Best Himalayan Organic Shilajit Resin

I was prepared for it to taste pretty bad from what I’ve heard and it did indeed taste like a tire. But it’s not inedible, even just by itself. I plan to try the recipe for tea included inside the box. The product looks exactly as described and I like the convenient little spoon.

The jar was nicely sealed with no leakage and it comes with a little plastic topper to put between the jar and the top so it doesn’t go everywhere when you open it. The product box arrived with a piece of Scotch tape holding it closed because the clear sticker just wasn’t holding. So that was a little odd. But the product was intact and I didn’t have any concerns opening and using it.

I have not used Shilajit before, so this was my first time experiencing the product, and I don’t have anything else to compare it to. I think it would take a while of using it to describe any effects, so I’ll refrain from that in this review.

The packaging was basically as shown: a brown cardboard box with printing, but was sealed by both a clear circle sticker and also a piece of cheap cellophane tape. Inside, I found the jar, the spoon, a white plastic circle, a folded piece of white paper, and a small unsealed paper envelope, plus some kind of natural packing material at the bottom of the box. The tape and paper envelope made me concerned that this was not a new product, but this later appeared to be unfounded. The printing on the box was very small and generally difficult to read. The outer bottom of the box had no printing, so perhaps the printable surface area could be better utilized to increase customer confidence.

The small folded white paper is supposed to be a copy of third party testing, which listed attributes such as the expected color, percent content of fulvic acid, and presence of heavy metals. It’s hard to know if this document actually pertains to the batch that was actually in the box, but the effort shown was promising.

The small paper envelope was very confusing to me at first. It had no seal, just folded a couple of times. Inside were what looked like plant detritus – a seed and two small pieces of bark – both of which had no odor. However, I eventually saw that inside the box there was printed a recipe for a tea drink, and it included cardamom and cinnamon, so I guess that solved the mystery. I’d have preferred if the envelope was labeled in some way.

The jar was fully wrapped in sturdy shrink plastic. The label was on the outside of the plastic, so once the plastic was removed, so was the label. I wanted to have a labeled jar, and fortunately I was able to remove it from the plastic and stick it on the jar. The top and bottom of the jar are also labeled. Upon opening the jar, I found a foil seal, and I couldn’t see or smell anything, so it seemed likely that this was sealed very securely. I then realized the white plastic disc was meant to be used as the intermediate cap. I think this was a nice touch to include.

The foil seal had a lot of resin on it, so I did my best to scrape the resin into the jar. I saved the foil seal to use for my first and maybe second usage, leaving the spoon inside.

I tasted just the tiniest bit of the resin. It’s quite unpleasant on its own. The odor reminds me of something I cannot place – somewhat chemical/petroleum, somewhat organic. I let my cat sniff the jar and he was quite intrigued.

The dark brown resin is quite thick, thicker than molasses, but not thick enough to roll into a ball (as another reviewer stated correctly).

This is like the pills, you have to use other supplements to get the fell effect.

This stuff is awesome! Great for energy. The taste is smokey but very good. Just a little spoonful into your water bottle and your good for the day. The container has lasted a long time.

I liked that the product seems to be true to its work. From the first morning I tried it I felt an immediate sense of wakefulness. Not a jolt of energy but a sustained amount of regular energy that didn’t feel like it had an end. The smell is that if tar, displeasant but once it melts down into some warm coffee you can’t even tell. From there I fixed my coffee as normal with little to no aftertaste. I researched this specific brand of shilajit and it definitely looks legit. 10/10 would recommend if you are looking for a place to start with it.
