  1. Pay close attention to the source and origin, prioritizing Shilajit sourced from high-altitude regions like the Himalayas.
  2. Reputable suppliers will provide third-party lab testing results, often in the form of a Certificate of Analysis (COA), which verifies the product’s purity and fulvic acid content.
