Shilajit Dosage Guide — How Much to Take & Best Time to Use
Share
Introduction
If you’ve just started using Shilajit, the most common question is: “How much should I take, and when is the best time?” Since Shilajit is a natural resin and not a synthetic pill, the dosage works differently. The key is consistency and correct measurement — not megadoses.
This guide explains the right dosage, timing, and usage tips for HimFirst Himalayan Shilajit.
Recommended Shilajit Dosage
1. Resin form (HimFirst) → Start with 250–300 mg (about a pea-sized portion).
2. Frequency → Once daily, after breakfast.
3. Gradual increase → After 2–3 weeks, some increase to 500 mg daily depending on goals.
💡 More is not always better — a small daily dose is more effective than irregular high doses.
Best Time to Take Shilajit
1. Morning:
✔ Steady energy boost
✔ Improves focus & productivity
2. Pre-workout (30 mins before):
✔ Supports stamina & recovery
3. Evening:
✔ Can aid recovery, but avoid late-night use if you’re sensitive to energy boosts.
How to Take It (Step by Step)
1. Scoop a pea-sized resin (≈250 mg).
2. Dissolve in warm water, milk, or green tea.
3. Stir until fully dissolved.
4. Drink immediately.
⚠️ Do not boil Shilajit directly — high heat may reduce potency.
Who Should Adjust Dosage
1. Beginners → 250 mg daily
2. Athletes → up to 500 mg daily for stamina & recovery
3. Older adults → start with smaller doses (150–200 mg) and increase slowly
Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Taking random chunks without measuring
❌ Skipping days — consistency is key
❌ Using raw/unpurified Shilajit (risk of heavy metals)
❌ Overdosing — more does not equal faster results
