Description
Heard so much about the benefits of Shilajit, but with so many forms available in the market, confused about which one to buy and consume. Are you in search of the appropriate ways to consume Shilajit? If yes, then you are in the right place. This article is just for you.
This article will walk you through the differences between Shilajit Resin, Powder, and Capsules, along with the pros and cons.
Shilajit Resin
The best Shilajit resin is a smooth semi-solid paste that comes mainly in black and dark brown colors. The best method to identify shilajit resin is, when you take it in your palm, it should get sticky while becoming brittle when kept in the fridge. Shilajit resin is mainly consumed by dissolving it in warm water or hot beverage. It shows higher benefits and is considered purer as compared to other forms because of the minimal processing it undergoes with.
Pros of Shilajit Resin
- The highest concentration of fluvic acid.
- Lasts for a longer time.
- No fillers were added.
- Less refinement is required than any other solid form.
Cons of Shilajit Resin
- Contains a strong flavor.
- It takes some time to get dissolved in warm water completely.
Shilajit Powder
The powdered form of Shilajit comes in different shades of black, brown, and amber. The raw shilajit is processed at a certain level to convert it into powder form. Many people prefer taking shilajit powder as it easily gets dissolved in water or any beverage.
In the current market scenario, where everyone claims to offer authentic raw Shilajit powder, sometimes it gets very difficult to find the original Himalayan Shilajit extract powder. It is much harder to check the quality of powder without a lab test, whereas resin can easily be tested in the comfort of your home. To test if your Shilajit powder is authentic, take a very small amount of it and leave it in direct contact with the air. The authentic one will solidify within 2-3 days. Another characteristic of it is, it easily gets dissolved in water leaving no particles behind.
