Heavy Metal Tested Shilajit: What the Tests Show and Why It Matters
Share
Written by Ayesha Rahman — Lab Assistant, Golden Shilajit Official Research Team. Reviewed by the Golden Shilajit Research Team.
Golden Shilajit Official resin is independently tested for heavy metals by Eurofins Scientific — an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory. This page documents what batch #SLJT01LQ was tested for, which laboratory conducted the analysis, and how you can verify that the report applies to the product you have received. It does not replace a full review of the Certificate of Analysis, which is available on the Lab Reports page.
For background on why heavy metal testing matters, which metals occur in Shilajit, and what safe limits look like, see: Heavy Metals in Shilajit: What Every Buyer Must Know.
Current Batch Heavy Metal Test
Batch reference: #SLJT01LQ
Testing laboratory: Eurofins Scientific
Accreditation: ISO/IEC 17025
Metals tested: Lead (Pb), Arsenic (As), Cadmium (Cd), Mercury (Hg)
Testing method: ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry)
Report access: View the full Eurofins COA for batch #SLJT01LQ
The numerical results for each metal are documented in the Certificate of Analysis. The COA shows each detected level alongside the applicable reference specification, so you can assess the margin directly without relying on a summary claim from this page.
What This Report Proves
- That a physical sample from batch #SLJT01LQ was submitted to Eurofins Scientific for independent heavy metal analysis.
- That the four primary metals of concern in Shilajit — lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury — were measured using ICP-MS methodology.
- That the results are documented in a batch-specific COA issued by an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory.
- That the report is publicly accessible without a request form.
How to Verify the Batch on Your Product
To confirm that the Eurofins COA applies to the product you have received:
- Locate the batch number on your product packaging. It should be printed on the base or label of the jar.
- Open the Lab Reports page and identify the COA issued for batch #SLJT01LQ.
- Confirm that the batch reference on your packaging matches the batch reference on the COA document.
- Check that the laboratory name, accreditation number, and test date are visible on the document face.
If the batch number on your product does not match #SLJT01LQ, contact us before drawing conclusions — we will confirm which COA applies to your batch. For a detailed walkthrough of reading a COA, see: How to Read a Shilajit Certificate of Analysis.
What This Report Does Not Prove
- It does not cover every batch. The Eurofins COA for batch #SLJT01LQ applies to that batch only. Heavy metal content can vary between production batches depending on source material and purification consistency. Each batch requires its own independent test.
- It does not cover every contaminant. The heavy metals panel documents lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury. Microbiological testing for batch #SLJT01LQ was conducted separately by Bureau Veritas. The scope of each report is defined by the tests requested — not by the absence of other contaminants.
- It does not constitute regulatory approval. Independent third-party testing documents what was found in the tested sample. It is not a government certification or approval.
- It does not apply to products purchased from other sellers. If you purchased Shilajit from a marketplace listing not operated by Golden Shilajit Official, this COA does not verify that product.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which batch does the current Eurofins heavy metals COA cover?
The current COA covers batch #SLJT01LQ. This is the batch in active distribution. The batch reference is printed on product packaging. If your batch number differs, contact us to confirm which COA applies.
Where can I view the actual heavy metal results?
The full Eurofins COA — including the numerical result for each metal against its reference specification — is published on the Lab Reports page. No request or registration is required.
Does the same COA cover Shilajit Drops?
The fulvic acid result of 45.39% (Eurofins, batch #SLJT01LQ) applies to both the Resin and Drops formats as both are produced from the same batch. For batch-specific confirmation on Drops, check the Lab Reports page for the applicable document.
Is a new COA issued for each production batch?
Yes. Each finished production batch is submitted for independent testing before distribution. The COA issued by Eurofins is specific to the tested batch. A COA from a previous batch does not validate current stock.
What is ICP-MS and why does it matter for heavy metals?
ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry) is the most sensitive method available for detecting trace metals in supplements. It can measure concentrations at parts per billion — below the detection threshold of older methods. For Shilajit, where regulatory safety limits are set at very low concentrations, a high-sensitivity method is necessary to produce meaningful results.
