We sell shilajit in two formats: the traditional resin, and liquid drops. Neither is "better" — they hold the same substance — but they suit different routines. Here is an honest comparison so you can pick the right one first time.
The resin
Resin is shilajit in its classic form: dense, tar-like, dissolved into warm water or a drink. A pea-sized portion (about 0.5g) is a typical serving, measured with the non-magnetic surgical-steel spoon we include with every jar.
Where it wins: value per gram — a 50g jar at 0.5g a day lasts around 100 days; you control the exact amount; nothing added, nothing diluted.
Where it loses: it takes a minute — warm water, a spoon, a stir; it is sticky to handle; portioning on the move (a gym bag, a hotel room) is fiddlier. Within our own resins, the Salahuddin line is firmer and drier, the OG-1 line retains slightly more moisture and stays easier to portion — the difference shows in the moisture figures on the lab reports.
The liquid drops
The OG1 liquid drops are resin already dissolved, in a 30ml dropper bottle. A measured dose goes straight into water or under the tongue.
Where they win: nothing to weigh or dissolve, no sticky jar, easy to carry and easy to be consistent with — the format most likely to survive a busy week.
Where they lose: price per serving is higher than a large resin jar, and a bottle holds fewer servings than 50g of resin.
The quick answer
Settled routine at home and best value per gram: resin — start with a 10g tester if it is your first jar. Convenience, travel, or a dislike of the ritual: drops. Both come from the same Karakoram source, both are third-party lab tested, and both ship from the UK in GBP, with 30-day returns on unopened products.
