Description
Swanson Shilajit Extract 100 mg is an extra-strength, once-daily capsule made with TruFulvic purified shilajit extract. The extract is standardised to a minimum of 70% fulvic acids and equivalents, so a small capsule delivers a concentrated amount of fulvic acid. Each bottle contains 30 veggie capsules, which makes it an easy way to try shilajit without committing to a large supply.
What is TruFulvic shilajit extract?
Shilajit is a form of mineral pitch found in the Himalayas and a foundational substance in Ayurvedic tradition. It is a concentrated source of trace minerals and fulvic acid. TruFulvic is the purified shilajit extract brand used in this Swanson product, and the label positions the supplement under brain health and energy.

Ingredients
Each capsule contains TruFulvic shilajit extract (asphaltum, mineral pitch), 100 mg. Other ingredients are brown rice flour, hypromellose (vegetarian capsule) and magnesium silicate. Please check the label on your bottle if you have any allergies or dietary requirements.
Starting with a small amount
Because the extract is standardised to a minimum of 70% fulvic acids, 100 mg is a concentrated capsule despite its small size, so comparing only the milligram figure on different labels can be misleading. A bottle of 30 gives you a month at one capsule per day, which is a low-commitment way to see whether shilajit fits your routine before you buy a larger bottle. As always, check with your healthcare provider if you are unsure whether it suits you.
Who it may suit
A 100 mg capsule is a smaller amount than most shilajit capsules, so it can suit people who prefer to start modestly and see how they go. If you would like a higher amount, the Swanson Shilajit Extract 400 mg is standardised to 5% fulvic acid and purified with Triphala, while Jarrow Formulas Vegan Shilajit provides 250 mg per capsule. Comparing the fulvic acid percentage as well as the capsule strength gives you a fairer picture of each product.
How to take it
As a dietary supplement, take one veggie capsule per day with water. Many people choose a regular time, such as with breakfast, so the habit is easy to keep.
