Ah, shilajit! A classic in the Ayurvedic cabinet. Sounds like you’re really diving into its benefits, which is great to hear. I’ll give you some pointers to help you get the most out of it.
Alright, for starters on the timing thing: Shilajit is best taken in the morning, if it’s primarily for energy and stamina boost. An empty stomach isn’t a strict requirement, but it can definitely aid absorption, so you might wanna try it that way. Though, it’s cool if your tummy prefers a little buffer food — just keep it light, like fruit.
On to dosage: many folks find 300-500 mg per day (that’s usually one or two capsules) suitable but these can vary based on the product and individual needs. Check yours for specifics. Regular intake is usually safe, but like anything, give your body some rest, like a break every month or so, that prevents any over-dependence or tolerance. Watch how your body reacts and be flexible with it.
Regarding safety, shilajit is generally safe though overuse might hit your digestion a bit, or induce mild dizziness. With conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes, you should definitely have a chat with your healthcare provider. It’s one of those “better safe than sorry” scenarios. Monitoring regular blood sugar levels and pressure, while starting shilajit, could be wise.
Results can be felt as early as a couple of weeks, but remember, each body’s its own universe. Some folks report better stamina and less fatigue, while others notice enhanced mental clarity. Pair it with a balanced diet — think fresh veggies, nuts, seeds — and Ayurveda suggests keeping your agni, or digestive fire, strong, by chewing ginger or sipping warm water regularly.
As always, listen to your body and enjoy the process. Everyone’s experience can be as unique as our fingerprints, so some trial and slightly-error won’t harm. Keep it chill, and yep, report back on your findings.
