FAQs

Trying Shilajit for the first time can be a unique experience — slightly bitter, smoky, and tinged with an earthy flavour. It’s a bold, unfamiliar taste unlike anything most people have had before.

Shilajit’s primary component is Fulvic Acid, along with 84–86 trace minerals. It’s widely used as a natural energiser to support stamina, endurance, and overall vitality.

An effective dose is 150–200mg — about the size of a small pea — taken daily. This should be followed for a maximum of 2 months, then paused for 1 month to allow your body to reset.

The first creatures observed consuming Shilajit weren’t humans — monkeys in India, yaks in Afghanistan, and even snow leopards have been seen licking Shilajit-rich rocks in winter for nutrition. In places like Nepal, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, people have consumed pure Shilajit with warm milk for generations. It’s known for supporting strength and stamina — from Nepalese Sherpas to Afghan and Russian soldiers. ZenFuel Shilajit is recommended for adults looking to naturally boost their energy and resilience.

Shilajit is a natural exudate secreted from mineral-rich rocks, primarily in the Himalayan mountain range. It ranges from pale brown to blackish brown and is composed of ancient decomposed plant matter and rock humus.

For best results, take ZenFuel Shilajit on an empty stomach in the morning. It may cause a noticeable energy boost, so avoid taking it in the evening if you’re sensitive to stimulation or have trouble sleeping.

Effects can vary. Some people notice benefits the next day, while for others it may take 6–10 days as the body absorbs the fulvic acid and begins detoxifying.

Because of its energy-boosting and vitality-enhancing properties, Shilajit has been used traditionally for sexual health and performance. If you're considering it for this purpose, we recommend doing your own research or speaking with a healthcare professional.

No. Shilajit powder is often adulterated and cannot be made without mixing it with other herbs or fillers. ZenFuel recommends resin form only — it’s the most potent and purest way to experience the full benefits of Shilajit.

ZenFuel Shilajit resin will melt in your hands, become sticky, and dissolve in warm water or milk with a coffee-like appearance. It won’t catch fire but will bubble and absorb heat quickly. Powdered versions typically lack purity and should be avoided.

Generally, yes. However, Shilajit is high in iron and should be avoided by people with hemochromatosis. It may also interact with blood pressure medication and conditions like gouty arthritis. Individuals with heart disease or hypotension should consult their doctor before using it.

We don’t recommend Shilajit for children, pregnant, or breastfeeding women. While it may be used traditionally in some cultures for kids, ZenFuel advises against it for safety reasons unless under expert supervision.

Healthy hair depends heavily on internal nutrition. Shilajit’s fulvic acid helps improve nutrient transport from roots to ends, while its 84+ trace minerals nourish and strengthen the hair. With consistent use, many people report thicker, stronger, and healthier hair, along with improved growth.

Yes — but with care. A daily dose of 150–200mg (resin form) is ideal for a period of 40–60 days. After that, take a break or reduce to 2x per week. Prolonged daily use without breaks may cause dependency and reduced effectiveness, as the body may stop producing certain minerals naturally.

Pure resin Shilajit like ZenFuel’s takes centuries to form and does not expire in the traditional sense. However, always follow the product label's best-before date, especially if it's been mixed or packaged.

Shilajit is also known as mineral pitch, mineral wax, or black asphaltum in English. Other names include shargai, dorobi, barahshin, baragshun (Mongolian), mummenayyee (Farsi), tasmayi (Kazakh), mumio (Russian), and Asphaltum punjabianum in Latin.
