About shilajit
Shilajit is a dense, tar-like substance that seeps from cracks in mountain rocks, most famously across the Himalayas. It forms slowly over centuries as plant and microbial matter compresses inside the rock, and it carries a complex profile of minerals along with fulvic and humic acids.
It's been used in Ayurveda, the traditional medicine system of the Indian subcontinent, for centuries as a Rasayana, a category of tonics associated with rejuvenation and vitality. That heritage is part of why it's still studied today.
Our shilajit is purified to remove naturally occurring impurities and standardized to 50% fulvic acid, the antioxidant compound that carries one of the two Health Canada-licensed claims for this product.

What it's for
The Health Canada-licensed uses for Kasha Nutrition Pure Himalayan Shilajit read:
- Provides/source of fulvic acid, an antioxidant.
- Helps support normal free and total testosterone levels in men between 45-55 years.
In plain language: the formula carries two licensed uses. The testosterone-related claim is specifically licensed for men aged 45 to 55. The fulvic acid antioxidant claim is not sex-specific and applies to any adult taking the product.
How to take it
- Take 1 capsule daily, with or without food.
What to expect
Shilajit is not the kind of supplement that produces a dramatic immediate sensation when you take it. Follow the recommended dosage on the label. Timing varies from one person to the next, and your healthcare provider can help you decide what's best for your situation.
Before you start
These cautionary notes come with the Health Canada licence.
Consult a healthcare practitioner prior to use if you:
- Have benign prostate hypertrophy or prostate cancer
- Have diabetes or are taking medication to regulate blood sugar levels
Consult a healthcare practitioner if symptoms persist or worsen.
Do not use if you have kidney disorders, gout, gouty arthritis, or are susceptible to kidney stone formation.
Based on Ayurveda, do not use with hot natured foods.
In the Ayurvedic framework, "hot natured" describes foods classified as heating in their effect on the body. Common examples include chili peppers, garlic, raw onions, mustard, ginger, alcohol, and certain meats. The contraindication reflects a traditional pairing principle carried forward from the system shilajit comes from, and is preserved on the licence as written.
The adverse reaction language, as printed on the label:
If hypersensitivity/allergy occur, discontinue use.
Common questions
Can both men and women take it? +
Yes. The fulvic acid antioxidant claim is licensed for any adult. The testosterone-related claim is specifically licensed for men aged 45 to 55, based on the evidence reviewed by Health Canada when the product was approved. The fulvic acid antioxidant claim applies to adult users regardless of sex.
Can I take it with my medications? +
We always recommend talking with your healthcare provider before combining any supplement with prescription medication. They know your full picture and can help you decide what fits.
Can I take it alongside other supplements? +
We always recommend talking to your healthcare provider before combining any supplements. Every body is different, and your provider knows your personal health history best. If they give you the green light, we suggest introducing one supplement at a time and seeing how your body responds before adding the next.
Is shilajit tested for heavy metals? +
Yes. Shilajit is a mineral-rich substance from rock crevices, so heavy-metal testing is a category-wide concern and a priority for us. Every batch is third-party tested for heavy metals in addition to standard microbiology and potency testing.
What's the difference between this and the 250 mg version? +
Same active, same 50% fulvic acid standardization, same source. The 500 mg version is one capsule a day. The 250 mg version is one capsule twice a day. The total daily intake is the same. The choice comes down to whether you'd rather take one capsule or two.
Can I take more than 1 capsule a day? +
The Health Canada-licensed dose is 1 capsule daily. If you're considering more, talk with your healthcare provider first.
Can I take it during pregnancy or breastfeeding? +
Please check with your healthcare provider first. Shilajit is generally avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Do you offer other bottle sizes or subscriptions? +
Our current sizes are 60 capsules and 120 capsules. We're always working on expanding our catalogue with new sizes and product lines, so keep an eye out. In the meantime, you can find us on Amazon at our Amazon storefront, where we run ongoing promotions, offer Subscribe & Save, and bulk-purchase discounts at checkout.
What if it's not for me? +
We have a first-order satisfaction policy. If your first bottle of Kasha Nutrition Pure Himalayan Shilajit isn't a fit, reach out to us with your order ID and we'll take care of you. We'd rather you get something that works than hold a bottle you don't want.
My bottle just arrived. Anything I should know? +
Check that the seal under the cap is intact, then store it in a cool, dry spot away from direct sunlight. The lot number is on the bottle (bottom, or top just below the rim) if you ever want batch-specific test results.
Third-party testing
Every batch is independently third-party tested. A sample report is available here.
Want results for your specific bottle? Find the lot number on the bottle (bottom, or top just below the rim), and email it to info@kashanutrition.com with your order ID. We'll send the test results for your batch.
