How Much Shilajit Should Be Taken Per Day for Maximum Benefits? - #10178
I’ve recently started taking shilajit as a natural supplement for boosting energy and improving overall health. However, I’m unsure about the ideal dosage. How much shilajit should be taken per day to achieve its benefits without risking any side effects? From what I’ve read, shilajit is highly potent and only requires small amounts to be effective. Some sources suggest taking 300–500 mg of purified shilajit daily, but does this vary depending on individual health needs or conditions like fatigue, stress, or immunity? Should the dosage be adjusted for beginners, or is there a standard amount that works for everyone? Another question I have is about the form of shilajit. Does the dosage differ when taking it as a resin compared to capsules or powders? For instance, is a pea-sized amount of resin equivalent to the recommended daily dose of shilajit in other forms? I’m also curious if the timing of consumption affects the dosage. Should a smaller amount be taken in the morning to boost energy, or is a larger dose more beneficial at night for recovery and relaxation? If anyone has experience with using shilajit, I’d love to know what dosage worked best for you. How long did it take to notice improvements, and are there any signs of overuse to watch out for, like digestive discomfort or headaches?
