Shilajit Ke Side Effect - #9087

Anonymously

Shilajit Ke Side Effect A few months ago, I decided to try shilajit after hearing about its amazing health benefits. I’ve been feeling really tired and low on energy due to work stress, and someone recommended shilajit as a natural remedy to boost energy, improve stamina, and enhance overall health. I bought it from a trusted Ayurvedic store and started using it. Initially, everything seemed fine, but after a week, I started noticing some issues. The first problem was stomach discomfort, which later turned into occasional constipation. One day, I even felt dizzy enough to leave work early. Along with this, I’ve been experiencing mild headaches and a sense of restlessness. I did some online research and found that shilajit can have side effects if it’s not pure or if the body doesn’t react well to it. But I couldn’t find a definitive answer to my problem. I’m really confused now. Should I continue taking shilajit, or should I stop immediately? Are shilajit ke side effect common for everyone, or does it depend on individual health conditions? Another concern is whether shilajit can contain harmful substances like heavy metals if not properly processed. How can I check the purity of the product I’m using? Should I get it tested in a lab? Additionally, I’ve started feeling mild chest burning and general fatigue, which is the opposite of what I expected from shilajit. Are these symptoms temporary, or could they indicate something serious? Is it possible that I’m taking the wrong dosage, or could there be an issue with how I’m consuming it? I’ve heard shilajit works wonders for some people, so I’m wondering if I should try an alternative Ayurvedic product instead. Doctor, I need your advice to understand if these are genuine shilajit ke side effect or if there’s another underlying problem. Could you also suggest safer alternatives or precautions I should take if I continue using it?

Shilajit is a potent Ayurvedic supplement, but side effects can occur, especially if it’s impure or consumed incorrectly. Here's a quick breakdown: Possible Side Effects of Shilajit Stomach Discomfort/Constipation: High doses or impure shilajit may irritate the digestive system. Dizziness and Headaches: These may result from overuse or sensitivity to its compounds. Chest Burning/Fatigue: Could indicate acidity or an adverse reaction. Purity Concerns Impure shilajit may contain heavy metals or toxins. Choose a lab-tested, certified brand to ensure purity. Dosage and Usage Stick to recommended doses (250–500 mg daily). Consume with warm milk or water, not on an empty stomach. What to Do Stop immediately if side effects persist. Consult a doctor to rule out other underlying conditions. Alternatives Try milder Ayurvedic options like Ashwagandha or Brahmi for energy and stress relief. Precautions Avoid shilajit if you have allergies, kidney issues, or acidity problems. Always verify the product's source and consult an Ayurvedic expert before use. Discontinue if symptoms worsen and seek professional guidance.
