Origin plays a central role in the quality of Shilajit. Our Mumijo comes from the Gilgit-Baltistan region in northern Pakistan — one of the most renowned high-altitude zones for naturally occurring Shilajit.
A special connection exists with the Astore Valley, a remote mountain region in the Himalayan belt. One of the two Mumio founders was born there and is familiar with the local conditions and traditional harvesting methods.

Tradition meets modern quality standards
Local expertise is crucial for obtaining high-quality Shilajit. Therefore, Mumio works directly with selected local collector families.
These have:
- many years of experience in Shilajit collection
- detailed knowledge of the locations
- Understanding seasonal collecting cycles
- traditional methods of gentle extraction
The resin naturally oozes from rock fissures during the warm summer months and is carefully collected by hand. This manual method helps to preserve the original structure of the shilajit.

Transparent procurement without intermediaries
A key quality feature is the traceability of the supply chain. Mumio deliberately relies on a direct procurement approach without large intermediaries.
This enables us to:
- short and controllable delivery routes
- clear batch traceability
- direct quality control
- transparent documentation of origin
Each batch of our Shilajit can be traced back to its region of origin and is then independently tested in Switzerland.

Sustainable collection and fair partnerships
In addition to product quality, Mumio places great importance on responsible sourcing. Cooperation with local communities is based on long-term partnerships.
Our approach includes:
- fair compensation for collector families
- long-term collaborations
- respectful interaction with local structures
- Consideration of sustainable collection methods
The aim is to support traditional Shilajit production while protecting the sensitive high-mountain ecosystems.
Conclusion: Regional proximity as a quality advantage
The close connection to the region of origin in Gilgit-Baltistan allows Mumio controlled and transparent access to high-quality shilajit. Combined with independent Swiss laboratory analyses, this results in a product whose origin and purity are verifiably documented.
For discerning buyers in Switzerland, this means: natural Mumijo with clear origin, tested quality and responsible sourcing.
