Our Testing Process
How Golden Shilajit Is Tested
Golden Shilajit uses independent laboratory testing to document specific characteristics of finished product batches. Independent laboratory testing is documented on a batch-specific basis. Published testing has included Eurofins Scientific and Anresco Laboratories for heavy metals, Eurofins Scientific and TTI for fulvic acid, and Bureau Veritas for microbiological testing. Laboratory coverage and analytical scope can differ by batch. Laboratory results apply to the tested sample and batch, and should not be treated as permanent guarantees for every future batch.
Testing Starts With the Finished Batch
Manufacturing and laboratory testing are two separate stages. Purification produces the finished resin. Laboratory testing then measures selected characteristics of that finished batch.
Our water-based multi-stage purification process is documented separately. See: Our Manufacturing Philosophy. What this page covers is what happens after purification is complete — the independent laboratory analysis that documents what the finished batch actually contains.
Testing does not replace purification. Purification does not replace testing. They serve different purposes and are conducted independently of each other.
From Finished Batch to Lab Report
The steps below describe, at a high level, how a finished batch moves from production to independently documented laboratory result.
- A finished production batch is identified and assigned a batch reference number.
- A representative sample is prepared for independent laboratory testing.
- Samples are submitted to accredited independent laboratories according to the testing required.
- Laboratory results are received, reviewed, and associated with the tested batch reference.
- Batch-specific documentation is made available through the Lab Reports page.
Batch SLJT01LQ — Eurofins Scientific (Fulvic Acid & Heavy Metals)
Eurofins Scientific independently analysed the fulvic acid content and heavy metals of finished batch #SLJT01LQ. Eurofins is an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory. For a detailed explanation of how Eurofins conducts this analysis, see: how Eurofins tests Shilajit.

Batch SLJT01LQ — Bureau Veritas (Microbiological)
Microbiological testing for batch #SLJT01LQ was conducted independently by Bureau Veritas — Report No. 1086405.
<10 cfu/g indicates count was below the detection threshold — not zero. Results are batch-specific.
Batch HI-SHL-0226 — Independent Laboratory Testing
Batch HI-SHL-0226 was independently tested by three laboratories. Results are batch-specific and documented in the corresponding reports published on the Lab Reports page.
| Laboratory | Scope | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Eurofins Scientific | Fulvic acid & heavy metals (Pb, As, Cd, Hg) | Report 5374116-0, Sample 16388887 |
| Anresco Laboratories | Heavy metals ICP-MS (Pb, As, Cd, Hg) | Order 960349, Sample 1352051 |
| TTI | Fulvic acid testing | Batch HI-SHL-0226 |
What Each Laboratory Test Actually Tells You
| Test | Laboratory | What It Documents |
|---|---|---|
| Fulvic Acid | Eurofins Scientific, TTI | Reported fulvic acid result for the tested sample, expressed as g/100g |
| Heavy Metals (Pb, As, Cd, Hg) | Eurofins Scientific, Anresco Laboratories | Measured heavy metal results for the tested sample |
| Microbiological Testing | Bureau Veritas | Reported microbiological results including coliforms, E. coli, Salmonella, Bacillus cereus, and aerobic colony count |
What Laboratory Testing Does Not Prove
- Clinical effectiveness for any health condition
- That every future batch will have identical results
- Complete absence of every possible contaminant not included in the test scope
- That one product is objectively “the best” Shilajit available
- Product suitability for every individual, regardless of health status or medications
What a laboratory report does establish is a documented, third-party record of the specific parameters tested on the specific batch submitted.
Batch-Specific Transparency
A laboratory report is only meaningful when it can be tied to a specific batch. For guidance on reading a COA, see: how to read a Shilajit Certificate of Analysis.
| Detail | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Batch number | Identifies which production run was tested. Results from one batch do not automatically apply to another. |
| Report date | Confirms when testing was conducted. |
| Laboratory identity | Confirms who conducted the analysis. Independent, accredited laboratories carry more evidential weight. |
| Analytes tested | Specifies exactly what was measured. A COA only covers the parameters listed. |
| Numeric results | The actual measured values, not just a pass/fail statement. |
Documented batches: #SLJT01LQ and #HI-SHL-0226. Corresponding reports are available on the Lab Reports page. For the complete verification record covering both batches, see the Batch Verification & Laboratory Evidence hub.
Manufacturing vs Testing
Manufacturing
- Water-based multi-stage purification
- Multi-stage filtration
- Controlled concentration
- Natural sun drying
Laboratory Testing
- Fulvic acid (Eurofins, TTI)
- Heavy metals: Pb, As, Cd, Hg (Eurofins, Anresco)
- Microbiological (Bureau Veritas — SLJT01LQ)

Frequently Asked Questions
Who tests Golden Shilajit?
Golden Shilajit is independently tested by Eurofins Scientific (fulvic acid and heavy metals), Anresco Laboratories (heavy metals ICP-MS), TTI (fulvic acid), and Bureau Veritas (microbiological testing). All are independent of Golden Shilajit and have no commercial interest in the outcome.
What was the fulvic acid result for batch #SLJT01LQ?
Eurofins Scientific reported 45.39 g/100g for tested batch #SLJT01LQ (Report 4999802-0). This result is specific to that batch and is not a guaranteed minimum or fixed specification for all batches.
Which laboratories tested batch HI-SHL-0226?
Batch HI-SHL-0226 was tested by Eurofins Scientific (Report 5374116-0, fulvic acid and heavy metals), Anresco Laboratories (Order 960349, heavy metals ICP-MS), and TTI (fulvic acid). Full reports are published on the Lab Reports page.
Does every batch have exactly 45.39% fulvic acid?
No. 45.39 g/100g is the documented result for batch #SLJT01LQ only. Shilajit is a naturally formed geological material and fulvic acid concentration can vary between batches. Each batch is tested independently.
How can I see the current Golden Shilajit lab report?
Current published laboratory documentation can be viewed on the Golden Shilajit Lab Reports page. No sign-up or request form is required.
