Can shilajit affect the results of drug tests and how serious is this issue? - #22353
I am a bit worried and need some clarity on this whole shilajit thing. So, I’ve been using shilajit for the last few weeks, thinking it might boost my energy and overall health, you know? I've actually read that it can be really helpful for stamina and recovery, but now I’m freaking out a lil bit! One of my friends mentioned something about drug testing at work, and I honestly didn't think about that before. Does shilajit show up on a drug test?! Like, is it possible it could cause a positive result? I'm just hoping I don’t lose my job over something I thought was natural and health-giving. I've heard mixed stuff from folks online. One says yes, shilajit would definitely show up, while others are like nah, it's all good. I mean, I don’t wanna be paranoid but like, what am I even supposed to do? I have this essential test coming up for employment in two weeks, and I don’t wanna take any unnecessary risks. Have anyone of y’all experienced this, or do y’all know someone who did? Would detox or stop taking it help, or am I legit worried about nothing? I just feel like I should’ve considered this earlier before diving into shilajit. What’s the truth??
