Shilajit is a mineral-organic exudate, not a peptide and not a single chemical. Published descriptions treat it as a mixture that can include humic substances. Composition changes with the geological source. This page does not assign one CAS number, one formula, or one set of marker contents.
| Name | Shilajit |
|---|---|
| CAS number | Not assigned. A mixture does not have one registry number that covers every sample. |
| Class | Variable mineral-organic mixture. Not a peptide. |
| Identity of a lot | Would be the lot analysis, not a borrowed CAS number. |
| Catalog status | Not a current Cleared Peptides lot. |
Why the chemistry stays general
Humic substances are a class of organic acids in these exudates. Naming the class is not the same as claiming a percentage of fulvic acid, a mineral panel, or an effect. Those figures would have to come from a lot analysis. None is invented here.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is shilajit a peptide?
No.
Why is there no CAS number?
Because a single CAS number would pretend the mixture is one substance.
Is this for human use?
No. Laboratory reference only.
Selected References
Registry records and peer-reviewed literature listed as scientific background. Citation does not imply endorsement, a benefit, or any use.
- No single-molecule paper is cited. The statement on this page is that shilajit is a source-dependent mixture, so identity belongs on a lot record rather than in a universal formula.
