About the Resin

Shilajit —
Asphaltum punjabianum

A nutrient-rich, tar-like mineral resin that oozes from cracks in high-altitude Himalayan rocks during summer. Shilajit carries over eighty trace minerals, with fulvic acid (60–80%) as its principal active. Raw resin is impure — it is traditionally purified with herbal decoctions of Triphala, filtered and dried until safe for daily use.

Dosage & Usage

Take it correctly. Take it consistently.

Purified Shilajit is safe at the right dose. Poorly sourced or unpurified resin can carry heavy metals and is harmful — quality and provenance matter most.

FormsResin · Capsule · Tablet · Powder
Dose250 – 500 mg per day
When & HowMornings, with warm milk or water
DurationConsistently for 8 – 12 weeks for visible results

Possible Side Effects

Purified Shilajit at the recommended dose is well tolerated. Unpurified resin may contain heavy metals — always source from a trusted Ayurvedic pharmacy.

Who Should Avoid

Pregnant or breastfeeding women, and people with hereditary hemochromatosis, thalassemia or sickle cell anaemia.

Diet & Lifestyle

Small habits that make Shilajit work harder.

As a bioavailable carrier of minerals, Shilajit responds beautifully to a balanced diet and steady routine. A few simple practices help the resin do its work.

Take in the morning

With warm water or milk for maximum absorption.

Pair with ghee & honey

Both act as carriers, helping Shilajit reach deeper tissues.

Avoid stimulants nearby

Skip tea or coffee 1–2 hours before and after a dose.

Move regularly

Exercise lets antioxidants work better and boosts stamina.

Meditate & breathe

Pranayama complements Shilajit's adaptogenic action.

Sleep 7–8 hours

Rest deepens its anti-inflammatory and repair effects.

Avoid alcohol & smoking

Both counteract its detoxifying properties.

Be consistent

Same time daily, for at least 8–12 weeks.

“Shilajit is more than a supplement. Add a single drop to your health journey for renewed energy and strength — but remember, purity and quality matter most.”
