Introduction: Why This Matters
If you've been researching Shilajit supplements, you've probably come across bold claims like "contains 60% fulvic acid" or even more. While it might sound impressive, this is often a red flag rather than a mark of quality.
At Prime Gold Shilajit, we believe in truth, transparency, and tradition. Let’s dive into the science and expose the myths behind these exaggerated fulvic acid claims.
What Is Fulvic Acid and Why Is It Important in Shilajit?
Fulvic acid is a naturally occurring compound found in Shilajit. It's known for its detoxifying, anti-inflammatory, and nutrient-transporting properties. However, in natural resin Shilajit, fulvic acid typically ranges from 15% to 40%—and that’s scientifically normal.
Why Claims of >50% Fulvic Acid Are Suspicious
🔍 1. Lab Test Manipulation
Many brands quote high fulvic acid by using non-standard testing methods or combining fulvic + humic acid together to inflate numbers. Some even add synthetic fulvic acid to boost results.
⚠️ 2. Chemical Extraction = Loss of Natural Balance
Shilajit is a complex compound—its power comes from a natural balance of minerals, dibenzo-α-pyrones (DBPs), fulvic acid, humic acid, and trace elements. Isolating or artificially increasing fulvic acid destroys this harmony.
🧪 3. Fake or Over-Processed Shilajit
Extremely high fulvic acid often means the product is not resin but a powder or extract diluted with chemicals—this is not true Shilajit.
📉 4. No Clinical Backing
There is no clinical evidence that >50% fulvic acid is more beneficial. In fact, higher isn’t always better—it can irritate the gut or disrupt nutrient absorption.
