Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is shilajit? Shilajit is a natural resinous substance that forms over thousands of years from compressed plant matter in high-altitude mountain ranges. It contains over 85 ionic minerals, fulvic acid, and bioactive compounds that have been used in Ayurvedic medicine for over 5,000 years to support cognitive function, energy, and vitality.
Q: What makes Focurius different from other shilajit brands? Three things: source, purity, and transparency. We harvest exclusively above 16,000 feet in the Himalayas, use a proprietary three-step purification process, and third-party lab test every batch. Our resin contains 78% fulvic acid — well above the industry average. No fillers, binders, capsules, or synthetics. Just pure resin.
Q: How do I take Focurius shilajit? Take a rice-grain to pea-sized portion (approximately 300–500mg) and dissolve it in warm water, tea, or coffee. Take it once daily, preferably in the morning on an empty stomach for best absorption. It dissolves in about 30–60 seconds.
Q: What does it taste like? It has a strong, earthy, slightly bitter taste. That's actually a sign of purity — real shilajit has no sweeteners or fillers masking the natural flavour. Most people get used to it within a few days, especially when dissolved in warm water with a squeeze of lemon or honey.
Q: How long before I notice results? Some people feel a difference within the first week — typically improved energy and mental clarity. However, shilajit is a compound that builds in your system over time. Most people report the most noticeable results after 4–6 weeks of consistent daily use.
Q: Is shilajit safe? Purified shilajit has been used safely for thousands of years and is generally well-tolerated. Focurius is third-party lab tested for heavy metals, microbial contamination, and purity. However, we always recommend consulting your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a pre-existing condition.
Q: Can I take shilajit with other supplements? Yes. In fact, one of shilajit's notable properties is its ability to enhance the bioavailability of other nutrients. Many people take it alongside their existing supplement routine. That said, consult your healthcare provider if you are on prescription medication.
Q: Is Focurius vegan and gluten-free? Yes. Focurius is 100% pure shilajit resin with no animal-derived ingredients, no gluten, no dairy, no soy, and no artificial additives of any kind.
Q: How should I store it? Store at room temperature in a cool, dry place. Keep the lid tightly closed. Shilajit resin does not require refrigeration. Its shelf life is exceptionally long due to the natural preservation properties of the resin itself.
Q: How long does one jar last? One jar lasts approximately 30–60 days depending on your serving size. At the recommended daily dose (300–500mg), most customers find it lasts around 6–8 weeks.
Q: Where is your shilajit sourced? Our shilajit is harvested above 16,000 feet in the Himalayan mountain range. We work directly with local harvesters to ensure ethical sourcing and the highest possible raw material quality.
Q: Do you ship internationally? Yes. We ship worldwide. Shipping times and costs vary by destination. See our Shipping Policy for full details.

Q: Is Focurius third-party tested? Yes. Every batch is independently tested by accredited laboratories for fulvic acid content, heavy metals (lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium), microbial contamination, and overall purity. We are committed to full transparency.
