Hi Benjamin, its great that you are doing research before trying supplementals like Ashwagandha and Shilajit. both are powerful in their own right and can be safely combined, especially for supporting stress management , stamina and energy Ashwagandha known for their adaptogen and calming properties. helps reduce cortisol, manage stress , improve quality of sleep and mood enhancing Shilajit- A mineral rich resin that enhances energy production, physical strength, mental clarity, and vitality. they work Synergistically- Ashwagandha helps calm the nervous system, while shilajit supports cellular energy. I will recommend you to take this both in natural form;- ASHWAGANDHA POWDER- 1/2tso with warm milk or almond milk with a pinch of nutmeg powder at bedtime daily you can also add bit of ghee for better absorption Shilajit Resin - A pea sized amount (250-300mg) - strictly not more than that and IMPORTANTLY USE PURE ONE - with warm water or milk drink in. morning empty. stomach Avoid combining both in same dose duration- use for 6-8 weeks then take a break of 2-4 weeks always start low and go slow mild side effects can be noticed like digestive upset, headache etc Avoid this if you have High iron level - as shilajit is rich in iron Overactive thyroid- ashwagandha stimulate thyroid function Gout, kidney stones or hemochrombtosis stay hydrated practice yoga or meditation- 20-30 minutes daily diet should be healthy thank you Dr. Maitri Acharya
