About American Grit
Health should be built on truth—not hype. American Grit was born when we uncovered one of the biggest Shilajit deceptions in the market: a well-known brand claimed 75% fulvic acid. Independent LAMAR testing told a different story—barely over 6%. The resin even tasted sweet, a classic red flag. That moment became our origin: if the industry wouldn’t be honest, we would.
Our Origin Story: From Lie → Launch
- The discovery: We saw “75% fulvic” claims that didn’t pass the smell—or taste—test.
- The proof: Third-party LAMAR analysis showed <7% fulvic, not 75%.
- The tell: A sweet flavor where authentic Shilajit is naturally bitter and mineral-rich.
- The decision: Build a company anchored to verified numbers, not marketing spin.
Bitter is Better.
Real Shilajit isn’t candy. It’s minerals, grit, and truth.
What Makes Us Different
- COA Transparency: Every lot ships with a batch-matched Certificate of Analysis listing fulvic %, heavy metals (ICP-MS), and microbial results—methods disclosed (e.g., LAMAR).
