Anyone who buys Shilajit relies on the supplier's quality specifications. However, trust is not built on promises, but on verifiable facts. That is precisely why Mumio has every batch independently tested by Biolytix AG in Switzerland.
Here you can find out what is measured, what the results mean and why this is relevant for you. You can find the complete overview in the Shilajit Guide.
Why laboratory testing is essential for Shilajit
Shilajit is a natural resin. Its quality can vary significantly depending on the region of origin, collection, storage, and processing. Appearance, smell, or consistency provide initial clues – but do not replace objective quality testing.
Without a laboratory analysis, it is not possible for you as a buyer to verify:
- Whether the product is free of heavy metals
- Whether microbiological limits are met
- Whether the stated mineral content is actually present
- Whether fillers or foreign additives are included
Laboratory analysis provides facts where marketing statements only provide claims.
What Biolytix AG tests for in Mumio
Biolytix AG in Switzerland tests every batch of Mumio Shilajit for the following parameters: heavy metals (lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury), microbiological purity, mineral profile including manganese content and moisture content. The results are documented and dated batch-specifically.
Heavy metals
Heavy metal contamination is the biggest safety risk for natural products from high mountains. Tested are:
- Lead (Pb): below legal limits
- Cadmium (Cd): below legal limits
- Arsenic (As): below legal limits
- Mercury (Hg): below legal limits
Only batches that comply with all limit values are released.
Microbiological purity
Shilajit is collected in a remote natural environment and transported in a closed system. Nevertheless, Mumio tests every batch for microbiological contamination: germs, molds, bacteria. This is not an optional quality step, but a basic standard for food supplements in Switzerland.
Mineral profile and manganese content
The mineral profile documents which trace elements are present in the resin and in what concentration. Particularly relevant: the manganese content.
Manganese demonstrably contributes to normal energy metabolism and protects cells from oxidative stress. This statement is approved by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) – and only applies if the product actually contains sufficient manganese. The laboratory proof confirms this.
Moisture content
Excessive moisture content impairs shelf life and consistency. Too low indicates over-processing. The measured value is a quality characteristic for the optimal balance of purity and consistency.
What laboratory analyses say about quality
Laboratory values provide objective quality information – regardless of the supplier. They show:
- Whether heavy metals are below harmless limits
- Whether the product is microbiologically safe
- Whether the mineral content corresponds to natural levels
- Whether foreign substances or extenders are detectable
Products without current, dated lab results from an independent, accredited laboratory cannot make any of these statements.
How Mumio ensures transparency
Mumio relies on complete batch transparency:
- Each batch has a unique batch number
- Laboratory reports are dated and batch-specific
- Traceability back to the region of origin in Gilgit-Baltistan is documented
- Biolytix AG is an independent, accredited Swiss laboratory
This is not a marketing statement. It is a documented, repeatable process for every delivery.
Frequent Questions about Shilajit Lab Testing
Which laboratory tests Mumio Shilajit?
Biolytix AG in Switzerland. It is an independent, accredited laboratory that performs food and supplement analyses according to Swiss standards.
What exactly is measured in the heavy metal test?
Lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury are measured – the four most relevant heavy metals for natural products from high mountains. All values must be below the legal limits for food supplements applicable in Switzerland.
Why are Swiss laboratories particularly relevant?
Swiss laboratory standards are internationally considered particularly strict and transparent. An analysis by an accredited Swiss laboratory provides an objective, trustworthy basis for quality assessments – even for critical customers from the DACH region.
How often is each batch tested?
Each batch is fully tested once before release for dispatch. This means that no Mumio Shilajit is dispatched without first having passed all test parameters of Biolytix AG.
Conclusion
Laboratory testing is not an optional added value for Shilajit – it is a prerequisite for a safe, high-quality product. Mumio has every batch independently tested by Biolytix AG in Switzerland. The results are batch-specific, dated, and fully documented.
