Mumio was not founded because Shilajit is a trend. Mumio exists because one of the founders comes from the region where the resin is collected – and because there was no product on the European market that truly delivered on what Shilajit promises.
That's the background. Here are the facts. For the full overview, see the Shilajit Guide.
What makes Mumio Shilajit different?
Mumio Shilajit comes directly from the Astore Valley in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. Co-founder Wasseem Wazi is from this region and knows the collector families personally. Every batch is independently tested in Switzerland by Biolytix AG – no intermediaries, no anonymous supply chain.
That sounds simple. It is the crucial difference from the majority of the Shilajit market.
Direct connection to the source – Gilgit-Baltistan
Wasseem Wazir – personal origin from the Astore Valley
Wasseem Wazir's father is from Gilgit-Baltistan. Wasseem grew up there – with Shilajit as a natural part of everyday life in the region. He knew the collection sites and the people who collect there long before Mumio existed.
This is not a marketing story. This is why Mumio can achieve direct sourcing that is simply not possible for other suppliers.
No trade chain, no anonymity
Most Shilajit products on the European market go through several trade stages: raw material traders, importers, processors. Each stage means: less control, less transparency, more opportunities for quality loss or adulteration.
Mumio works directly with selected collector families in Gilgit-Baltistan. The supply chain is short, controllable, and fully documented.

Natural – what that specifically means
Mumio Shilajit is a natural resin. It is not an extract, powder, or capsule product. Processing is limited to multi-stage, gentle cleaning – without chemical aids, synthetic additives, or enrichment.
What this means:
- No carriers
- No flavors or taste enhancers
- No industrial extraction
- No preservatives
- No standardization to artificial active ingredient levels
The resin arrives in Switzerland as it was obtained in Gilgit-Baltistan – cleaned, but not altered.
Swiss quality control – what is tested
Origin claims are easy. Lab results are facts.
Mumio has every batch tested by Biolytix AG in Switzerland. Parameters tested:
- Heavy metals: Lead, Cadmium, Arsenic, Mercury – below legal limits
- Microbiological purity: free from germs and molds
- Mineral profile: including manganese content
- Moisture content: quality characteristic for consistency and shelf life
Manganese has been shown to contribute to normal energy metabolism and protect cells from oxidative stress – an EFSA-approved health claim that refers to the natural manganese content in Shilajit.
Each delivery is marked with a batch number and traceable to the region of origin.
Frequently asked questions about Mumio Shilajit
Where exactly does Mumio Shilajit come from?
Mumio Shilajit comes from the Astore Valley in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. This region is located at the intersection of the Himalayas, Karakoram, and Hindu Kush – at altitudes above 3,000 meters.

Yes. Mumio Shilajit is exclusively natural resin – without carriers, flavorings, preservatives, or synthetic additives. Biolytix AG's laboratory analysis confirms the absence of foreign substances for each batch.

Three points: direct origin (no wholesaler, personal connection to the collection region), exclusively resin form (no powder, no capsules, no extract), and batch-specific laboratory testing by Biolytix AG in Switzerland.
Conclusion
Mumio Shilajit stands for three things: direct origin from Gilgit-Baltistan, natural resin form without additives, and Swiss quality control by Biolytix AG. This is not a marketing statement – this is the documented process behind every jar.
