How can I identify fake shilajit to ensure I'm not wasting my money? - #22116
I am really worried about the shilajit I've been buying lately. A couple of weeks ago, I got this jar from an online store, and it was advertised as premium quality shilajit. But I can't shake off this feeling that it's just fake shilajit. I did some research, and everyone is talking how common it is to find fake shilajit out there, and I didn’t realize it until after I ordered! It's just kinda frustrating. I mean, I thought I was being smart by selecting a brand with good reviews. Now I’m not sure what to look for! How am I supposed to know if it’s real or not? Like for example, the color is kinda off, and it doesn't dissolve in warm water as some people say real shilajit should do. I've also heard that the smell is supposed to be a certain way, but mine just smells… well, weird. So, I'm thinking maybe I got scammed? Has anyone else had this issue with fake shilajit? What red flags should I look out for, and how can I tell if I'm genuinely getting the potent stuff? Also, is there any way to test it at home or something? I'm just sooo overwhelmed and worried I'm just throwing my cash down the drain if this stuff is fake shilajit. Any tips would be super helpful! Thanks in advance for your help, guys!
