How Should I Consume Shilajit? - #9404
I recently bought Shilajit resin because I’ve been reading a lot about its amazing health benefits. From boosting energy and stamina to improving overall health, it seems like a great addition to my daily routine. However, I’m completely new to this, and I have no idea how to consume Shilajit properly. The instructions on the jar are really vague. It says to dissolve a small amount in water or milk, but it doesn’t specify how much is too much or too little. Should I be using a tiny pea-sized amount, or is there a standard measurement I should follow? I’m worried that if I take too much, I might experience side effects. On the other hand, if I take too little, I might not see any results. Another thing I’m unsure about is the best liquid to use for dissolving Shilajit. Is warm water the best option, or would warm milk enhance its effects? I’ve also heard some people mix it with honey for a better taste, but I don’t know if that’s the right way to consume it. Does the type of liquid affect how well it works? Timing is another issue I’m struggling with. Should I take Shilajit in the morning on an empty stomach, or is it better to have it after meals? Some articles I’ve read suggest taking it early in the day to boost energy, while others say it works well at night for recovery and better sleep. What’s the best time to consume Shilajit, and does the timing depend on the benefits I’m looking for? I’ve also read that Shilajit can cause side effects like stomach discomfort or dizziness if not taken properly. How can I avoid these issues? Should I start with a smaller dose to see how my body reacts before increasing it to the recommended amount? Additionally, I want to know if Shilajit interacts with other supplements. I usually take a multivitamin in the morning and omega-3 capsules in the evening. Is it safe to take Shilajit alongside these, or should I space out the timing? For context, I’m in my early 30s, and my main goal is to boost my energy levels and immunity. I’ve been feeling sluggish and tired lately, and I’m hoping Shilajit can help. How long does it usually take to notice results after starting Shilajit? Do I need to take it consistently every day, or should I take breaks in between? If anyone has experience using Shilajit, I’d love to hear your advice. How do you consume it, and what’s worked best for you? Have you noticed any specific benefits, and are there any common mistakes I should avoid? Any tips or recommendations would be really helpful!
