What Are The Shilajit Side Effects? - #8644
I’ve been considering trying shilajit as a natural supplement after hearing about its numerous health benefits. However, before I start using it, I want to understand shilajit side effects to ensure it’s safe for me. One of the main reasons I’m hesitant is that I’ve read about potential digestive issues like stomach upset or nausea. Are these common shilajit side effects, and how can I avoid them? Does taking it with food or water help reduce these risks? I’ve also seen warnings about heavy metal contamination in some shilajit products. How do I ensure the shilajit I purchase is pure and free from harmful substances? Are there specific brands or certifications I should look for? Another concern is whether shilajit interacts with medications. I take supplements for joint pain and occasional antihistamines for allergies. Could shilajit interfere with these, and are there other medications that should not be combined with it? Lastly, I’ve read that some people experience increased body heat or dehydration as part of shilajit side effects. Should I limit my intake during hot weather, and how much water should I drink while using it to stay hydrated? If anyone has experienced shilajit side effects, I’d appreciate hearing about how you managed them. Did you find the benefits outweighed the risks, or did you decide to stop using it?
