Description
Zahler Shilajit capsules are built around PrimaVie, a clinically validated shilajit ingredient, with black pepper fruit extract added to the formula. Each serving of two capsules provides 500 mg of PrimaVie Shilajit Gum and Resin Extract, standardised to at least 50% fulvic acid. The label describes it as supporting energy and healthy ageing.
What is PrimaVie shilajit?
Shilajit is a resin-like substance traditionally used in Ayurvedic practice. PrimaVie is a purified shilajit extract that appears in a number of supplements, and Zahler uses it as the main ingredient here. The formula also includes Max Catalyst black pepper fruit extract, which the brand includes to enhance shilajit absorption.

How it can fit into your routine
Zahler suggests taking this product in the morning on an empty stomach, which makes it an easy addition to an existing morning habit such as a glass of water before breakfast. If you prefer to take supplements with food, speak with your healthcare practitioner about what works for you. A bottle of 60 capsules gives 30 servings, so it lasts about a month at the suggested use, which is a useful figure when you compare cost per serve. If you are comparing PrimaVie products, you might also look at Solaray Men's Shilajit, which has the same 500 mg serving but no added black pepper, or MegaFood Shilajit with Fulvic Acid, which blends shilajit extracts at different strengths.
Suggested use
Take 2 capsules daily, preferably in the morning on an empty stomach, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.
