Shilajit Resin Benefits
Minimally Processed for Maximum Potency
Shilajit is the #1 rated herb in Ayurvedic Medicine. It is highly regarded as the most powerful anti-aging substance known to the people of India.*
In fact, according to legends it is believed to be a nectar of the gods, to be magical or have divine powers.* And it has historically been used as a Cure-All.*
It is certainly a powerful adaptogen and Jing substance.* It was even kept Secret by Top Yogis so they could get the benefits themselves.
Shilajit was once plant material 50 million years ago that was compressed from the mountains and eaten up by microbes resulting in a tar-like substance. It is also said that this can help return the libido to the levels of youthful teenagers.*

Shilajit Contains Large Amounts of Fulvic Acid
Fulvic acid is one of the main constituents of shilajit that has some amazing benefits.
- Helps move minerals and other nutrients into the tissues that need them*
- Free radical scavenger [16]*
- Supports the immune system [16]*
- Most powerful natural electrolyte known, balancing our cells [16]*
- Makes minerals bioavailable [16]*
Once our food supply had a regular amount of fulvic acids, but over the years it has become virtually non-existent.
Shilajit also contains Humic Acids
These are known to give you:
- Increased Energy*
- Decreased Appetite*
- Better Sleep*
- Stress Reduction*
The humic acids, extracted from shilajit, were shown to help increase the deliverability of an antiepileptic drug significantly. [13]*
Shilajit has also been found to contain fullerenes, also known as C60.[16] These carbon molecules have limited preliminary research showing they may be powerful for anti-aging purposes.*
Shilajit is Tri-Doshic
If you know your dosha you can combine shilajit of any type with another substance for best effect.
- Vata – Sesame Oil
- Pitta – Ghee
- Kapha – Honey
Our Source and Process
Our shilajit resin is sourced at over 14,000 feet in the Himalayan Mountains in Bhutan. Ours is a combination of gold shilajit (swarna) and copper shilajit (tamra). Its high quality is assured by the testing for dibenzo-alpha-pyrones, fulvic and humic acids.
This shilajit resin is collected from waterlogged areas. It is put into wooden barrels for 14 days so that the water gets settled down further. This slurry is rubbed through cotton cloth for filtering. That’s it! This is the least amount of processing available for shilajit which is reflected in both the taste and potency.
Shilajit Resin Directions for Use
Having tried many other shilajits I have to say this is the best-tasting shilajit I’ve ever had. Slightly tar-like flavor with a little bit of grit. That being said, not everyone may like it’s strong taste right away.
Your shilajit resin comes in a miron glass jar along with one of our 100 mg spoons. We recommend using the back end of the spoon as it is a sticky substance and it will gum up the head of the spoon.
The recommended dose is 100 mg which is best taken first thing in the morning. That’s about the size of half a pea. The simplest way to take shilajit resin is to put it directly in your mouth. Allow it to dissolve or simply swallow it down.
It is not recommended to combine shilajit with citrus juices, as this may make aluminum content more bioavailable.
Warning: you may end up with shilajit lips or teeth. This is not permanent.
Remember, it can also be mixed with anything else to enhance the potency and absorption. You can take more doses spread throughout the day if you wish.
Note: Please make sure to store this container in a cool dry place. Take care to keep the threads of the jar and lid clean and free of the pitch as this can cause the container to become ‘glued’ shut. We cannot replace shilajit that has become closed in this manner.
Shilajit’s Side Effects
Shilajit has been in use for thousands of years in Ayurveda. If it was dangerous it would have fallen in disfavor. If there are side effects they’re more likely caused by ‘fake shilajit’ or improperly processed kinds.
Shilajit is not recommended in people with gout as it can increase uric acid levels. Diabetics also need to be extremely careful with it and monitor any medication that can lower blood sugar levels and possibly have insulin like effects.
Historically pregnant women have used shilajit, though the West would consider it untested. Consult with your doctor. Historically shilajit has also been used with children but with smaller doses of course.
Some research with rats looked at giving them massive doses and found no liver toxicity or excessive iron. [7] Our shilajit powder and resin is California Prop 65 compliant. Because of the raw materials and how its processed you will find extremely low levels of lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury in it. In fact, shilajit and the fulvic acid it contains seems ideally suited to helping your body to detox heavy metals such as these.*

I’ve been taking the Shilajit Resin for about a month now I started with the powder first the resin was out of stock at the time since taking Shilajit the effects are amazing ..I can honestly say I was addicted to energy drinks I just never had enough energy to get threw the day .. since trying Shilajit I’ve completely quit energy drinks .. I also wanted a natural alternative to synthetic garbage I put in my body and this product in combination with Ashwagandha Spagyric tincture and the Schisandra Berry helped me get off the antidepressants I’ve been taking for a long time .. I’m completely sold on the products here my husband has started taking them as well and I’ve told several friends and family members about the benefits we have experienced … you feel boundless energy, clear headed and focused, decreased food cravings, increased sex drive .. the list goes on and on ..The instructional videos are a huge help I’ve never taken powder supplements like this before and I was happy to get the “how to” emails ..
I look forward to trying new products .. Thank You Lost Empire
You Have Changed My Life ..

Tip on taking Shilajit Resin: On days that I work out I put a dab of resin on half a protein bar (Quest is my favorite) half an hour before exercising and eat them together. The taste is hardly noticeable.

Excellent tip, Tom. Thanks for sharing!

Is it safe to take lemon/citric oil, juice 2 hours after taking shilajit? One of your reps said it’s safe as long you don’t take them together just not the same time. I drink lemon juice and lemon oil daily so I must know asap please! Also does the same
Go for citric acid? Or its just citrus fruit itself that make the aluminum/ heavy metals
In shilajit bio available?!
Zane Christopher –
Hi Shawn, I apologize for the late reply. It is safe and I believe in an article Logan wrote (which I can’t find for some reason) he stated taking lemon/citric oil 2 hours after as the minimum. I am not 100% on whether it is the citric acid itself or something else in the fruits but since they recommend 2 hours in between consumption for lemon/limes and other citrus fruits I would think it is actually the citric acid. Better safe then sorry on that one.

Question: I have a little bit of shilijit resin left in my jar but due to the weather (I guess) it is returning to a natural rock formation. Any tips on softening it up without just dunking it in water?
Ken (verified owner) –
Your shi’t is da bomb! (Note apostrophe — it’s a contraction) I generally [used to] get 2-3 colds per year, one of them typically ending up in bronchitis. I haven’t had a cold in more than 18 months since taking this. And I’m 60! I find the resin much more palatable and effective than the powder. Sometimes I mix it with my Ayurvedic Chyawanprash. Please consider carrying. (Miss your old superman shi’t pitch, tho’.)
Zane Christopher –
Hi Ken. Glad you like it! We have tried a brand of Chyawanprash from the same supplier of our old shilajit pitch but at the time it was too big a hassle to carry. I am not sure that we would necessarily add it to the normal product line anytime soon but I will add it to the VIP list of things to try out. Thank you for the idea. Hope you are member of that list!
We actually tried to get the old pitch we carried as well but the supplier had to stop carrying it right when we were gonna bring it back. We do not know why and this makes us sad. :'(

How to prevent the shilajit resin lid from adhering to the container:
1. Store the shilajit on a flat surface. Before opening for the first time, allow the contents to settle;
2. After 24 hours, remove the lid carefully. Boil water, and carefully pour into lid without overflowing;
3. Wait until water in lid cools (five minute or so) and use the dosage spoon to stir the contents of the lid. When safe, drink the slurry from the lid, as this is about a full dose;
4. Dry the inside of the lid and replace on container.
Always store the resin on a flat surface, and wipe any residue in order to prevent a very sticky buildup.
Zane Christopher –
Excellent advice Poryan! Thank you for that.

By itself, shilijit didn’t seem to do that much for me. However, when I took it in combination with the pine pollen (powder and tincture), it really seemed to kick in! After less than two months of using these products, my eyesight has improved noticeably, my libido is way up, my recovery time is down to how I was in my early twenties (56 now), plus I’ve lost what little excess fat I’ve had and added another ten pounds of muscle. The list goes on and on. A little dab will really do you on this product.

Started giving shilajit a try several weeks ago, swallow drop of resin most days. I can’t be sure that shilajit is the only cause of improvements in health (because I’ve done a few other little things that might have contributed) but I am sure at age 70 that I am more flexible, stronger, and have more endurance on the tennis court than in the past 5-10 years. Having feared last year that knee pain and a general feeling of lassitude were inevitable for the rest of my life, I am happy that I’m feeling damn good almost all the time. Energy, buoyancy of spirit, inhaling and exhaling, clear thinking, good moods have all increased measurably. Problem of stuck lid is always easily solved with little bit of hot running water and cap snaffler for good grip even with minor arthritic weakness.
Zane Christopher –
Thanks Mark! I am gonna show my Dad this as he has had the same problem for a while now. Even the same name, haha!

This is by far the most potent Shilajit I’ve taken. More potent than the powder from Lost Empire and more potent than another major brand that purifies and tracks their Shilajit. Although the powder helps me digest food better and have regular bowel movements (2x daily), I guess due to the higher quantity in the powder.
The Shilajit resin here is more liquidy than the other brand which becomes almost like glass over time. It also goes straight to your head to rescue you out of any brain fog that happens from leaky gut. It helps me concentrate on a higher plane, and I’ve noticed when I work out or sprint I have this extra reserve of power where I don’t get out of breath or tired. Strange, it makes me feel as if I’ve taken a ton of creatine, eaten 100% clean organic anabolic diet, and got 9 hours of sleep for a whole week straight.
For those suffering from PFS (post-finasteride syndrome), I can say as a personal fact that this stuff is 100% safe. I’ve been taking it on and off all year round, skipping taking it some random days, etc. Some guys were afraid to take it because a study showed it prevents tumorous prostates of rats from enlarging too much due to testosterone injections, well it’s definitely not from blocking DHT!
Zane Christopher –
Thanks Kit! We are working on a larger Resin size as a bigger container seems to keep the stuff even better and helps with the annoying lid getting stuck problem people are having. And I totally agree with you about the quality, even though I haven’t tried another brands shilajit in a long while. Just took a tincture bottle with resin mixed in water (sat for a few days first) on a 6 1/2 hour hike up a mountain and had very minor soreness the following days. This has been my experience when dosing while hiking mountains.

I bought the resin in Jan 2016. I have had elbow pain for over a decade. It’s not bad but it still was uncomfortable. I bowl in league one night a week and had purchased one of those Brett Farve Copperfit elbow supports. It cut off my circulation so I was taking it on and off frequently. Three weeks after I started taking the resin my elbow no longer hurt and I stopped using the sleeve.
I ran out of resin and Lost Empire Herbs were out of stock also. It’s been a month since I had any resin and my elbow is still fine.
Great Stuff!

After taking shilajit for a few months, I was somewhat ambivalent as I had not seen any spectacular effects (granted, I take several herbs and/or supplements, so it can be hard to isolate particular herbs). That said, I had not been taking it for awhile when I managed to come down with a vicious cold. Taking it (the resin) again in the morning has significantly helped mitigate the symptoms and seems to be helping me get over it faster than family and friends that got sick around the same time. Shilajit is definitely going back in the regular mix.
Otiv –
The shilajit resin is significantly stronger than the powder! I love how it gets rid of the cognitive fog that I have in the morning! The only reason that I’m giving four stars instead if five is the taste. Honestly, just bone up and fight through it because the benefits are amazing!!!!!

I tried the Shilajit powder first, and the taste was so bad I couldn’t use it. Shilajit Resin is actually tasty compared to the powder. I take it by scoping a small amount on the end of a spoon and mix it with some honey (in my mouth) and just let it melt for a minute or so.
What it does for me: I’m taking martial arts classes with my two teenaged sons, that includes Judo and Hapkido, which means getting slammed to the mat alot. Anyway I was timid about getting slammed too much, it was shaking me up. Once I started taking the Shilajit Resin a few weeks ago, I seem much “braver” now; I also think I’m more full of energy, and most of all I can take a Judo throw and jump right back up again no problem. I just ordered another jar since I got an email warning about running out soon, and may not be in stock again until next year.

I have taken the powder and I prefer resin over powder10-1! Not cutting the powder, but I like taking the resin better, concentrated more potent and easier to take. I am a 63 year old male taking pine pollen, tong Kat ali, and shilagit. The fountain of youth. I fee like I’m 30 again!. More energy in more ways than one. I tried the tong Kat ali from another retailer and it was a waste of time and money. Lost Empire Herbs is by far the best!
Don Frey –
It has a bit of road tar flavor but not over baring, I let it melt on my tongue and wash it down a minute later. The raise in sex drive was more then I expected, I believe this one will be a bit slower build up to max dosage. May use it like they suggest here and mix it with raw honey.

I have taken shilijit for years and I didn’t like the resin at all.it just didn’t have the same taste at all snd had more rocks in it than anything else
