Does Shilajit Essential Extract contain sugars or additives? Is it safe for people limiting sugar?Updated 8 days ago

Shilajit Essential Extract uses purified Shilajit resin (≥70% fulvic acid) as the main active ingredient. To keep the product stable and easier to take every day, a very small amount of functional support ingredients may be added, such as: Maltodextrin, Citric acid, Potassium sorbate, Nisin, a minimal amount of corn-derived syrup (which can include high-fructose corn syrup)

These are food-grade additives, not addictive substances. They are not added as sweeteners. Their roles are to:

Gently soften Shilajit’s naturally strong, earthy, slightly bitter taste
Maintain a smooth texture and prevent clumping
Help the product stay stable and fresh, especially in warm or humid climates

The amount of corn-derived syrup used per serving is extremely small — less than 1/150 of the sugar in a single apple, and far below what is considered significant in most everyday foods. For most people, including those who monitor sugar intake or follow low-sugar diets, this does not make a meaningful contribution to daily sugar consumption.

Every batch of Shilajit Essential Extract is made in GMP-certified, FDA-registered facilities and tested for purity, heavy metals, and contaminants.

If you prefer a Shilajit product with no additives, no carriers, and no syrups at all, our Himalayan Pure Shilajit Gold Resin (≥75% fulvic acid) is 100% pure resin with no added support ingredients. However, it retains Shilajit’s original, earthy taste, which some people may find more challenging to use daily.
