"Low Pressure Dehydration"
Request batch-specific testing from an accredited laboratory. The illustrative figures below are not universal regulatory limits or evidence of a tested product.
| Heavy Metal | Illustrative Value (PPM) | Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Lead (Pb) | < 10.00 | Cognitive decline |
| Mercury (Hg) | < 1.00 | Neurotoxicity |
| Arsenic (As) | < 10.00 | Carcinogenicity |
| Cadmium (Cd) | < 0.30 | Renal damage |
| Thallium (Tl)* | < 0.1 mg/mL | Hair loss, toxicity |
Applicable limits depend on jurisdiction, serving size, exposure, and product classification. Thallium testing should be discussed with the laboratory; this guide does not establish a legal screening mandate.
Thallium (Tl): Contamination cannot be assessed by appearance, taste, or origin. Ask an accredited laboratory to interpret measured levels and exposure for the intended serving size.
Pure Shilajit bubbles and turns to white ash. It does not ignite or produce black smoke (petroleum sign).
Dissolves completely in warm water within 5–10 minutes without stirring. No sandy sediment or gritty residue.
Softens in hand warmth, becomes brittle in refrigerator. Fake resins maintain uniform consistency at all temperatures.
Each batch is accompanied by a matched Certificate of Analysis verifying heavy metal limits and fulvic acid content.
