How to Use Shilajit – and Why Temperature Matters
What Makes Shilajit So Unique
Shilajit is one of nature’s most powerful and complex substances, formed over thousands of years from decomposed plant matter high in the Himalayan mountains.
Rich in fulvic acid, humic compounds, and 85+ trace minerals, it’s been used for centuries to restore balance, strength, and vitality.
At The Elements Vault, we source our Shilajit from altitudes above 17,000 ft and purify it using a four-step natural process, ensuring every batch remains 100% pure and authentic.
Why Pure Shilajit Reacts to Temperature
If your Shilajit sometimes feels sticky or hard, don’t worry, that’s completely normal.
Pure Shilajit is a natural resin, not a processed powder or extract. Because we don’t add hardeners or synthetic stabilisers, it naturally changes consistency with temperature:
• Warm conditions: It softens and becomes sticky.
• Cool conditions: It hardens and can even become brittle.
This is one of the easiest ways to tell that your Shilajit is real and unaltered. Many lower-grade or commercial brands heat-treat their resin to make it solid, but that process destroys many of the beneficial compounds, especially fulvic acid.
How to Handle Shilajit When It’s Sticky
If your Shilajit feels too sticky to scoop, here’s a quick and easy fix:
Pop it in the freezer for 2–3 minutes.
This will harden it just enough so you can easily break off your portion without it sticking to your spoon or fingers. Once done, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, there’s no need to refrigerate it daily.
How to Take Shilajit
To get the best results, start small and stay consistent.
1. Scoop or break off a small pea-sized portion (around 200–300 mg).
2. Dissolve it in warm (not boiling) water, tea, or coffee, ideally around 60–70°C.
3. Stir until fully dissolved, then drink.
Avoid boiling water, as excessive heat can reduce the potency of fulvic acid.
Best time to take: Morning on an empty stomach or before your first meal.
Consistency is key: Daily use supports energy, recovery, focus, and overall vitality.
Purity You Can Feel
Our Shilajit is sun-dried, quadruple-purified, and tested in the UK by Eurofins for heavy metals and authenticity.
That’s why it reacts naturally to temperature, no additives, no hardeners, no shortcuts.
Just pure, potent Shilajit the way nature intended.
