How to Use Shilajit: Dosage, Timing and Best Practices

You've got your jar of resin — now what? Using Shilajit well is simple once you know the basics. Here's a clear routine.

How much should you take?

A typical serving of Shilajit resin is a pea-sized to rice-grain-sized portion once daily. If you're new, start at the lower end for the first week, and never go above the serving on the label.

The best way to take resin

1. Scoop a small portion with the spoon provided (or a clean utensil).
2. Dissolve it in a cup of warm — not boiling — water or milk. Warm liquid dissolves the resin easily, so there is no need for boiling water.
3. Stir until fully dissolved and drink. Add a spoon of raw honey if you'd like it sweeter.

When to take it

Most people take Shilajit in the morning, often with breakfast or their first cup of chai. Pick a time that suits you and keep to it, so it becomes part of your routine.

How long does a jar last?

Shilajit is traditionally taken a little at a time, every day, rather than in large amounts. Taken once daily in a small rice-grain portion, a single jar of resin lasts roughly two to three months. Start with our Shilajit resin, or try Shilajit drops if you would rather not measure resin.

Tips & cautions

• Use a dry spoon — moisture can affect the resin over time.
• Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
• Stick to the recommended serving; more is not better.
• Pregnant, nursing, or on medication? Check with your doctor first.
