Did you know?
The Shilajit market is unfortunately saturated with substandard or counterfeit products. According to some estimates, over 90% of available products do not meet expected purity standards. This situation is exacerbated by the lack of transparency from many suppliers regarding their manufacturing processes.
At Ômara, we are committed to providing complete transparency and impeccable quality for every batch of Shilajit. Our two formulas, Ômara by Ammala and Ômara by Terrame, are the result of rigorous selection and traditional purification methods, guaranteeing an authentic and effective resin.
