What is Shilajit Powder?
Shilajit powder is a supplement made from a sticky resin harvested primarily from rocks found in the Himalayas in India. Shilajit resin takes centuries to form as it is composed of plants and microorganisms. Once harvested it is cleaned, dried, then ground down to a powder.
Health Benefits
The active ingredient in shilajit is fulvic acid, which is the source of all its health benefits. Shilajit also contains 84 different minerals, including iron, calcium, magnesium, and zinc, which are essential for various bodily functions. Here are a few of its benefits:
How to use it?
One advantage of using shilajit powder instead of capsules or resin is that you can choose your dosage and mix it with various foods and drinks to hide its flavor. Shilajit powder does have a strong bitter taste, making it hard to consume alone. Here are a few ideas on how to use it.
Coffee
Coffee has high caffeine content, and when combined with shilajit's natural energizing Qualities, it can be beneficial for clearing your mind and increasing your focus at the beginning of your day. Long after you would have crashed from caffiene alone.
Our Shilajit Powder comes with a measuring spoon. Simply add 1 scoop of shilajit powder for each cup you plan to brew in your coffee filter along with the ground coffee. Then, enjoy your supercharged brewed coffee.
Warm Water
Warm water is another way of taking shilajit as it does saturate the taste a little while the warm water just like coffee enhances its potency as the heat extracts the active ingredients.
Smoothie
Making a smoothie with shilajit is a great way to incorporate health benefits with a delicious flavor. Shilajit has such a distinct flavor you want to mix it with strong flavors like berries and bananas to mask it. Here is an example of one recipe we use:
- 1/4 teaspoon Shilajit powder
- 1 ripe banana (for creaminess and natural sweetness)
- 1/2 cup frozen berries (such as blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries)
- 1/2 cup spinach or kale (optional for an extra boost of nutrients)
- 1 tablespoon nut butter (such as almond or peanut butter)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (for added fiber and omega-3 fatty acids)
- 1 cup almond milk, coconut milk, or any milk of your choice
- 1/2 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
- Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker smoothie)
Just blend all the ingredients and enjoy!
Herbal Tea
Herbal tea is a great way to extract shilajit, making it more potent due to the heat and allowing you to benefit from the flavor of the tea. Commonly the shilajit tea is mixed with honey and lemon to add a little flavor and mask shilajit bitterness.

Shilajit powder can easily be mixed with any kind of food including Baked goods, Soups, Salad dressing, and homemade granola bars to name a few. Cooking with shilajit is probably the best way if you are trying to conceal its distinct taste.
