How To Use Shilajit 3
Important Notice: While Shilajit can offer numerous health benefits, it is advised that pregnant women and individuals with high blood pressure consult a healthcare professional before use.
Determine the Right Dosage
- Standard Dosage: Start with a small dose of 300-500 mg per day (pea size amount on tip of the spoon). Once your body adjusts, you may gradually increase the dosage if needed, but never exceed 1 gram per day.
- Consistency: For optimal results, take Shilajit daily. Regular use over several weeks or months allows the body to absorb and benefit from the minerals effectively.
Choose the Right Form
- Resin: The purest form of Shilajit. Dissolve a pea-sized amount (300-500 mg) in warm water, tea, or milk. Stir until it’s fully dissolved, then consume.
Best Time to Take Shilajit
- Morning: Shilajit is often best taken on an empty stomach in the morning. This can enhance energy levels and mental clarity throughout the day.
- With Meals: Alternatively, you may take it with meals, especially if you’re prone to digestive sensitivity.
- Avoid Late Evening: Due to its energizing effects, avoid taking Shilajit late in the evening to prevent interference with your sleep.
Combining Shilajit with Other Ingredients
- Warm Water or Milk: Mixing Shilajit with warm water or milk helps absorption and makes it easier on the digestive system.
- Herbal Teas: Combine with herbal teas, such as ginger or tulsi, for added health benefits and improved taste.
- Smoothies and Juices: For an on-the-go option, add Shilajit resin to smoothies or juices.
Storage and Handling
- Keep It Sealed: Store Shilajit in a tightly sealed container to maintain its potency.
- Room Temperature: Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Avoid Contamination: Always use clean, dry utensils when measuring Shilajit, especially if it’s in resin form.
Additional Tips
- Listen to Your Body: Start with a small dose and gradually increase, paying attention to how your body responds.
- Hydrate: Shilajit has a detoxifying effect, so drinking plenty of water helps flush out toxins.
