Cautionary Advisory: Selecting Safe Shilajit

Beware of raw, unprocessed Shilajit available in the market, as it may contain hazardous contaminants. Ascertain that your Shilajit has been refined using proper filtration methods to remove impurities. Choose Shilajit that adheres to FDA/WHO and other regulatory bodies' safety standards. Demand authenticated heavy metal testing reports to ensure the Shilajit's safety for consumption.

Purity is paramount when it comes to Shilajit; its healing qualities are maximized when rigorously filtered, achieving a viscosity akin to honey in its purest form. Furthermore, sun-drying enhances this purity, resulting in a substance of high potency. However, it's important to note that color and aroma can vary by region—with Himalayan Shilajit typically exhibiting a darker golden hue compared to its Siberian counterpart—yet the key indicator of quality is viscosity, which reveals the extent of filtration.

Standard for Heavy Metals

At Properdex, we prioritize your health and well-being. It's essential to understand the safety standards that keep your supplements, like our Shilajit, safe for consumption. The first image you'll see on our website presents the standard values for heavy metals, as recommended by leading global health authorities: the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), the U.S. Food and Drug

Administration (FDA), and the World Health Organization (WHO). These organizations have established maximum limits for heavy metals in food products to protect public health. The limits are measured in parts per million (ppm), indicating the utmost concentration deemed safe. The standards are

  • Lead: 3 ppm - Maximum limit
  • Cadmium: 0.3 ppm - Maximum limit
  • Arsenic: 10 ppm - Maximum limit
  • Mercury: 1 ppm - Maximum limit

These values are calculcated in parts per million (ppm) units and denote maximum permissible limits for lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury. These limits are set to safeguard public health by mitigating the toxic effects that these elements. Adhering to these standards is essential for ensuring the safety of products like Shilajit, as they help prevent the exposure to harmful substances.
