Does Shilajit Have Side Effects? - #8604
I’ve heard a lot about the benefits of Shilajit for boosting energy, improving stamina, and promoting overall health. However, I’m concerned about the potential side effects of using Shilajit, and I’m hoping to get more information about whether it’s safe for long-term use. Here’s my situation: I’m 40 years old and have been struggling with low energy levels and fatigue for several months. I’ve tried other supplements, but none of them seem to provide the sustained energy boost I’m looking for. A friend recommended Shilajit, saying it’s a powerful adaptogen that can help improve vitality. Before I start using it, I want to understand if there are any potential side effects. I’ve read that Shilajit contains fulvic acid, minerals, and antioxidants, which help with detoxification and energy. Does Shilajit really provide a natural energy boost, and how soon after starting it should I notice improvements in energy levels? Are there any specific dosages that work best for these benefits? One concern I have is whether Shilajit can cause any digestive upset or other side effects. Some people I know have experienced stomach discomfort when starting new supplements. Is this common with Shilajit, and are there any precautions I should take to avoid any digestive issues? I’ve also heard that Shilajit can help with cognitive function and mood. Since I’ve been feeling mentally fatigued, I’m curious if Shilajit can improve focus and mental clarity. Does it work in this way, and how long would it take to feel the cognitive benefits? Lastly, are there any long-term side effects of using Shilajit regularly? I’m interested in using it for its overall health benefits, but I want to make sure it’s safe for daily use over an extended period of time. If anyone here has used Shilajit, I’d love to hear your experiences. Did it help with energy, mental clarity, or overall health? Were there any side effects, and how did you manage them? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on whether Shilajit has any side effects.
