( the label is the product )
Every strong supplement starts with one precise number. PowerNutrient prints 500 mg of purified Himalayan shilajit per two-gummy serving, standardized to 20% fulvic acid, with ashwagandha, panax ginseng, zinc and B12, and every amount on the label. No proprietary blend. No equivalence arithmetic on the headline ingredient. The dose the research used, in a berry gummy that tastes nothing like tar.
( read the label, not the front )
| What to check | PowerNutrient | Typical gummy |
|---|---|---|
| Shilajit per serving | 500 mg of purified extract | 100 to 400 mg, or an equivalent |
| How the number is stated | Actual amount in the gummy | "6,000 mg" from a 20:1 ratio |
| Fulvic acid | 20%, standardized | Not stated, or an unexplained 50 to 75% |
| Calories per serving | 20 | Up to 200 |
| Every amount disclosed | Yes, five ingredients, five numbers | Proprietary blend is common |
Defining the core of
an honest label
( redefining how a supplement talks to you )
Tools, tables, and straight answers about shilajit, with the sources attached.
Other labels can print the raw-material equivalent instead of the contents. Pick how that brand counts, then slide to the number on their front.
Same as ours. 500 mg of actual extract, stated plainly. Rare, and worth buying from whoever does it.
Equivalents are a legal labeling convention, not a lie. Our shilajit is 500 mg of actual extract. Two of our secondary ingredients, ashwagandha and ginseng, do use 10:1 equivalents, and our panel prints the derivation.
Same purified shilajit, three ways of measuring it. Watch the number a label can print.
About 20%. A gravimetric method that isolates fulvic acid. The number we print, and the range authentic purified shilajit lands in.
Illustrative ranges from published method comparisons. A percentage without a method is a number without a meaning.
Standardized to 20% fulvic acid. The dose the eight-week trial used.
10:1 equivalent from 20 mg of extract. Studied for stress.
10:1 equivalent from 10 mg of extract.
91% of the Daily Value.*
Methylcobalamin, 100% DV.*
No study reports an early effect. Keep taking two a day.
The eight-week placebo-controlled trial at 500 mg found better strength retention under fatigue.*
No trial runs much past three months. We say so rather than guess.

8 minShilajit at 500 mg a day has modest support from small human trials, mainly for holding strength under fatigue over eight weeks. No trial has tested a gummy, and most gummies contain far less than 500 mg. Whether one works comes down to dose and purity.*
At studied doses, purified shilajit produced no safety signal in trials up to 90 days. The risk is contamination of poorly purified product. Pregnant, breastfeeding, under 18, or on medication: talk to a doctor first. Every reported side effect, with sources.
Because 500 mg is what is in the serving, and it is the dose the best trial used. A 4,000 mg label is usually 400 mg of a 10:1 extract, stated as a raw-material equivalent.
One fifth of the extract's weight is fulvic acid, about 100 mg per serving. Authentic purified shilajit lands near 15 to 20%; labels that claim 70 or 80% are usually counting organic matter that is not fulvic acid. Eight brand labels compared.
Two gummies with your morning coffee, every day. Give it eight weeks before judging.
