Compound list of Shilajit
Original post in this thread

Does anyone have a link that shows the list of minerals, vitamins and organic compounds in shilajit.
I tried looking and I was not able to find anything other than bits and pieces. There's 84 compounds and there's not one list to show it. Whatever anyone can supply that would be great thank you.

Any context on why Potassium is by far the highest at 72,600 ppm?
Based on the PPM calculation above, this would equate almost 20mg of Potassium. That's a significant % of the 250mg Shilajit dose. Is this typical for Shilajit in general - or specific to Primavie Shilajit?
Edit: Can you also confirm if I am correct in my interpretation that of the 250mg Primavie; roughly 8% (20mg) is, just, Potassium? Is it possible to determine the type of Potassium (i.e. aspartate, chelate, chloride, phosphate, bicarbonate, citrate, etc)?

Roughly 18.15mg of potassium in a 250mg dose of Primavie. It's going to be elemental potassium, since it would be absorbing it from the environment. Short of going out to the Himalayas and testing the soil in the area the shilajit is harvested from, it's going to be speculative as to why it is that high.
