Shilajit 101 – The Complete Guide for Canadians

Everything you need to know about Himalayan Shilajit: benefits, safety, dosage, Canadian regulations, and why Yoga Aura’s NPN-licensed formula is trusted across Canada and the USA.

What Is Shilajit?

Shilajit is a natural Himalayan mineral resin that forms over centuries as plant material and minerals are compressed in high-altitude rock layers. It is rich in fulvic acid, humic substances and more than 80 trace minerals that support cellular energy and overall wellness.

In Ayurveda, Shilajit has been known as the “Destroyer of Weakness” and traditionally used to support vitality, stamina and healthy aging.

Yoga Aura Shilajit is a Health Canada–licensed Natural Health Product (NPN 80137864), standardized to 50% fulvic acid, purified, third-party tested and made in GMP-certified facilities in Canada.

How Shilajit Supports Wellness

Shilajit is not a drug and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease. As a Natural Health Product, its role is to support normal physiological functions.

  • Helps support energy production and reduce occasional fatigue.
  • Source of antioxidants that help protect cells from oxidative stress.
  • Helps the body to metabolize carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
  • Provides trace minerals that support overall health and vitality.
  • Supports healthy aging and cellular function.

For Women

  • Supports steady daytime energy and mental clarity.
  • Helps with recovery from busy, high-stress lifestyles.
  • Provides mineral support alongside a healthy diet.

For Men

  • Traditionally used to support vitality and stamina.
  • Supports recovery from physical training and active routines.
  • May help support healthy testosterone levels in men within the normal range.

How to Take Yoga Aura Shilajit

  • Recommended dose: 1 capsule (500 mg) once daily, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.
  • Best time: Morning, on an empty stomach.
  • How to take: Swallow with warm water or warm plant milk/cow’s milk.
  • Avoid for 30 minutes: Coffee, tea, caffeine or stimulants for best absorption.

Most adults begin to notice subtle improvements in energy and clarity within the first 1–2 weeks, with more noticeable changes typically reported after 3–6 weeks of consistent use. Individual results vary.

Who Should Not Take Shilajit?

Yoga Aura Shilajit is intended for adults only.

Do not use if you:

  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Are under 18 years of age.
  • Have kidney disorders.
  • Have gout or a history of gouty arthritis.
  • Have a history of kidney stones or certain mineral metabolism disorders.
  • Have known iron overload conditions.

Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if you:

  • Have diabetes or are taking blood sugar–lowering medications.
  • Have any chronic medical condition.
  • Are taking prescription medications or multiple supplements.

Are There Any Side Effects?

Most adults tolerate Yoga Aura Shilajit well when taken as directed. Occasionally, some people may experience:

  • Mild digestive upset or loose stools.
  • Temporary changes in stool colour, due to mineral content.
  • A warm or slightly “energized” feeling as the body adjusts.

If you experience persistent or concerning symptoms, discontinue use and consult your healthcare practitioner. Stop use immediately and seek medical advice if you notice any signs of an allergic reaction (such as rash, itching or swelling).

Storage & Shelf Life

  • Store the bottle in a cool, dry place.
  • Keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
  • Keep out of reach of children.
  • Do not use if the safety seal is broken or missing.
  • Check the “Best Before” date printed on the bottle.

Shilajit Resin vs Capsules – What’s the Difference?

Traditional Shilajit comes as a sticky resin. While effective, it can be messy, difficult to measure and inconsistent in quality if not properly standardized.

Yoga Aura Shilajit uses resin-based extract in vegan capsules, giving you:

  • Standardized potency with 50% fulvic acid.
  • No strong taste or smell.
  • Easy, precise dosing – 500 mg per capsule.
  • Travel-friendly and convenient to take anywhere.
  • Tested and licensed as a Natural Health Product in Canada.

Can I Take Shilajit with Other Supplements?

Many people stack Shilajit with other Yoga Aura supplements as part of a comprehensive wellness routine.

  • Shilajit + Ashwagandha (with L-Theanine & Magnesium): energy support plus stress and sleep support.
  • Shilajit + Berberine: supports metabolic health and cellular energy from different angles.

If you are taking prescription medications or multiple supplements for the same concern, speak with your healthcare practitioner to avoid unnecessary overlap.

Is Yoga Aura Shilajit Vegan?

Yes. Our capsules are made from vegetable cellulose, and the formula contains no animal-derived ingredients, making it suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Where Is Yoga Aura Shilajit Made?

Yoga Aura Shilajit is formulated and encapsulated in Canada in GMP-certified facilities. Each batch is third-party tested for identity, potency and purity. Orders ship from Canada and the USA, depending on your location, to help minimize delivery times.
