From the Mountains of Gilgit: Our Sourcing Journey

For centuries, the mighty mountains of Gilgit-Baltistan have guarded one of nature’s most potent gifts — Shilajit. Hidden deep within rock crevices, this mineral-rich resin is slowly formed over centuries through the decomposition of organic plant matter under extreme pressure. At Dujana, we don’t just sell Shilajit. We bring you a story, a place, and a promise — directly from the heart of the mountains to your hands.

In this blog, we take you on our journey — from the majestic cliffs of Gilgit to our sun-drying process and lab testing — and show you exactly why our Shilajit is pure, ethical, and unmatched in quality.

Why Gilgit-Baltistan?

Gilgit is not just a place. It’s a sacred origin point. Located in the northernmost region of Pakistan, Gilgit-Baltistan is known for:

  • Unspoiled natural environment

  • High-altitude mineral-rich mountains (above 14,000 feet)

  • Free from industrial pollution

  • Ideal conditions for natural Shilajit formation

This rare, pristine environment makes Gilgit one of the purest and most potent Shilajit sources in the world. It’s also where Dujana chooses to operate — close to the source, connected to the land, and in full control of quality from the start.

Our Ethical Harvesting Approach

Harvesting Shilajit is not easy, nor should it be. It takes trained locals, skilled climbers, and a deep understanding of the terrain to identify and extract Shilajit without damaging the rock ecosystems.

At Dujana:

  • We work directly with local communities and harvesters

  • We follow sustainable practices — never over-harvesting from one site

  • We ensure fair wages and respectful working conditions for all local partners

  • We avoid the use of machinery to keep the process as natural and non-invasive as possible

This ethical sourcing ensures that nature continues to replenish herself, and the communities who protect these mountains also benefit economically.

The Journey from Rock to Resin

Once extracted, raw Shilajit is still filled with dirt, debris, and plant sediments. It cannot be consumed in this state. That’s why the real journey begins after the extraction.

Here’s how we transform it into pure, safe, and bioavailable resin:

Step 1: Cold Water Filtration
Raw Shilajit is soaked in natural spring water to begin the separation process. The heavy sediments sink, while the lighter, mineral-rich layer rises. This layer is carefully filtered multiple times without using any chemicals.

Step 2: Sun-Drying
Unlike many brands that use artificial heat or flame to dry Shilajit (which destroys nutrients), we follow the traditional sun-drying method. This allows the Shilajit to naturally thicken into resin while retaining all of its bioactive compounds.

Step 3: Final Purification & Packing
The thickened resin is once again filtered and sent for third-party lab testing. Once cleared, it is carefully hand-packed into airtight jars without any additives, preservatives, or fillers.

Why Purity Matters More Than Ever

Shilajit is widely available — but not all of it is safe. Many companies sell unprocessed, contaminated, or filler-loaded Shilajit, often sourced from low-altitude, polluted areas or made in labs using synthetic ingredients.

According to studies, unpurified Shilajit may contain heavy metals, mycotoxins, or harmful microorganisms.

At Dujana, we take purity seriously:

  • Every batch is lab-tested for heavy metals, microbial safety, and fulvic acid content

  • We only use resin form, never capsules or powders (which are often diluted)

  • We are fully transparent — and our reports are available for review

Fulvic Acid: The Gold Standard

One of the key reasons Shilajit is so potent is because of fulvic acid, a powerful antioxidant and detoxifier. But not all Shilajit contains the same concentration.

Shilajit from Gilgit has been tested to contain higher fulvic acid levels than products sourced from lower regions. This means:

  • Greater energy production (ATP)

  • Improved absorption of nutrients

  • Better detox and immune support

  • More visible results within weeks

When you choose Dujana, you’re choosing Gilgit-grade Shilajit, rich in fulvic acid and certified potent.
