Shilajit has gained a lot of attention worldwide — but with popularity comes misinformation. From wild health claims to safety concerns, many myths confuse new users.
At Gilgit Himalayan Shilajit, we’re here to clear the air. Let’s bust the top 5 myths about Shilajit and share the truth behind this ancient remedy.
❌ Myth #1: Shilajit Works Like a Steroid
Truth: Shilajit is not a steroid.
It’s a natural mineral-rich resin formed from centuries-old organic matter in high-altitude rocks. It works by restoring energy, supporting hormone balance, and improving overall wellness — without synthetic chemicals.
❌ Myth #2: All Shilajit is the Same
Truth: Not even close.
Real Shilajit varies greatly depending on where it’s sourced and how it’s purified.
- Low-quality Shilajit may be overcooked or mixed with additives like fulvic acid powder, sugar, or fillers.
- Gilgit Himalayan Shilajit is sourced directly from the Himalayan mountains of Gilgit Baltistan and purified naturally — no shortcuts.
❌ Myth #3: Shilajit is Unsafe or Has Serious Side Effects
Truth: Pure, lab-tested Shilajit is safe when used properly.
Issues only occur when people:
- Use fake or contaminated products
- Take excessive amounts
- Don’t follow dosage instructions
We always recommend starting with a small dose (100–250 mg) and ensuring the product is lab-tested and heavy metal-free.
❌ Myth #4: Shilajit Acts Immediately
Truth: Shilajit is not a quick-fix pill.
It works best when taken consistently over time — think of it like a nutrient-rich food for your body. Most people feel improvements in energy, stamina, and focus within 2–4 weeks.
❌ Myth #5: Powder or Capsules Are Better Than Resin
Truth: The most potent form of Shilajit is pure resin.
- Capsules and powders are often diluted or processed
- Resin is unrefined, natural, and contains the full spectrum of minerals
At Gilgit Himalayan Shilajit, we only offer resin in glass jars — nothing less.

Don’t let myths stop you from experiencing the true power of Shilajit. When sourced and used properly, it’s safe, natural, and incredibly effective.
