What Are the Shilajit Side Effects on Kidney? - #8990
I’ve been reading about Shilajit’s many health benefits, but I’m also concerned about its safety, especially for kidney health. Can you explain in detail the Shilajit side effects on kidney health and how to avoid any potential risks? I’m considering taking Shilajit but want to be fully informed before starting. One concern I’ve read about is that Shilajit, being a natural mineral resin, may strain the kidneys if taken in excessive amounts. Is this true? What is the recommended dosage to ensure safe consumption and avoid putting extra stress on the kidneys? I’ve also seen conflicting information about whether Shilajit is safe for people with pre-existing kidney issues, such as kidney stones or chronic kidney disease. Could taking Shilajit worsen these conditions? Are there situations where its use is strictly not advised? Another thing I’m worried about is the quality of the product. Some sources mention that low-quality Shilajit can contain heavy metals or contaminants, which might harm the kidneys. How can I ensure I’m buying a pure and authentic product to minimize any risks to kidney health? Lastly, are there any specific signs or symptoms to watch out for that might indicate kidney problems while taking Shilajit? Would you recommend pairing it with increased water intake or dietary changes to reduce the risk of side effects? I’d appreciate your advice on how to use Shilajit safely and effectively.
