Naturally Occurring Compounds in Shilajit
Naturally Occurring Compounds in Shilajit
Shilajit is a complex natural resin formed over long periods from plant material and microbial activity. The components below are described as naturally occurring constituents (not added blends). Where available, values are based on independent lab analysis; natural variation between batches can occur.
Dibenzo Alpha Pyrones (DBPs)
Small aromatic compounds naturally present in Shilajit. They arise from the slow transformation of plant material combined with microbial activity. Mentioned descriptively — no isolated or added forms are used.
Humic Acid
Part of the humic substance family, derived from ancient plant matter. Independent lab analysis (Eurofins): 4.26 g per 100 g (~4%).
Fulvic Acid
The water-soluble fraction of humic substances. Independent lab analysis (Eurofins): 33.79 g per 100 g (~34%). Levels can vary naturally between batches.
Minerals (Trace)
Naturally occurring trace minerals (e.g., iron, magnesium, zinc). No added fortification — amounts are typically low and depend on the raw material and batch.
Vitamins (Trace)
May naturally contain trace amounts of certain vitamins (often cited in the B-complex family). Not present in nutritionally significant quantities.
Amino Acids (Trace)
Naturally occurring traces within Shilajit’s raw matrix. Not intended or marketed as a protein source.
Plant-Derived Compounds
Constituents originating from decomposed plant material that contribute to Shilajit’s natural profile. Described for composition transparency.
Antioxidant Constituents
Naturally occurring antioxidant-type constituents inherent to the raw material. Mentioned descriptively — not a medical or disease-related claim.
Polyphenols
Plant-derived phenolic compounds that may naturally occur in Shilajit due to its botanical origin. Mentioned for composition context.
