Our story · Est. 2014 · Altai

We didn’t join the shilajit trend. We started it.

Years before the category exploded across social media, we were already sourcing authentic Altai resin and publishing what others prefer to photoshop. This is how we got here, and where we’re headed next.

A note from the founder
“Natural Shilajit changed my life, and it’s an honor to be part of your wellness journey.

Our founder, Andrey Kono, began this journey in 2014 with a single commitment: to share the real benefits of shilajit.

After relocating to the U.S. and feeling the effects of nutrient-poor modern diets firsthand, he went searching for a natural, potent answer, and found it in the resin of the Altai Mountains.

We built Natural Shilajit the opposite way to the market: real Altai resin, public batch testing, and verification you can actually check.

Goals & vision for the future

How we got here,
and where we’re going.

Every milestone since the first jar. The line grows as you scroll, and the future is just getting started.

  1. The first jar
    2014

    The first jar

    Our very first jar left the bench, a package we’ve since refined eight or nine times into the design you hold today.

  2. Shilajit Matcha
    2015

    Shilajit Matcha

    A shilajit-infused matcha green tea that early customers loved, later retired for its stubbornly short shelf life.

  3. NutriHoney
    2015

    NutriHoney

    Honey sticks dosed with shilajit, dreamed up after we couldn’t stop reaching for coffee-bean honey sticks.

  4. Erewhon
    2016

    Erewhon

    We earned a place on the shelves of Erewhon’s iconic Beverly Blvd store, then rolled out across every Los Angeles location.

  5. First event
    2016

    First event

    We packed a table and showed up at our very first offline event, meeting the people behind the orders face to face.

  6. First retail shelf
    2016

    First retail shelf

    Our resin earned its spot in its first independent retail store, well beyond the Erewhon shelves.

  7. First press
    2017

    First press

    A magazine featured us for the first time, a sign the story was finally travelling beyond our own customers.

  8. Skincare line
    2019

    Skincare line

    We formulated a shilajit skincare line. It was quietly beautiful, but we discontinued it once the costs stopped adding up.

  9. On television
    2019

    On television

    Our first television appearance put Altai resin in front of an audience that had never heard the word shilajit.

  10. Capsule form
    2021

    Capsule form

    We introduced Natural Shilajit in easy-to-dose vegetarian capsules, the ritual without the spoon.

  11. Samadhi Tonic
    2022

    Samadhi Tonic

    We released Samadhi Tonic, a sippable daily blend, then paused it over a packaging problem we refused to ship around.

  12. Functional mushrooms
    2023

    Functional mushrooms

    We grew beyond resin into a functional mushroom line, widening the daily ritual we’d built our name on.

  13. Shilajit Tablets
    2024

    Shilajit Tablets

    In 2024 we found a way to sun-dry our Altai resin into clean tablets, so the daily ritual could finally travel with you. No scooping, no weighing, just the same resin in a pocket-sized form.

  14. Shilajit Gummies
    2026

    Shilajit Gummies

    In 2026 we launched our first Shilajit Gummies, blending the resin with maca root and ashwagandha. It became our most approachable product yet, made for people who wanted the daily habit to actually taste good.

  15. Wellnest.Spa
    2030
    Next chapter

    Wellnest.Spa

    Our dream is a place where you can simply dissolve into your own body, slow right down, and regenerate. That’s our ultimate goal, the kind of spa we’ve always longed for.

I won’t tell you I climbed a mountain to collect your shilajit. I’d rather show you verifiable lab results.
12 Years in
shilajitSince 2014

I’ve been in the shilajit business since 2014, long before the category exploded across social media.

I watched dozens of brands appear with the same packaging and the same “16,000 feet” stories. By 2024 the market was flooded with runny syrups, private-label shortcuts and manufactured social proof.

We built Natural Shilajit the opposite way: real Altai resin, public batch testing and molecular verification you can actually check. Nearly $18,000 invested with Eurofins.

Our mission

Raise the standard for a whole category. One verified batch at a time.

Most of the shilajit market sells mystery. We sell traceable Altai resin, public lab reports, and a lot number you can check yourself, then let the resin earn the rest.
