As Shilajit gains popularity for its powerful health benefits, it’s also become a target for imitation. Many products claim to be the real deal, but in truth, real Shilajit vs fake Shilajit is a serious concern.

Whether you're looking for energy, strength, or general wellness, knowing what sets  pure Shilajit apart is key. Here’s how to spot the difference and make sure you're getting only the best.

1. Fulvic acid is the real marker.

What powers Shilajit’s benefits? Fulvic acid. This natural compound enhances nutrient absorption, supports mitochondrial energy, and fuels the body’s vitality.

What to check:

• Pure Shilajit should contain at least 50%+ Fulvic Acid.
  

• BetterAlt’s Himalayan Shilajit is clinically proven to contain over 75%, ensuring maximum potency and bioavailability.
  
  

When comparing real Shilajit vs fake Shilajit, this is the first benchmark that matters.

2. Always ask for lab testing.

Low-quality or fake Shilajit can contain dangerous heavy metals, contaminants, or microbes, all of which can harm your health over time.

 BetterAlt’s pure Shilajit is:

• 3rd party lab-tested for purity
  

• Free from lead, arsenic, mercury, and cadmium
  

• Cleared of E. coli, salmonella, mould, staphylococcus aureus, and yeast
  
  

At BetterAlt, we believe transparency is non-negotiable, that’s why every product comes with openly shared third-party lab results you can trust.

3. Look. Feel. Smell.

The physical form of Shilajit can say a lot about its authenticity.

Real Shilajit:

• Dark black-brown, sticky, resin-like
  

• Melts when warm, hardens when cold
  

• Tastes earthy and slightly bitter
  
  

Fake Shilajit:

• Powdery, too shiny, or oddly coloured (grey, red or orange)
  

• Rock-hard or overly soft
  
  

4. Try the water test.

Want to test authenticity at home?

Do the warm water test:

• Drop a small amount of Shilajit into warm water.
  

• Real Shilajit will dissolve completely, turning the water golden-brown with no residue.
  

• Fake versions will clump, float, or leave grit behind.
  
  

It’s an easy way to judge real Shilajit vs fake Shilajit without any guesswork.
