–Before taking it regularly: If it’s raw or resin, ensure it’s purified (shuddh) Impure shilajit can contain heavy metals or contaminants If unsure, limit intake or get it tested – so start it with very low dose – begin with 100 mg once daily empty stomach -After 1–2 weeks: If no discomfort → increase to 200–300 mg/day –Avoid taking it late evening (can be stimulating) -------Since you already have frequent indigestion, pay attention to: Burning sensation Loose motions Stomach heaviness –If any of these happen: Stop immediately or reduce dose Try taking it after a light meal instead of empty stomach if u feel such symptoms
Dose (starting): Pinch size (about 100–150 mg, like a small grain of rice) How to take: Dissolve in lukewarm water (your preferred method is good) Stir well until fully dissolved When to take: Morning, empty stomach Wait at least 30–45 minutes before food Frequency: Start with once daily for 7 days After 1 week (if no discomfort) Increase slightly to 200–250 mg daily Still once daily only (no need to rush to twice daily in your case) If you feel: burning sensation heaviness worsening indigestion Stop immediately or reduce dose With medications Always keep 2–3 hour gap from your regular medicines Especially important if: you take BP meds diabetes meds kidney-related meds
