When should I take Shilajit?Updated 2 months ago

You may take Shilajit early in the morning, as well as during the day. However, some people may feel energetic when taking it at night or before going to bed. We recommend taking it in between meals; however, you can combine it with a smoothie or liquid beverage. If you are doing sports or exercise, then the best time to take Shilajit is during or after the workout to help the body recover.

The traditional and the most effective way of taking Shilajit is plain and unmixed. Just place it under the tongue. It should provide you with an immediate burst of wellness, enhanced cognitive function, and a better mood.

In addition, you may combine it with any beverage of choice or add it into your daily water. What could be a better beginning to the day than a cup of tea/coffee enriched with the pleasure of Shilajit? You can also add it to your smoothie to make the most out of the experience, as all those raw nutrients would be absorbed better!

WHAT TO AVOID WHEN TAKING SHILAJIT

1. Prescription Medications

While Shilajit may be taken together with vitamins or other herbal supplements, you should avoid using it with prescription drugs as it may enhance its effect. Please keep a 1-2 hour gap between prescription medication and Shilajit.

2. Chlorinated Water

Tap water is most likely chlorinated. Chlorine is a chemical that appears to react with other molecules quickly. It can form some toxic substances when mixed with shilajit or other organic supplements. Therefore, instead of using tap water, it is advised that you utilize spring, reverse osmosis or active charcoal carbon-filtered water.

3. Heat

We go to great lengths to preserve the natural minerals in our Shilajit. If you boil or cook it, it will lose some of the essential properties present in raw form. We advise you not to expose it to continuous heat above 165F. You can put it in a hot tea right before consumption but do not brew, boil, or microwave it.

4. Alcohol

Taking it together with alcohol may produce an unusual effect. It may work like an energy drink that wakes you up. Other times, it may increase the level of alcohol intoxication (being drunk). It can help support the detox process if you experience a hangover the day after.
