How to Consume Shilajit

Shilajit is a mineral-based sticky tar-like substance which is made up of decomposed plant remains, exuded from the rocks present in the Himalayas at an altitude of 1000 to 5000 meters above sea level. It contains more than 85 minerals including zinc, iron, lead, and copper.

Shilajit is a popular raw material used in Ayurvedic medicine. It is a safe and effective supplement that can have a good effect on your overall health. It acts as an antioxidant to improve your body’s immunity and memory; and fights inflammation. Shilajit is a diuretic and removes excess fluid from body.

The therapeutic uses of shilajit are in fighting fatigue, Alzheimer’s disease, respiratory tract infection, cancer, heavy metal toxicity, hypoxia, etc.

How Much and How Long

Shilajit is a powerful energy supplement and prolonged regular consumption can lead to dependency. So, ideally, it must be taken in cycles. Otherwise, the use of supplements regularly makes body tolerant to it and the person may become dependent on using it.

But apart from that, it is also advisable to remain aware of the quantities and form of shilajit being consumed.

Based on froms available in market, the ideal consumption for a healthy adult is:

Liquid Shilajit	one drop or 75ml
Resin or raw Shilajit	1 Rice grain-sized or 100 gm
Liquid, Resin or Raw Shilajit:	1/16 teaspoon or 0.2ml
Powder Shilajit	1/16 teaspoon or 150mg
Shilajit Capsule	1 capsule twice a day or directed by a medical practitioner
Shilajit Tablet	1 tablet twice a day or directed by a medical practitioner

How to use Shilajit?

Shilajit Powder	Take 2 to 4 pinches of Shilajit powder, and mix it with honey or lukewarm milk.
Shilajit Capsule	Take 1 Shilajit capsule and swallow it with lukewarm milk.
Shilajit Tablet	Take 1 tablet with lukewarm milk after food, twice a day
Shilajit Black Tea	Put 1.5 cups of water in a bowl, add ½ teaspoon of tea and bring it to boil for 5 minutes. Next, strain it and add 2 pinch of Shilajit powder.

Starting Shilajit

The daily suggested intake for adults with normal body mass index (BMI) is 250 to 500mg. The resins, considered the purest form, are more effective with doses even as low as 50 to 200mg.

To find the maximum Shilajit dosage, begin by taking a piece of 100mg once per day. And continue to take the same amount 2-3 times per day. Then gradually increase the in-take dosage of 300 mg to achieve the desired benefits.

But these usually work better for underweight people.

The following factors will affect how much Shilajit you should take per day:

Body size
Body mass index (BMI)
General health
Metabolism
Food and another lifestyle

Remember, it is a new experience for your body; if you consume at higher amounts, it does produce shilajit side effects. You may encounter undesired effects such as difficulty in sleep or uncomfortable digestion process. These are generally temporary symptoms but also an indicator that you need to step down the Shilajit dosage for a few more days, and then try to increase again.

And this is valid only in case you are purchasing pure shilajit from a reputable manufacturer.

At Puri Brothers, we take care of our product buyers and give them the purest form of products. Our natural Shilajit is certified by NABL (National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories) and FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) for the highest quantities of mineral concentration with ORAC values.

The best advice is to consult the doctor before consuming it.

Shilajit for Adults

Puri Brothers provide you with the two different forms of Shilajit:

● Raw Asphaltum: This is the raw form of asphaltum rock or shilajit stone which is

sourced directly from the higher reaches of the Himalayas and Karakoram ranges.

Currently, Puri Brothers is supplying raw asphaltum to many authentic ayurvedic pharmacies across India for use as a superior quality raw material- for we strongly believe that the product is a direct result of the quality of raw materials!

● Resin form: This is known to be the purest of all processed forms as it is directly extracted from raw shilajit through our special procedures which ensure high fulvic acid content

while retaining the minerals. Best considered for use as a nutraceutical.

Shilajit for Children

The suggested dosage of shilajit resin for children should be limited between 50mg to 100mg. And the best time to take it is in the morning with an empty stomach. Shilajit is a natural product and can taste very bland and earthy to children. Children prefer to take shilajit with milk or in a chocolate drink or smoothie!!

Daily Dose of Shilajit

If Shilajit is something you are introducing in your life because a doctor prescribed it, it is best to go by the dosages your doctor has suggested.

But some general guidelines for using Shilajit for a healthy adult have been discussed at length in Ayurveda. Here are some general dose guidelines to get the maximum benefits from shilajit resin :

Take your first dose in the morning with an empty stomach.
If you prefer to take another dose in the evening, do it after taking some food.
Scoop out the asphaltum of Puri Brothers. Then, mix it in coffee, tea, milk, or any other liquid of your choice.
The traditional way of taking shilajit is plain and unmixed. Just place it under the tongue and wait until it dissolves in your mouth. Although, Ayurvedic doctors suggest taking Shilajit with one or a combination of the following organic ingredients to increase the delivery of adaptogenic effects to the body:

Hot milk
Ghee
Raw or unpasteurized honey
Sesame oil

And it is better to ensure you do not use the chlorinated water from your kitchen tap!
