Hamdard Qurs Salajeet is a Unani compound tablet made by Hamdard in which purified salajeet (salajeet musaffa) is one ingredient among several. Pure shilajit resin is a single ingredient: purified salajeet on its own, with nothing else mixed in. So the real choice is between a traditional multi-ingredient Unani formula and plain shilajit.
Below we explain what is in Qurs Salajeet, how it is used according to its listings, what it costs in Pakistan, and how it compares with pure resin. Hamdard is a long-established and respected Unani company; this page is a fair side-by-side, not a verdict on either product.
What is Hamdard Qurs Salajeet?
"Qurs" means tablet in Unani and Urdu usage, so "qurs salajeet" simply means a salajeet tablet. Hamdard's version is a compound formula: salajeet is part of the recipe, alongside herbs, gums and traditional mineral preparations. Hamdard itself is a Unani (tibb) medicine company with long-established operations in both Pakistan (Hamdard Pakistan) and India.
Ingredients listed on Indian Hamdard packs
Indian Hamdard pack listings (50 tablets) list ingredients including:
- Behman Surkh
- Salajeet Musaffa (purified salajeet)
- Gond
- Kushta Baiza Murgh
- Kushta Qalai
- Kushta Khabsul Hadeed
- Qiwam Shakar Safaid
- Shamaeen
- Sang Jarahat Saeeda
- Magnesia Fahmi
Please note this list comes from Indian pack listings. The Pakistani pack may differ, so always read the ingredient list on the pack you actually buy.
What "kushta" means
"Kushta" are traditional calcined mineral preparations used in Unani medicine. They are a normal part of many classical Unani formulas. If you want only shilajit, or if you avoid mineral or metal preparations (for example because of kidney problems), ask a doctor or hakeem before taking a compound tablet like this.
Qurs salajeet uses and benefits (as listed)
The Indian Hamdard pack listings give the indications as "nocturnal emission, polyuria and general debility". Pakistani online listings describe Qurs Salajeet for general weakness (debility) and fatigue.
These are the uses stated by the product listings, based on Unani tradition. Treat them as traditional indications rather than promised results.
Qurs salajeet dosage: how is it taken?
The Indian pack listings give a dose of 2 tablets in the morning with milk. The Pakistani pack may give different directions.
Follow the directions printed on your own pack, or the advice of a qualified hakeem who knows your health history. Do not combine it with other shilajit products without asking first.
Hamdard Qurs Salajeet price in Pakistan
Listed prices seen on Pakistani websites in October 2026 ranged from about Rs 65 to Rs 200, depending on pack size and seller. For example, one listing showed a 20-tablet pack at Rs 200.
Prices change and differ between pharmacies and online stores, so check the current price and pack size with the seller before ordering.
Pure shilajit resin in brief
Shilajit (salajeet) is a natural, tar-like substance that seeps from rocks in high mountains. After collection it is purified and sold as a soft resin. Pure resin contains only shilajit: no herbs, sugar base or mineral preparations are added. For a fuller explanation, read what salajeet is and where it comes from.
In Pakistan it is also spelled shilajeet or silajit; in Russian it is called mumijo, and in English it is sometimes called mineral pitch. It forms in the Himalaya, Karakoram and Hindu Kush ranges, and in Pakistan it is collected in Gilgit-Baltistan and Chitral. Its main components are humic substances, mainly fulvic acid, along with minerals and trace elements such as iron, calcium, magnesium and zinc. Our article on fulvic acid, the main active compound in shilajit explains this in more detail.
Purification matters. Raw or poorly processed shilajit can contain heavy metals such as lead, arsenic and mercury, so choose resin that has been properly purified and independently lab tested.
Most people take 300–500 mg of resin a day (about a pea or rice-grain size), dissolved in warm water or milk, and start at the lower end. Our guide on how to take shilajit with milk covers this step by step, and the complete shilajit guide covers traditional uses and what research suggests.
Qurs salajeet vs shilajit resin: comparison table
| Hamdard Qurs Salajeet | Pure shilajit resin | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Unani compound tablet by Hamdard | Single-ingredient purified shilajit |
| Ingredients | Salajeet musaffa plus several other herbal, mineral and kushta ingredients (per Indian pack listings) | Shilajit only |
| Tradition | Unani compound formula | Used in both Ayurveda (as a rasayana, or rejuvenating tonic) and Unani medicine |
| Form | Tablet | Soft resin in a jar |
| Typical use | Listed for general debility, fatigue, nocturnal emission and polyuria | Traditional daily tonic for energy and general wellbeing |
| Dose | 2 tablets in the morning with milk (Indian listing); follow your pack | 300–500 mg a day in warm water or milk; start low |
| Price | About Rs 65–200 per pack online (Oct 2026); varies by seller | Chitral House: Rs 1,400 for 10 g up to Rs 4,500 for 60 g + 10 g free |
| Who it suits | People who want a classical Unani formula, ideally on a hakeem's advice | People who want plain shilajit with no other ingredients |
The two are not direct substitutes. A tablet pack and a resin jar contain different amounts and are used differently, so a straight price-per-pack comparison does not tell the full story.
Which should you choose?
It depends on what you are looking for:
- Choose a traditional Unani formula like Qurs Salajeet if a hakeem has recommended it, or if you specifically want the combined recipe with its other ingredients.
- Choose pure shilajit resin if you want shilajit alone, want to control the amount you take, or prefer to avoid kushta and other added ingredients.
One important point: nocturnal emission and urinary symptoms such as passing urine very often can have many causes, including infections, diabetes or prostate problems. These need a proper diagnosis. See a doctor or qualified hakeem first rather than treating them on your own with any product.
Talk to your doctor first if
Speak to a doctor before taking any shilajit product (tablet or resin) if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, if it is for a child, or if you have kidney disease, gout or high uric acid, a heart condition, iron overload (haemochromatosis), or take medicine for diabetes or blood pressure. Our shilajit side effects and precautions page has more detail.
