Overview of Shilajit Testing

Tested by: NABL-accredited partner lab
Regulation: Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia & FSSAI
Typical turnaround: 7–10 working days
Sample needed: 50–100 g

Shilajit is a mineral-rich resin collected from rocks in the Himalayas and other mountain ranges. Raw shilajit must be purified (shodhana) before use, because it can carry heavy metals, soil and microbes. The Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia sets quality parameters for purified shilajit, and it is also sold as a food supplement under FSSAI.

Its popularity has brought adulteration with tar, bitumen and other resins, and inflated claims of fulvic acid content. Brands and exporters test for fulvic acid and other markers, heavy metals, which are the most common reason for rejection abroad, and microbial limits.

Frequently asked questions

Does shilajit need an AYUSH or FSSAI licence?

It depends on how it is sold. As an Ayurvedic medicine it needs an AYUSH manufacturing licence; as a health supplement it needs an FSSAI licence and must follow the nutraceutical rules. We help confirm the route before testing.

Will regulators and buyers accept the report?

Testing is done in NABL-accredited labs, and where a licence requires it, in labs approved under the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules. We confirm the requirement for your licence, tender or buyer before testing.

Who carries out the testing?

Instacertify’s partner laboratories, accredited by NABL to ISO/IEC 17025 for the parameters on your report. We choose the lab, arrange the sample, follow up until the report is issued and explain the results to you.
