Resin supports

Energy and vitality. Shilajit is most commonly taken to support energy, stamina and physical performance.

Mineral intake. Naturally occurring iron, magnesium, zinc and selenium delivered in a bioavailable form via fulvic acid.

Active lifestyles. Widely used by athletes and active people to support recovery and performance.

Cellular nutrient transport. Fulvic acid acts as a natural carrier molecule, supporting the movement of nutrients into cells and the removal of cellular waste.

Why resin instead of capsules or powder?

Resin is the rawest, most concentrated form of shilajit. Capsules and powders typically contain significantly lower active compound concentrations because of dilution with bulking agents and the heat involved in processing. Resin requires no disintegration in the stomach, so absorption begins immediately. It is also the form used in traditional Ayurvedic practice for thousands of years.

How we test for purity

Authentic shilajit is rare. The market is heavily counterfeited — much of what is sold globally is either diluted, mixed with shoe polish or humic compounds, or sourced from regions with high heavy metal exposure. Every batch of thecary's Altai Shilajit is independently lab-tested for fulvic acid content, heavy metals (lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium), microbial contaminants, and overall authenticity before it reaches your door.

How to take Shilajit Resin
Take a pea-sized amount (approximately 300–500mg) once daily. Dissolve in a warm — not hot — drink: water, milk, plant-based milk, herbal tea, or coffee. Stir until fully blended.

Important: Do not use a metal spoon to scoop the resin, as it may react with the natural iron and copper content. Use the included plastic or wooden spatula, or warm a metal spoon under running water first to make scooping easier.

The flavour is naturally bitter, earthy and mineral-forward. Most people start with a smaller dose for the first week to let the body adjust, then settle into their preferred amount.
Best time: Morning or early afternoon. Most people find shilajit mildly energising, so it is best avoided late in the evening.
Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended dose. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or under medical supervision, consult your GP before use.
