Why 90% of People use Shilajit wrong, and how to fix it ?

Shilajit has taken the wellness world by storm from gym enthusiasts to busy professionals, everyone raves about its energy, immunity boosting and rejuvenating properties. Yet, despite its soaring popularity, 90% of people use Shilajit wrongly. Yes, you read right and due to which they’re missing out on its full potential. In this article, we will uncover the top mistakes, reveal the ayurveda & science backed correct usage, and share powerful hacks to supercharge your daily routine.

Mistake #1: Taking the wrong dosage

Many of us either take too little Shilajit (getting no noticeable effect) or too much (risking digestive discomfort). The ideal daily dose depends on your body weight, health goals, and the resin’s fulvic acid concentration (aim for >75% fulvic acid). To know more about Fulvic Acid, read article “What is Fulvic acid? And why you should care if’s >75%"

Correct dosage: 250 -300mg twice or 500mg once daily (approx. a pea sized pinch of resin). always start low and adjust gradually.

 Common dosage mistakes & fixes

Common Mistake	Why It Hurts You	How to Fix It
Taking >1 gram at once	Digestive upset, nausea	Split into two 250-300 mg doses (morning & evening)
Measuring by volume, not weight	Inconsistent doses	Use a digital scale or Shilajit spoon measure
Ignoring fulvic acid concentration	Low potency means poor results	Choose lab tested resin >75% fulvic acid

Mistake #2: Wrong timing of intake

Timing influences Shilajit’s effectiveness for energy, recovery, and sleep. Taking it at the wrong time can blunt its benefits.

Morning (Breakfast)	Pre-Workout (30 mins)	Evening (Post Dinner)
Ideal for energy & mental focus	Maximizes strength & endurance	Aids recovery and supports sleep quality

 

Hack: For sustained energy, split your total daily dose: half before breakfast and half before dinner.

 Mistake #3: Mixing with hot drinks

High heat can degrade Shilajit’s active compounds. While mixing into coffee or tea is common, boiling water (>80°C) reduces fulvic acid potency by up to 30%.

Fix: Dissolve Shilajit in lukewarm water or milk (40–50°C) or mix into smoothies, yogurt, or    almond milk

 Mistake #4: Ignoring Quality & Purity

Fake or low-quality Shilajit can contain heavy metals, toxins, or fillers. Always check for:

Lab Reports	Third-party testing (e.g., Eurofins) for heavy metals & fulvic acid
Source	Himalayan vs. other regions (Himalayan resin tends to be richer)
Additives	Pure resin vs. blends with fillers

 

Pro Tip: Look for “Ayurvedic purified” on the label and certificates of analysis.

How to Fix It: Your Ultimate Shilajit Routine

Choose Quality Resin:	>75% fulvic acid, third party lab-tested
Measure precisely	250–500 mg using a scale, mentioned on spoon
Optimal timing	Split dose between morning & evening
