Can shilajit be effective for managing menopause symptoms? - #21955
I am struggling with menopause and it's been a real rollercoaster, you know? Like, one minute I feel fine and the next I am hot-flashing out of control! So, I’ve heard about shilajit for menopause but I'm kinda skeptical. I mean, how does something like shilajit actually work? I did some reading, and apparently, it's loaded with minerals and other goodies? But I'm not sure if that's really enough to help with those pesky symptoms like mood swings and weight gain. Last week, I had this really bad day. My night sweats got so intense, I couldn’t sleep! Just when I thought I could take a break from my girls night out, boom, there’s another hot flash! My friends mentioned trying shilajit for menopause, saying it could even boost energy. Ugh, wouldn’t that be amazing? I totally need some extra pep in my step these days. But I’m also worried about side effects — does anyone have experiences with shilajit? Did it help with periods of energy loss or somehow balance things out? I was thinking, isn't shilajit a natural remedy? So maybe it could help without all those chemical side effects you often read about? But, for reals, is it a good idea to take it long-term? Like, I feel like this menopause journey is going to be a while. If shilajit for menopause actually works, I want to know more! Are there certain dosages recommended or specific times to take it? Also, how do I know if I’m getting a good quality shilajit? A friend told me there are fake ones out there! 😩 I guess what I'm really looking for are personal stories and real advice. Thanks, everyone!
