Shilajit is a sticky, tar-like mineral resin that seeps from cracks in Himalayan rock formations at high altitude. It forms over millions of years from the decomposition of plant matter under extreme geological pressure. In Ayurvedic medicine it is classified as a rasayana — a rejuvenating tonic traditionally used to support stamina, vitality, and overall wellbeing. Nutrametix Shilajit is purified, standardized to 50% Fulvic Acid, and encapsulated for convenient daily use.

NPN stands for Natural Product Number — a licence issued by Health Canada / Santé Canada that confirms a natural health product is safe, effective, and of high quality for its intended use. NPN 80137864 authorizes Nutrametix to make specific claims about testosterone support, antioxidant properties, and Ayurvedic rasayana use. Only licensed products may display these claims. This sets us apart from the many unregulated imports sold online.

Under NPN 80137864, Nutrametix is authorized to state that Shilajit: (1) helps support normal free and total testosterone levels in men 45–55 years; (2) provides antioxidants for the maintenance of good health; (3) is traditionally used in Ayurveda as a rasayana to support stamina and vitality. All other claims are outside the scope of this NPN and are not made on our website or packaging.

Most Shilajit products on the market use 200–250mg capsules. Nutrametix uses 500mg — double the standard dose — standardized to 50% Fulvic Acid. This matches the dosage used in published research and falls within the Health Canada authorized range. We believe in giving you the clinically relevant dose, not a marketing dose.

Yes — our capsule shell is hypromellose (HPMC), a plant-derived vegan alternative to gelatin. The non-medicinal ingredients are magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose — both common excipients with no known allergens. Nutrametix Shilajit is free from gluten, dairy, soy, nuts, and artificial colours or flavours.

We recommend consulting a healthcare practitioner before combining Shilajit with prescription medications, particularly those that affect hormone levels or kidney function. Do not use if you have kidney disorders, gout, or are susceptible to kidney stone formation. If you have benign prostate hypertrophy, prostate cancer, or diabetes, consult a healthcare practitioner prior to use.

Ayurvedic tradition recommends rasayana herbs be used consistently for 8–12 weeks to experience the full benefit. Individual results vary based on age, diet, lifestyle, and baseline health. Most customers who leave reviews report noticeable changes in energy and wellbeing within 4–6 weeks of daily use. We recommend committing to at least one full bottle (30-day supply) before evaluating results.

Shilajit is generally well tolerated at the authorized dose. As required by Health Canada, our label includes the following cautions: consult a healthcare practitioner if symptoms persist or worsen; do not use if you have kidney disorders, gout, or are susceptible to kidney stone formation; consult a healthcare practitioner prior to use if you have BPH, prostate cancer, or diabetes; do not use with hot-natured foods (Ayurvedic guidance); discontinue use if hypersensitivity occurs. Keep out of reach of children.

Yes. Every batch is independently tested for lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), and mercury (Hg) by a third-party laboratory before release. Raw Shilajit can accumulate heavy metals from its environment — which is precisely why purification and independent testing are non-negotiable for us. Certificates of Analysis are available on request by emailing us at the address on our contact page.

Our NPN authorization is specifically for the testosterone support claim in men aged 45–55. The antioxidant and rasayana claims are not gender-restricted. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to conceive, consult your healthcare practitioner before use. We recommend all customers make decisions about supplementation in consultation with a qualified health professional.
