Organifi Shilajit Review
I decided to take a closer look at Organifi Shilajit Gummies, mainly because they come with a hefty $67 price tag for just 30 servings. Organifi uses a branded shilajit extract called "PrimaVie," which sounds impressive on the surface, but I’ve got some serious concerns about the actual potency and value of what’s inside.
If you’re reading this and want the TLDR, no it’s not worth the price tag, the dose is actually half what you need for it to be effective, meaning you’d have to take 4 gummies a day coming to $130 a month (crazy) and if you want something that actually standardized for both fulvic acid and dibenzo a pyrones, just buy Nootrum, it’s $35 for the resin, or $50 for the gimmies, and you get a full dose, or double what’s in Organifi Shilajit.
Shilajit Quality (PrimaVie®)
PrimaVie shilajit might have brand recognition, but when it comes to actual quality, it doesn’t stand out as much as Organifi’s marketing suggests. PrimaVie is standardized to only 50% fulvic acids, which is a fairly average level. For anyone familiar with shilajit, fulvic acid is essential because it’s responsible for most of the health benefits. At 250 mg of PrimaVie per serving, you’re getting around 125 mg of fulvic acid—nowhere near the full dose needed to get optimal effects. And to make it worse, PrimaVie has relatively low levels of dibenzo-α-pyrones, another key bioactive component in high-quality shilajit. Basically, the whole PrimaVie thing is a bit of a marketing scam rather than the “quality” extract that Organifi shilajit and the others that use it would have you believe.
Other Ingredients and Potency
Then there’s the rest of the ingredient list. With 6 grams of added sugars per serving, the formula leans more toward a sweet treat than a potent health supplement. The sugars and flavors might make these gummies enjoyable to eat, but they don’t add any real value to the product’s efficacy. For $67, I’d expect a lot more focus on the actual active compounds rather than fillers.
Price and Value
At over double the cost of some other shilajit supplements, you’re essentially paying a premium just to have the PrimaVie brand name on the label. But given its low fulvic acid content and lack of other beneficial compounds, the value doesn’t match the price. There are options out there that deliver higher-potency shilajit, with a better profile of fulvic acids and micro-compounds, without breaking the bank.
Final Recommendation
If you’re looking for a genuine shilajit experience, I’d suggest skipping the $67 PrimaVie-branded option and going for a supplement that offers higher purity and a more substantial dose. At the end of the day, you’re paying a premium for the name rather than the quality, and in my view, that’s not worth it.
In short there are plenty of other good shilajit brands, (read my breakdown here), but if you’re looking for a quick recommendation it’s Nootrum.
