Can Shilajit Help Increase Your Iron Levels?
Iron deficiency is one of the most widespread nutritional gaps worldwide, impacting energy, cognition, and overall health. While traditional iron supplements are common, many people seek natural options - alternatives with bioavailable minerals and fewer side effects.

Shilajit’s Role in Ayurveda & Modern Health
For centuries, Ayurvedic medicine has valued shilajit as a powerful rejuvenator. Known as the “conqueror of mountains”, it has long been considered a viable adaptogen. This sticky, tar-like substance oozes from mountain rocks in the summer, blending minerals like fulvic and humic acids. Fulvic acid aids nutrient absorption, making minerals such as iron highly bioavailable.
Modern studies now support shilajit’s potential to improve energy, endurance, and cellular health, especially for iron and blood health.
Shilajit is rich in natural minerals that support red blood cell production.
Does Shilajit Increase Iron Levels?
Shilajit’s mineral-rich composition includes naturally occurring iron, which may help support iron levels in individuals with deficiencies. In a study on induced anemia in rats, shilajit treatment led to marked improvements in hemoglobin, hematocrit, and red blood cell counts compared to untreated groups. These results suggest shilajit may improve iron levels and support red blood cell production.
Fulvic acid, uniquely present in shilajit, further boosts nutrient bioavailability. This acid’s presence also aids iron transport into cells, potentially boosting absorption. NutroTonic’s 60-day sun-dried Himalayan resin, for example, contains over 86% fulvic acid. Sourced from altitudes of 17,000 feet, it provides mineral potency at its peak.
How Shilajit Compares to Other Iron Supplements
Traditional iron supplements can be effective but often have side effects, which may include digestive discomfort and low bioavailability. Shilajit, on the other hand, provides iron in a natural, bioavailable form, and the fulvic acid aids absorption, enhancing its effectiveness.
Our shilajit products stand out: they undergo nano-filtration and sun-drying - processes that maximize potency and purity. This ensures shilajit’s minerals remain clean and effective, without synthetic fillers or heavy metals often found in lower-quality products.
Beyond iron, shilajit supports cardiovascular, cognitive, and joint health; as such, it’s an all-rounder option for those seeking more than an iron boost.
For individuals living in high-altitude areas, shilajit may help reduce fatigue.
Who Can Benefit Most from Shilajit for Iron Support?
- Individuals with Dietary Restrictions: Vegans and vegetarians often lack adequate iron levels. Shilajit’s plant-based, bioavailable minerals offer a natural boost.
- Athletes and Active Individuals: High-endurance activities raise iron needs. Shilajit’s adaptogenic properties can further support energy and recovery.
- High-Altitude Residents or Travelers: Traditionally, shilajit has been used to counteract high-altitude fatigue and low oxygen. As such, it is a sound option for individuals living at a geographically higher elevation.
- Older Adults: As we age, iron absorption can decrease. Shilajit represents a natural option for sustained energy, joint support, and cognitive health.
How to Incorporate Shilajit into Your Routine
At NutroTonic, we offer Shilajit in 3 forms: resin, gummies, and liquid drops. These options fit a variety of preferences and lifestyles.
- Resin: Dissolve a lentil-sized amount in warm water, milk, or tea. This pure form undergoes a 60-day sun drying process, ensuring potency and 86% fulvic acid for iron absorption.
- Gummies: For an easy, tasty option, our gummies are sweetened with organic manuka honey. With organic vanilla bean flavor, these gummies offer convenient, consistent support.
- Liquid Drops: Add 1-3 drops to water or juice, up to 3 times daily. Start with a lower dose due to potency, adjusting as needed.
