Himalayan shilajit and Altai shilajit are both natural substances that are used for a variety of health benefits. Both are derived from the same source - the breakdown of plants in the Himalayas and the Altai mountains, respectively - but there are some key differences between the two that make Himalayan shilajit superior.

First, Himalayan shilajit is more pure and potent than Altai shilajit. This is because it is sourced from the higher and more remote regions of the Himalayas, which means it is less likely to be contaminated by pollutants or other impurities. In contrast, Altai shilajit is sourced from the lower and more accessible regions of the Altai mountains, which means it is more susceptible to contamination.

Second, Himalayan shilajit is more carefully processed and tested than Altai shilajit. This is because it is produced by experienced and reputable manufacturers who use strict quality control measures to ensure the purity and potency of their products. In contrast, Altai shilajit is often produced by less experienced and less reputable manufacturers who may not use the same level of quality control.

Third, Himalayan shilajit has been extensively studied and proven to be effective for a wide range of health benefits. This is because it has been used for centuries in traditional Ayurvedic medicine, and has been the subject of numerous scientific studies that have demonstrated its effectiveness. In contrast, Altai shilajit has not been as extensively studied, and therefore its effectiveness for various health benefits is not as well established.

Overall, Himalayan shilajit is the superior choice over Altai shilajit due to its purity, potency, careful processing, and proven effectiveness. It is the better option for those looking to experience the many health benefits of shilajit.

Shilajit's health benefits studies:
 
Chronic fatigue: 

• Shilajit attenuates behavioural symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome.

Low testosterone level:​

• Clinical evaluation of purified Shilajit on testosterone levels in healthy volunteers “testosterone in a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study at a dose of 250 mg twice a day. Treatment with Shilajit for consecutive 90 days revealed that it has significantly (P < 0.05) increased total testosterone, free testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEAS) compared with placebo.”

gastrointestinal function

• Shilajit Improves gastrointestinal function: Copied from the abstract of this study (one of many that investigated the shilajit benefits to the human gastrointestinal function): "Traditional medicine and modern research claim Fulvic Acid can modulate the immune system, influence the oxidative state of cells, and improve gastrointestinal function; all of which are hallmarks of diabetes".
