Shilajit extract powder in a bowl with pieces of shilajit resin

Shilajit wholesale: 5% and 50% extract powder and capsules for private label

Short answer: shilajit is bought in bulk as purified extract, standardised to a percentage of fulvic acid. GOA Supply offers two grades, at least 5% and at least 50% fulvic acid, each as extract powder (from 10 kg) and as ready-filled capsules (from 20,000 pieces), wholesale and as private label. In the EU, shilajit (mumijo) is not novel in food supplements but is considered novel in other foods, so it is a raw material for supplement brands. Check the definition of the percentage and the heavy metal results before you buy.

What is shilajit?

Shilajit, also known as mumijo, is a dark, resin-like substance found in mountain rock. The EU Novel Food Catalogue lists it as Asphaltum punjabianum, with mumijo and shilajit as common names. The French database Compl'Alim describes it as a mineral fat or rock butter and lists fulvic acid and humic acid among its substances. For supplements, the raw resin is purified and extracted, and the extract is supplied as a powder that is standardised to a minimum fulvic acid content. Because it is a substance from rock rather than a plant, the checks differ from those for herbal extracts: identity, the fulvic acid figure and contaminants matter most.

What to check when you buy shilajit extract in bulk

  • What the percentage means. Our 5% and 50% grades refer to a minimum fulvic acid content. When you compare suppliers, check that their percentage refers to the same compound and ask which analytical method the certificate of analysis uses, so you compare like with like.
  • Heavy metals. Regulation (EU) 2023/915 sets maximum levels for food supplements of 3.0 mg/kg lead, 1.0 mg/kg cadmium and 0.10 mg/kg mercury. For a substance from rock, ask for results for these metals on every batch CoA and check them against the limits.
  • Identity and purification. The specification should describe the material as purified shilajit (mumijo) resin extract and state the form. Ask whether a carrier was added to the powder.
  • Origin. Our 5% extract powder has China as country of origin. For the other products, the origin is in the specification.
  • Capsules. Our 5% capsules use vegetarian HPMC capsules; for the 50% capsules, the capsule material and fill weight are in the specification. Check the fill weight per capsule when you calculate the amount per daily portion for your label.
  • Storage. Keep extract powders closed, cool and dry, and reseal opened bulk bags well.

EU regulation: shilajit only in food supplements

The EU Novel Food Catalogue entry for Asphaltum punjabianum (mumijo, shilajit), checked on 10 November 2026, has the status not novel in food supplements. The entry is based on a conclusion of the German Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety (BVL): mumijo is novel when used as or in foods other than food supplements, and would then need an authorisation under Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. In practice, this means shilajit belongs in capsules, powders and other food supplements, not in regular foods such as drinks or snacks.

In France, Compl'Alim lists shilajit as an active ingredient, with mumijo, refined mumiyo and asphaltum bitumens as synonyms, and does not mark it as a novel food. Compl'Alim notes that its ingredient database is a guide without legal force, so operators remain responsible for the novel food status of what they sell.
