We score each shilajit brand out of 10 across six weighted criteria: batch lab evidence (30%), origin transparency (25%), purification disclosure (15%), value per gram (15%), availability and shipping (10%) and reputation (5%). Scores are editorial opinion based on publicly available information, and we update them when new evidence is published.
Our goal is simple: rank shilajit brands sold in Australia on what a buyer can verify. Here is exactly how.
What we score
Batch lab evidence
Is there a named independent lab and a report you can read that is tied to the batch in the tin?
Origin transparency
A named place and altitude, not just "Himalayan".
Purification disclosure
Is the method named and explained step by step?
Value per gram
Price per gram and per daily serve at typical Australian retail prices.
Availability and shipping
Stocked in Australia, shipping time and cost, easy to contact.
Reputation and reviews
Volume and consistency of public customer feedback.
Each criterion is scored from 0 to 10. The overall score is the weighted average, rounded to one decimal place.
Why evidence is weighted most
Shilajit is a natural mineral resin that can contain heavy metals, and "Himalayan" on a label is not proof of anything. We therefore give the most weight to evidence you can read yourself: a named independent lab with a report tied to a batch (30%) and a named origin (25%). Together those make up 55% of the score.
How we gather information
We review publicly available material: brand websites, retailer listings, published lab reports and customer review pages. We note where information came from retailers rather than the brand. We do not assume a brand has no testing because we could not find it, but we cannot score what we cannot see.
What the scores are and are not
- They are editorial opinion about how verifiable each brand's claims are, not laboratory results.
- They are not a statement about whether a product works or is safe for you.
- They reflect information available at the time of our last update (November 2026).
- Prices change. Always check live listings.

Limits we want to be upfront about
- No brand we reviewed publishes microbial or thallium results alongside its heavy metals data. See shilajit heavy metals.
- A brand with strong internal testing it does not publish will score lower than it may deserve.
- Retailer descriptions often repeat brand claims, so we treat them as claims.
