NutroTonic (855-948-0008) has released a new guide on how to test the authenticity of shilajit products using easy methods that can be performed at home.

Charlotte, United States, January 8, 2025 -- In light of the recent influx of low-quality or fake shilajit products on the market, NutroTonic has released its latest guide to help customers verify the purity and authenticity of any products they purchase. The guide explores simple but effective methods that can be performed at home to test for contaminants and indicators of a counterfeit product.

As NutroTonic explains, shilajit is a tar-like substance that forms from the decomposition of plant material in mountainous regions around the world, and the most high-quality samples are typically found in the Himalayas. Shilajit has seen use for hundreds of years in traditional Ayurvedic medicine, where it was believed to improve longevity and slow aging. In the modern era, researchers have discovered that the substance is rich in fulvic acid, essential minerals, and antioxidants, prompting growing public interest in its potential uses as a natural health remedy.

However, this has also led to counterfeits being developed and advertised as authentic, high-quality shilajit, in spite of their dangers. According to NutroTonic’s guide, many lower-quality or fake products are contaminated with heavy metals like lead or arsenic, corn syrup, and other artificial fillers, which can result in health complications over the long term.

To ensure they have purchased high-quality shilajit, NutroTonic’s guide lists several simple DIY tests that customers can perform to confirm authenticity and purity. The first is a water solubility test; pure shilajit will dissolve almost entirely, while lower-quality products will sediment. Consumers can also test their product’s reactivity to temperature by placing a small amount of shilajit on a metal spoon and holding the spoon over a flame for a few seconds; if the substance softens and becomes sticky, it is authentic, but if it burns or emits smoke, it likely contains impurities.

NutroTonic’s guide says that an alcohol solubility test is also effective for confirming product quality; pure shilajit will clump when submerged in alcohol, but fake shilajit may dissolve. Finally, consumers will be able to tell real products from fake ones through smell and taste, as genuine shilajit is slightly bitter and has a distinct earthy fragrance; any other taste or smell is a likely indicator of additives.
