ShilNepal is the best lab-tested shilajit in Australia because it publishes a full, batch-linked heavy metals report (Batch #1093, Eurofins Food Australia, report AR-25-NV-025372-01). Alchemist Organics names Eurofins and Lifecykel claims broad third-party testing, but we found no public batch reports for them.
"Lab tested" is on almost every shilajit label. It is also one of the least meaningful phrases in the category unless you can read the report. We compared what each brand actually shows.
Lab evidence compared
| Rank | Brand | Lab named | Report public | What is covered |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ShilNepal | Eurofins Food Australia | Yes, full report | Arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, nickel |
| 2 | Alchemist Organics | Eurofins Scientific (per retailer) | Not found | Purity, potency, safety (per listing) |
| 3 | Lifecykel | Third party (not confirmed) | Not verified | Heavy metals, microbes, pesticides (per listing) |
| 4 | Evolution Botanicals | NABL-accredited labs (per retailer) | Not found | Not detailed |
| 5 | Teelixir | Not named | Not found | Heavy metals (per listing) |
| 6 | Maharishi Ayurveda | None found | No | Nothing found |
1. ShilNepal
ShilNepal publishes the full Eurofins Food Australia report for Batch #1093 on its website. Results: arsenic 0.14 mg/kg, cadmium 0.008 mg/kg, lead 0.89 mg/kg, mercury not detected, chromium 13.1 mg/kg and nickel 1.93 mg/kg. The brand compares these with the closest Australian benchmarks and notes that every element is below them. It also states what the report does not cover: heavy metals only, and some tests fall outside the lab's accreditation scope. The batch number is on the tin. Read the review or view the lab report.
2. Alchemist Organics
Retailer listings say the product is tested by Eurofins Scientific for purity, potency and safety. We could not find a public batch report. Review.
3. Lifecykel
A retailer listing says each batch is third-party tested for heavy metals, microbes and pesticides. That is the broadest panel claimed in our group, but we could not verify the documentation. Review.
4 to 6. Evolution Botanicals, Teelixir, Maharishi Ayurveda
Evolution Botanicals has a retailer-reported NABL laboratory claim, Teelixir's listings say tested for heavy metals, and we found no testing claim at all for Maharishi Ayurveda. None publishes a report we could read.
What a good lab report includes
- A named independent lab and report ID.
- A date after the batch was made.
- A sample reference matching the batch number on your product.
- The tests performed and the method.
- Results with units and limits of quantification.
- An honest statement of what was not tested.
Our guide to reading a shilajit lab report walks through each point.
What no brand tests (yet)
None of the brands we reviewed publishes thallium results, and only Lifecykel claims microbial and pesticide testing. A 2025 study reported thallium in some shilajit products, and there is no established consumer limit for it. See shilajit heavy metals. Until more brands test for it, ask.
How to request a lab report
Email the brand and ask: "Can you send the certificate of analysis for batch [number]?" A good brand will reply quickly. If they cannot, consider choosing one that can.
Frequently asked questions
Which shilajit has a published lab report in Australia?
ShilNepal publishes its full Batch #1093 Eurofins Food Australia report. We did not find public batch reports for the other brands in our ranking.
What should a shilajit lab report test for?
At minimum arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury. Ideally also microbial counts and thallium.
Is "third-party tested" enough?
No. The phrase means little without a named lab and a batch-linked report you can read.
How do I know a lab report is genuine?
Check the lab's name and report ID, and that the sample reference matches your batch number. If in doubt, contact the lab.
