How to Spot Real vs. Fake Shilajit Resin: A Quick Guide

What's up, Shilajit lovers? 👋 Let’s talk about something super important today: how to make sure the Shilajit resin you’re getting is the real deal. With all the hype around Shilajit and its amazing benefits, there are a lot of fake products out there, so knowing how to tell the difference can save you time, money, and ensure you’re getting the best for your health. 💪
Here are a few simple tests you can try at home to see if your Shilajit resin is authentic:
1️⃣ Solubility Test
👉 Real Shilajit: Dissolves completely in warm water, tea, or milk, leaving no residue. It should form a smooth, dark liquid. 🌿
👉 Fake Shilajit: Might not dissolve fully and could leave a gritty, sandy residue at the bottom. If you see chunks, it’s a red flag! 🚩
2️⃣ The Smell Test
👉 Real Shilajit: Has a strong earthy, smoky smell that reminds you of nature. 🌱
👉 Fake Shilajit: Could smell like chemicals, be completely odorless, or just feel "off." Trust your nose! 👃
3️⃣ Taste Test
👉 Real Shilajit: Expect a bitter, tar-like taste that’s strong but natural. 🌑
👉 Fake Shilajit: If it tastes sweet, neutral, or chemically altered, it’s likely fake. Also, if the bitterness is overwhelming, it might not be prepared correctly. ⚠️
4️⃣ Purity Test (Flame Test)
👉 Real Shilajit: When heated over a flame, it will soften and melt but won’t catch fire or produce smoke. 🕯️
👉 Fake Shilajit: May burn or release a chemical smell, indicating unwanted additives or impurities. 🔥
