§ 02 - The process

Reviewed. Not rubber-stamped.

Every Natural Shilajit article - whether on mineral density, DBP content, or Ayurvedic provenance - walks through four gates before it touches the site. Here’s what that looks like.

Step 01

Drafted

In-house research team writes from peer-reviewed sources. Every sentence cites back to one.

Step 02

Assigned

A reviewer is matched by specialism - chemistry, naturopathy, or herbalism - not availability.

Step 03

Audited

Citations pulled, claims stress-tested, language tightened. Weak evidence gets cut.

Step 04

Signed off

Reviewer’s name goes on the article - or the article doesn’t run. No exceptions.
