How to Use Shilajit: Dosage, Timing and Best Practices
How much Shilajit should you take, when, and with what? A simple, no-nonsense dosage and routine guide for resin.
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 (roughly 300–500 mg) once daily. If you're new, start at the lower end for the first week and increase gradually as your body adapts.
The best way to take resin
- Scoop a small portion with the spoon provided (or a clean utensil).
- Dissolve it in a cup of warm — not boiling — water or milk. Boiling water can damage delicate compounds.
- 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 for steady, all-day energy. If you're sensitive to anything stimulating, take it earlier rather than late at night.
How long until you notice anything?
Shilajit is a daily, cumulative supplement, not a quick fix. Give it a consistent 4–6 weeks. Quality matters: a higher fulvic-acid resin like our gold-grade resin is more concentrated, so a little goes further.
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.
