What is Nutricost Shilajit and what is it used for?
Nutricost Shilajit is a fulvic acid supplement used to support natural energy, stamina and everyday vitality in adults. Each serving provides 1,000mg of shilajit extract standardised to 20% fulvic acid, sourced from a traditional Ayurvedic mineral resin. It is taken daily as nutritional support for active men and women.
What sets this formula apart from basic shilajit products is its standardisation and verification. Rather than an unmeasured resin of uncertain origin, Nutricost uses a concentrated 20:1 extract (Asphaltum) with a standardised 20% fulvic acid content, the compound most associated with shilajit’s reputation for nutrient transport and antioxidant activity. This consistency matters, because the strength and purity of raw shilajit vary widely between sources.
Nutricost is a United States supplement brand known for straightforward, high-value formulas. Every batch is produced in an NSF-certified, GMP-compliant facility and independently tested by third-party, ISO-accredited laboratories — a level of quality assurance that gives international buyers confidence in what is inside each capsule. You can explore more energy and vitality options on our wider range at Recs-Medix.
What kind of supplement is shilajit?
Shilajit is a mineral-rich resin that seeps from rock layers in high mountain ranges, formed over centuries from the slow decomposition of plant matter. As a supplement it sits in the herbal and Ayurvedic wellness category, valued mainly for its fulvic and humic acids, trace minerals and plant-derived compounds.
The active material in this product is Shilajit Extract (Asphaltum), prepared as a concentrated 20:1 extract standardised to 20% fulvic acid. It is a naturally sourced, plant-and-mineral-derived ingredient rather than a synthetic compound, and Nutricost’s capsules are vegan, non-GMO and gluten-free. Alongside the extract, each serving carries small amounts of naturally occurring calcium.
This is a dietary supplement, not a medicine. It is intended to support general health and wellbeing, not to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
How does shilajit support energy and vitality?
Shilajit is thought to support energy at the cellular level. Its fulvic acid is a small molecule that helps carry minerals and nutrients into cells, where it may support the mitochondria — the structures that produce the body’s usable energy. This is why shilajit is associated with steady stamina rather than a short-lived stimulant effect.
Beyond energy, fulvic acid acts as an antioxidant, helping the body manage everyday oxidative stress. As an adaptogen, shilajit is also traditionally used to help the body cope with physical and mental stress. The trace minerals it carries — including magnesium and iron-associated compounds — contribute to the nutritional support the resin has been prized for in Ayurvedic practice for centuries.

What are the key ingredients in Nutricost Shilajit?
The single active ingredient is a concentrated shilajit extract, supported by a small amount of naturally present calcium and a short list of clean, vegan capsule components. Each part is explained below.
Shilajit Extract (Asphaltum), 20:1, 20% Fulvic Acid — 1,000mg
Shilajit (Asphaltum) is the mineral resin at the heart of this formula. The 20:1 marking means it is a concentrated extract, and the 20% fulvic acid standardisation provides a meaningful, consistent dose of the compound most linked to shilajit’s reported benefits. Fulvic acid supports nutrient transport into cells and acts as an antioxidant, while the resin’s broader mineral profile underpins its traditional use for energy and vitality.
Calcium — 30mg
A small amount of calcium occurs naturally within the formula. Calcium contributes to the maintenance of normal bones, and here it simply reflects the mineral content of the shilajit material rather than being a primary feature of the product.
Other (non-active) ingredients
The capsule and fillers are kept minimal: hypromellose (a plant-based cellulose capsule, making the product vegan), di-calcium phosphate, magnesium stearate from a vegetable source, olive oil and silica. There are no animal-derived ingredients and the product is non-GMO and gluten-free.

How do you take Nutricost Shilajit?
As a dietary supplement, take 2 capsules daily with 8–12 oz (240–350ml) of water, or as directed by your healthcare professional. The two capsules make up one full 1,000mg serving, so a single bottle of 120 capsules provides a 60-day supply when taken as recommended.
Many people prefer to take shilajit in the morning to support energy through the day, though it can be taken at a time that suits your routine. Take it consistently and do not exceed the recommended dose unless advised by a qualified professional.
How can you get the best results from shilajit?
Shilajit works best as part of a consistent daily routine rather than as an occasional top-up. Most people allow a minimum of 30 to 90 days of regular use to gauge how it supports their energy and wellbeing, since its effects build gradually alongside healthy habits.
Pair it with good sleep, regular hydration, a balanced diet and movement for the most noticeable support. It also pairs naturally with other vitality and adaptogen supplements; you might consider Goli Ashwagandha Gummies for additional stress support or Double Ginseng Capsules for energy.
Results vary between individuals. Supplements are intended to support a healthy diet and lifestyle, not to replace them.
Who should use Nutricost Shilajit?
Nutricost Shilajit suits adults seeking natural, mineral-rich support for energy, stamina and daily vitality. Because shilajit is valued for both men’s and women’s wellness, it is a versatile option for a wide range of routines.
