How to Spot Fake Shilajit: A Buyer’s Guide
Keywords: fake vs real Shilajit, pure Shilajit test
With so many brands claiming to sell “pure” Shilajit, how can you be sure you’re getting the real thing? Unfortunately, most of the Shilajit sold online or in stores is either fake, overprocessed, or mixed with harmful fillers.
At Gilgit Himalayan Shilajit, we believe in educating our customers. Here’s how you can spot fake Shilajit and why our product stands apart.
🔬 3 Simple Ways to Test Real Shilajit
1. The Water Test
- Take a small amount of shilajit and add it to a glass of warm water.
- ✅ Real Shilajit will slowly dissolve completely and turn the water golden to dark brown.
- ❌ Fake Shilajit will float, clump, or leave behind sand or black particles.
2. The Flame Test
- Touch the Shilajit with a flame (lighter or matchstick).
- ✅ Real Shilajit will not catch fire. It will bubble and become soft but never burn like plastic or sugar.
- ❌ Fake Shilajit may catch fire or smell like chemicals — a clear red flag.
3. The Texture Test
- Real Shilajit is a smooth resin at room temperature.
- It becomes hard in cold and soft or sticky in warm temperatures.
- It’s slightly bitter but not sweet —temperature indicates added sugar or syrup.
⚠️ Red Flags of Fake Shilajit
- Very cheap prices
- Comes in powder form or capsules (often mixed with fillers)
- Has a strong chemical or burnt smell
- No lab test reports
- No information about the source
