Shilajit gummies have become one of the most popular ways to take shilajit, mostly because they taste far better than resin. But do they actually work, or are they just candy with a trendy name? Here's an honest look, from a brand that sells both gummies and resin.
The short answer
Shilajit gummies can be a good way to take shilajit if they contain a meaningful amount of real, tested shilajit. Most contain less shilajit per serving than a pea-size piece of resin, plus sweeteners and a gelling agent. Their biggest strength is that people actually keep taking them. Check the label and the lab report before you buy any brand.
What are shilajit gummies?
Shilajit gummies are chewable supplements made by mixing purified shilajit into a gummy base, usually with a sweetener, a gelling agent such as pectin or gelatin, and flavouring. They give you a pre-measured serving with none of the bitter, earthy taste of resin.
What do shilajit gummies do?
They do the same thing as any other form of shilajit: they add fulvic acid, humic acid and trace minerals to your diet. The human research on shilajit, which looked at things like testosterone and strength in men, used purified shilajit rather than gummies specifically. So the question with any gummy is how much real shilajit each one contains.
Do shilajit gummies work as well as resin?
Gram for gram, resin gives you more shilajit, because there's nothing else in it. A gummy is mostly gummy. Many gummies contain less shilajit per serving than a pea-size piece of resin. That doesn't make gummies useless. It means you should compare how much shilajit is actually in each serving, which you'll find on the supplement facts panel.
On the other hand, gummies have one big advantage. The research on shilajit used daily intake over 8 to 12 weeks, and many people give up on resin because of the taste. A gummy you take every day may serve you better than a jar of resin you abandon after a week. Our comparison of resin, drops, capsules and gummies explains the trade-offs.
Are shilajit gummies legit?
Some are and some aren't. Because gummies hide the colour, taste and texture of shilajit, you can't tell anything about the shilajit inside just by looking at them. That makes a lab report even more important for gummies than for resin. A legitimate brand will tell you how much shilajit is in each serving and show you independent testing of the shilajit it uses. Read our guide on how to tell if shilajit is real for what to look for.
How many shilajit gummies per day?
Most shilajit gummies are designed to be taken one or two a day. Ours are 1 to 2 gummies a day, ideally after a meal. Don't take extra because they taste good. See our dosage guide for more.
Who are gummies best for?
Gummies suit people who are new to shilajit, anyone who can't get past the taste of resin, and anyone who wants the simplest possible daily habit. If you're watching your sugar intake, check the label first, as most gummies contain some sweetener.
How to choose good shilajit gummies
Look for the amount of shilajit per serving on the label, an independent lab report for the shilajit used, a short and clear ingredient list, a fair price per serving and a money-back guarantee. Store them somewhere cool so they don't soften and stick together.
