Our story: from four jars to one drink mix

It started at our dining table.

The ingredients work. The format is broken.

Abhishek Mitra

My sister was diagnosed with diabetes at 29. At breakfast she'd open four jars: jamun, methi, ajwain, jeera, each tasting like medicine. By week three, the jars sat untouched.

The ingredients worked. The format defeated her.

Months later, my own bloodwork came back with high LDL. "Statins. For life," said my doctor. I'm 30-something. I built my own stack instead, and hit the same wall: 4-6 products, 4-6 brands, half-finished jars everywhere.

I've been part of the corporate grind for 10+ years. The 3 PM crash and the nights my mind wouldn't switch off were mine too.

So I asked my own world. 500+ reachouts, structured research with working professionals aged 30-45. Same answers, every time: too many stacks. Doses too low to work. "Too much misinformation. Kya believe karu, kya nahi." Nothing for morning and night.

SILT is the product I wished existed, for her, for me, and the hundreds who said the same. Clinical doses, disclosed. Flavours you'll keep. One glass. Sixty seconds.

Why we're called SILT Little by little. That's how good health adds up.

Silt is the fine soil a river leaves behind, one thin layer at a time. A single layer does very little. Hundreds of them are why the Ganga's plains can grow almost anything. We named SILT after it, because health builds the same way: one stick every morning, one every night, day after day.

Before you order Questions, answered.

Why does SILT Nights have no melatonin?

We left it out on purpose. SILT Nights is for everyday sleep quality. It uses magnesium bisglycinate (250 mg magnesium), glycine (3 g) and KSM-66 ashwagandha (300 mg), each at the dose used in published trials, and you can take it every night.

Can I take SILT with medication, or while pregnant?

Every ingredient and dose is printed on the label, and none of it sits inside a blend. If you're on medication, pregnant or nursing, ask your doctor first. Take the pack with you so they can see exactly what's in it.

Is SILT FSSAI compliant and tested?

SILT is made in an FSSAI-licensed facility. Every batch is tested by a NABL-accredited lab we do not own, and the supplier certificate for every ingredient is on our Science page.

Is this a subscription?

No. Buy a box of 15 or 30 when you need one.

How is SILT different from a greens powder or a multivitamin?

The label prints every dose at the level the research used, and there are no proprietary blends. It also comes as a pair: Mornings for gut and energy, Nights for recovery, calm and sleep. The flavours suit the hour too, Lemon Orange to start the day and Chamomile Lemon to wind down.

What if I don't like it?

Check first: every ingredient and dose is on the pack and on our Science page. If a pack arrives damaged or wrong, write to us and we'll replace it.
