Can I use Shilajit during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
While Shilajit is known as a powerful natural remedy for energy and recovery, we advise against its use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. To date, insufficient scientific research has been conducted on the safety of Shilajit for pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers.
Shilajit contains bioactive substances such as fulvic acid and a wide spectrum of minerals, which may also end up in the baby's milk. Because babies are very sensitive to changes in the composition of their food, caution is advised.
In some traditional systems, such as Ayurveda, Shilajit is used postpartum to support recovery, but these applications have not been medically validated for young mothers within Western healthcare standards.
In short: only use Shilajit after consulting a doctor or lactation consultant if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. We take our responsibility seriously and only advise use if there is no risk to mother and child.
