FAQs
-
Is this Shilajit lab-tested for New Zealand safety standards?
Absolutely. We know that Kiwis value purity above all else. Every batch of our Shilajit is independently lab-tested for heavy metals, including lead, mercury, and arsenic. Our resin consistently tests below 0.5 ppm for lead, which is significantly stricter than many international commercial standards, ensuring it is safe for daily consumption in NZ.
-
Do you have local stock in NZ, or is it shipped from overseas?
All our Shilajit is held in Auckland, New Zealand. When you order from Nature’s Basket, you don’t have to worry about long international shipping times or hidden customs fees. We dispatch daily via tracked courier, with most North Island orders arriving in 1–2 business days.
-
How do I know if your Shilajit is authentic?
Authentic Shilajit resin has a distinct, earthy (smoky) aroma and should dissolve completely in warm water without leaving any residue. It should also remain firm in the fridge and become pliable (soft) at room temperature. We provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with our batches to verify its mineral and fulvic acid content.
-
How should I take Shilajit resin for the best results?
For most Kiwis, the best way is to dissolve a pea-sized amount (approx. 250mg – 500mg) in warm (not boiling) filtered water, herbal tea, or your morning coffee. It’s best taken on an empty stomach in the morning to support natural energy levels throughout the day.
-
Can I use Shilajit if I am taking other supplements?
Shilajit is a potent mineral complex and generally pairs well with other natural botanicals like Ashwagandha. However, because it can affect iron levels and blood sugar, we always recommend that you consult your NZ healthcare professional if you are on prescription medication or have underlying health conditions.
-
Why is the resin better than Shilajit capsules?
While we offer both, the raw resin is the most traditional and least processed form. It retains a higher concentration of fulvic acid and trace minerals in their natural ionic state, which many of our NZ customers prefer for maximum absorption.
