How Mumijo Originated – And Why Origin Is Everything
About Mumijo – Shilajit directly from the Astore Valley, tested in Switzerland
Mumio was founded by two friends who independently came to the same realization: The Shilajit sold in Europe has little in common with real, traditionally sourced Mumijo.
Co-founder — Sourcing & Acquisition
Wasseem Wazir
Wasseem grew up in Switzerland, but his roots are in the Astore Valley in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. His father comes from this region, where shilajit has been part of everyday life for centuries. When he realized what was being sold as shilajit in Europe, he traveled specifically to the high mountains to find the best source—and there he met collectors he personally knows and trusts.
Co-Founder — Quality & Market
John Schicker
John was looking for high-quality shilajit for himself, but couldn't find a product he trusted anywhere in Switzerland or Europe. What was available came from anonymous supply chains, with no transparency regarding origin or processing. When he spoke to his friend Wasseem and learned what Wasseem knew from his home region, the decision was clear. Together they founded Mumio — with the goal of bringing authentic shilajit directly from Gilgit-Baltistan to Switzerland. Without compromise.
"I didn't want to just launch another product. I wanted to bring what I know from my homeland — natural, pure, unprocessed."
"Finding authentic Shilajit in Switzerland or Europe proved to be a major challenge. That's why we decided to found Mumio, because we want to bring the true power of Mumio to Switzerland. Undiluted, genuine, and without false promises."
