The COVID-pandemic has a significant effect on most global logistic systems. Because of that, we can only ship to a limited number of non-EU countries right now.
US and Canada: although we have resumed shipping to these countries [starting Nov. 6th 2021] it's still best to place your orders with our California-based US partner - much faster shipping ! [ link ].
Bulk orders are only available on this website, though.
Australia / Asia / Ocenania - you can only place your orders with our Australian partner. [ link ]
For the time being we are only offering registered shipping with tracking, and for a few countries we also offer FedEx. So, no free shipping right now. You can see whether or not your region is included when checking out.
Transit times are unpredictable but in general longer than usual. We have no control over this, sorry.
Stay healthy !

Basic background of Shilajit - Mumijo
It can be used both internally e.g. after dissolving it in pure, non-chlorinated water (despite the traditional ayurvedic recommendations - never use milk ! Milk neutralizes the polyphenols / anti-oxidant potential !) and externally (dissolving it in body lotion or creme is seen often in Russia).
Below is a brief list of its properties*. For a very extensive background and history click here (external website - opens in new window ).
Take notice: this list should not be interpreted as a list of medical claims !
Shilajit is a complex combination of several dozens of macro- and micro elements, minerals, amino acids, vitamins, plant sterols, fulvic acid and humic acid. It has been attributed with the following properties, many of which have been the subject of research in the past decades. Check our research page for the most important articles
- Healing (e.g. skin, will enhance the blood flow, helps to minimize stretch marks and scar tissue)
- Effective against burns
- Protective, balancing and purifying
- Supports the immune system (adaptogenic properties)
- Anti-ulcer
- Aphrodisiac (traditional use in Ayurveda)
- Shortens recovery period after illness and the illness itself in many cases, improves better and faster healing of wounds
- Fractures heal faster (up to 50%)
- Against muscle ache, used to massage
- Anti-anxiety, anti-stress
- Smart drug (nootropic effect)
- Anti-aging (both mental and physical)
- Improves stamina and strength (sports e.g.)

ORIVeDA 's Shilajit - Mumijo
ORIVeDA guarantees both the authenticity and quality - our product was validated using acknowledged objective tests.
Shilajit (or 'Mumijo' as it's called in Russia) is an extremely rare natural substance, only found in some mountain ranges like the Himalaya and the Altai mountains.
Because of its rarity and its hyped reputation as a panacea (it is also one of the last remaining 'rasayana's' in Ayurveda) a lot of people see good business opportunities. This has lead to a enormous stream of bad, unreliable and even dangerous products.
This website has an overview of 30 Shilajit products (all of them resins) and also supplies background, price and an objective quality report of all products. Oriveda Shilajit is also included.
What is particularly striking is that apart from ORIVeDA nobody is using the authorised AOAC lab standard to test for the main active ingredients in Shilajit: the fulvic- and humic-acid fractions. Go to the quality control page for our objective test results. And an authenticity test - it exists, but only 2 vendors actually use it - and this includes us.
The only reasons not to test we can come up with are that the outcome is disappointing and/or ignorance of the vendor.
Let's face it, a natural substance, more rare than gold or diamonds, that takes several decades to form a layer one millimeter thick can never be available in the quantities that are currently offered online, and definitely not for low prices.
'Guaranteed levels of fulvic acid !' some sellers claim; but they don't have reliable test reports backing up their claims. Natural Shilajit - Mumijo contains at least 7 % of ashless fulvic / humic acids according to Russian research; 7% is the minimum (Russian Federal Standard). Anything below that threshold is not allowed to be sold as Shilajit - Mumijo.
ORIVeDA Shilajit contains ± 29 % fulvic acid and ± 9 % humic acids, depending on the moisture level percentages can be significantly higher. Tested in compliance with the official AOAC standards.
Processing Shilajit - Mumijo (e.g. when turning it into tablets, powder, tinctures) involves heat and adding stabilizers, additives etc, and usually involves the use of metal equipment, which means the natural composition of Mumijo • Shilajit (and the resulting synergy) is affected. Many of the amino acids will be destroyed (because of heat) and several other components will oxidize and change properties (by getting in touch with metal).
After being authenticitated ORIVeDA Shilajit - Mumijo is cleaned/purified using a tried and tested -patented- Russian method based on low temperature and centrifugal processing. This is followed by air-drying to ensure a moisture level ≤ 7 %.
This is very important, because contaminated or high-moisture products easily develop mould and uncontrolled oxidation and fermentation might occur. The resulting raw material is then checked for heavy metals and other contamination (yeast, mold, e-coli, salmonella, mites) that is not allowed in food or dietary supplements. After that a sanitary certificate is issued.
You don't have to take our word for these claims. We can show you documentation - third party Certificates of Analysis. We strongly recommend to ask for this documentation in case of niche products such as Shilajit and medicinal mushroom supplements. Also have a look at our FAQ.
