How much shilajit per day?
Most guidance and the human studies on purified shilajit used 250–500 mg a day. In one well-known study, healthy men took 250 mg twice daily for 90 days. More is not better — stick to a pea-sized amount unless your doctor says otherwise.
| Jar size | Approx. servings | Lasts (1 serving/day) |
|---|---|---|
| 10 g | 20–33 | 3–4 weeks |
| 20 g | 40–66 | 6–9 weeks |
| 30 g | 60–100 | 2–3 months |
| 70 g (60 + 10 free) | 140–230 | 4–7 months |
With milk, water or honey?
All work. Warm water is the simplest and lets the resin dissolve fastest. Warm milk is the traditional choice in Pakistan and softens the bitter taste. A little honey can also help with taste.
Who should not take shilajit
- ◆Pregnant or breastfeeding women
- ◆Children and teenagers under 18
- ◆People with gout, high uric acid or iron overload (haemochromatosis)
- ◆Anyone on diabetes, blood pressure or blood-thinning medicines — ask your doctor first
