Shilajit Dosage for Adults

Namaste dai bahini... I grew up in Namche Bazaar, where elders always taught us to respect shilajit, not to overuse it. Now here in Australia, many people ask me: how much shilajit should adults take? I want to explain simple and true, so you know the safe dosage and how to use it properly.

Recommended Shilajit Dosage for Adults

Traditionally in Nepal, we say shilajit is strong medicine from the mountain. You do not need much. In modern terms, the safe dosage is usually:

• 300 mg to 500 mg per day (about a pea-sized amount of resin)
• Start with small dose first, see how your body feels
• Do not exceed 1 gram per day unless advised by health professional

In Australia, most health guidelines follow the same range. Less is better than too much, because shilajit works slowly but powerfully.

How to Take Shilajit Resin

Back home in Nepal, we mix resin in warm water, milk, or herbal tea. Here in Australia, you can do the same. The important part is to dissolve it fully and take it on empty stomach if possible.

Simple steps:

• Take small pea-sized resin on spoon (300–500 mg)
• Stir into warm water, milk, or tea until dissolved
• Drink once daily, morning is best

Why Small Dosage Works Best

Shilajit is not like coffee or energy drink. It is adaptogen, meaning it balances your system slowly. With daily use, even small dosage builds effect over weeks. In Nepal, my grandfather always said, “Slow fire cooks sweet rice.” Same with shilajit... little by little gives best result.

Who Should Be Careful with Dosage

Even though shilajit is natural, adults with certain conditions must be careful:

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid unless doctor agrees
• People with gout, kidney stones, or high iron should consult doctor first
• If you feel nausea or discomfort, lower dosage or stop
