Shilajit Uses: Dosage and Applications

How do you take Shilajit?

Shilajit is powerful stuff. Proper intake is crucial to get the most out of it. The most effective form is Shilajit resin, like Everest Bro's - pure, potent, and no additives.

How do you use Shilajit resin?

1️⃣ Dosage : Take a rice to pea sized amount (200–500 mg). 2️⃣ Dissolve : Mix with warm water, tea, milk or juice. 3️⃣ Stir & Drink : Stir until completely dissolved. Drink immediately. 4️⃣ Timing : Take in the morning on an empty stomach or before a workout. 💡 Tip: Avoid combining with coffee. Caffeine inhibits the absorption of fulvic acid.

Dosage per target group

Target audience Recommended Dosage
General health & energy 250–300 mg per day
Athletes & muscle building 300–500 mg per day
Men (testosterone boost) 400–500 mg per day

Elderly (memory & bone health) 200–300 mg per day
Brain & focus (nootropic effect) 250–400 mg per day

⚠️ Maximum recommended dosage: 500 mg per day, unless otherwise advised by a specialist.

How long should you use Shilajit?

Consistency = key. Most users experience results within a few weeks.

  • 🔹 Short term (energy boost): 30–60 minutes

  • 🔹 Mid-term (hormones, focus): 4–6 weeks

  • 🔹 Long term (recovery, immunity, anti-aging): 2–3 months continuously

💡 Recommendation: Use Shilajit for 2 months, then take a 1 month break.

Combinations: what works well (and what doesn't)

Can be combined with:

  • Ashwagandha – For muscle building, stress and testosterone

  • Rhodiola Rosea – For mental focus and energy

  • Tongkat Ali – For libido and hormonal support

  • Magnesium & Zinc – For mineral balance and muscle recovery

🚫 Do not combine with:

  • Caffeine – Interferes with fulvic acid absorption

  • Alcohol – Interferes with the detox effect of Shilajit
