Shilajit (Asphaltum, Shilajatu) is a mineral-rich exudate collected from Himalayan rock, and one of the best-known Rasayana dravyas in classical Ayurveda. These Ayucare capsules contain purified (shuddha) Shilajit in a convenient 30-capsule pack. Shilajit is a classical Ayurvedic medicine and should be taken under the guidance of a qualified Ayurvedic physician.
About Shilajit
Shilajit is not a plant. It is a dark, resinous exudate that seeps from rock faces in the Himalaya and other high mountain ranges, formed over a very long period. Classical Ayurveda calls it Shilajatu and places it among the Rasayana dravyas — the group described as nourishing and restorative when used appropriately.
Raw shilajit is never used as collected. Classical practice requires shodhana — purification — before it enters a medicine, which is why any pack you buy should say shuddha (purified) shilajit. This is also the single biggest quality question with this material, because unpurified or adulterated shilajit is common in the market.
Classical Context
Classical texts describe Shilajatu as tikta and katu in rasa, ushna in virya, and as a Rasayana and yogavahi dravya — one that carries and enhances the character of what it is taken with. It is traditionally described as Kapha-Vata balancing.
These are classical descriptions of the dravya's character, presented for educational interest. They are not claims that this product diagnoses, prevents or alters any medical condition.

How to Use
Use only as directed by a qualified Ayurvedic physician, or exactly as printed on the pack. Shilajit is classically taken with a specific anupan chosen for the person, and because it is described as yogavahi, what it is taken with matters. Riddhish Herbals does not set a dose on this listing.
Who Can Use It
For adults, on the advice of a qualified Ayurvedic physician. Not for children. Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you take any regular medication, or are managing any health condition, tell your doctor before starting.
Safety Information
Shilajit is an Ayurvedic medicine and should be used under the guidance of a qualified Ayurvedic physician, not as a self-chosen daily supplement. Only purified (shuddha) shilajit should ever be taken — raw or adulterated material is a genuine risk in this category. Consult your physician before use if you are pregnant, lactating, taking any medication, or managing any health condition. Not for children. This is not a substitute for medical care. Keep out of reach of children. Results may vary from person to person.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, with the container tightly closed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Shilajit?
Shilajit (Shilajatu, Asphaltum) is a mineral-rich exudate that seeps from Himalayan rock. Classical Ayurveda places it among the Rasayana dravyas and requires it to be purified before use.
What does “shuddha” shilajit mean?
Shuddha means purified. Classical practice requires shodhana — a purification process — before shilajit is used in any medicine. Raw shilajit should never be taken.
How should Shilajit capsules be taken?
Only as directed by a qualified Ayurvedic physician, or exactly as printed on the pack. The anupan matters, because shilajit is classically described as yogavahi.
What are the classical properties of Shilajatu?
Tikta and katu in rasa, ushna in virya, described as a Rasayana and yogavahi dravya, and traditionally Kapha-Vata balancing.
Can I take it without consulting anyone?
No. Shilajit is an Ayurvedic medicine rather than a general supplement, and the amount and anupan should be set by a qualified Ayurvedic physician.
Is it suitable during pregnancy, or for children?
No. It is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and not for children.
How do I know shilajit is genuine?
Adulteration is a real problem in this category. Buy purified (shuddha) material from a seller who gives a bill and states what the pack declares — and be cautious of unusually cheap shilajit.
Can it be taken with other medicines?
Tell your doctor before combining it with anything you take regularly.
How should it be stored?
In a cool, dry place away from sunlight and moisture, with the container tightly closed.
Is this a genuine pack with a bill?
Yes. Riddhish Herbals sources this directly and ships every order with a bill, and has served customers since 2015.
