Finding Your Body’s Ideal Shilajit Dosage
Calibrating your body’s ideal dosage begins with a piece of shilajit about the size of a grain of rice. Approximately 100 mg, take this once per day and begin recording the effects on your body and mind in your journal. After a few days, take the rice grain-sized amount 2-3 times per day. After this phase, gradually increase the amount of each dose to the size of a large pea (about 300 mg). Keep increasing until you begin to achieve noticeabledesired benefits.
At this time, don’t overly analyze the exactness of your portions for each dosage. Just focus on applying the same shape (grain- or pea-shaped) to achieve some degree of consistency. Eventually, by listening to your body and observing the results, you’ll know how much to take throughout the day without much effort.
Also, be advised that you may experience some side effects, such as restless sleeping or digestive discomfort. These undesired effects are usually temporary and indicate that you should scale down your dosage for a few days to reset your body, before attempting to increase again. Give your body the time to gradually adjust and shilajit will naturally begin to support your body’s systems. If, for any reason, you experience symptomsthat produce more than mild discomfort, speak with a healthcare professional.
