    Shilajit Dosage Guide – How Much to Take and When

    Getting the right shilajit dosage is essential for safety, effectiveness, and long-term results.
    Taking too little may not give noticeable benefits, while taking too much can be wasteful — or even uncomfortable.

    This guide explains how to measure, use, and optimise your shilajit dosage based on UK guidelines and lab-tested products.
    If you’re still choosing the best brand to buy, start with our Best Shilajit UK guide.

    Quick Dosage Overview

    Form Starting Dose Typical Daily Range Notes
    Resin 200mg (pea-sized) 200–500mg Most potent form. Dissolve in warm water or milk.
    Powder 500mg 500–1000mg Less concentrated, lower absorption rate.
    Capsules 250mg per capsule 250–500mg Check label carefully; may contain fillers.

    Resin is the gold standard due to its high potency and lower required dosage.

    Why Dosage Matters

    Shilajit works best when taken consistently in safe, measured amounts.
    Unlike synthetic supplements, it’s a natural plant-mineral resin, so your body gradually absorbs and utilises its active compounds like fulvic acid and trace minerals.

    • Too little: No significant effect.

    • Too much: Possible stomach discomfort or wasted product.

    • Right amount: Steady improvement in energy, recovery, focus, and overall wellness.

    How to Measure Resin Properly

    The most accurate way to measure resin is:

    1. Use a clean metal spoon or scoop.

    2. Start with pea-sized amount (~200mg).

    3. Gradually increase to no more than 500mg per day after two weeks.

    4. Dissolve in warm water, tea, or milk — never boil.

    For fake or adulterated products, dosage information may be misleading.

    Dosage Frequency

    Goal Frequency Recommendation
    General wellness Once daily in the morning
    Energy & stamina Once in the morning, optional second dose mid-afternoon
    Workout recovery 30 minutes after exercise
    Cognitive support Morning only

    Always listen to your body and adjust gradually.
    For maximum effectiveness, take with warm liquids on an empty stomach.

    Who Should Start With a Lower Dose

    Certain groups should start at half-dose and only increase under guidance:

    • First-time users of shilajit

    • Those sensitive to natural supplements

    • Individuals on prescription medications (consult your GP)

    • Pregnant or breastfeeding women (seek medical advice)

    For tailored guidance on usage by group, check out our Shilajit for Women guide.

    Storing Your Shilajit

    Proper storage helps maintain potency:

    • Keep resin in its original glass jar.

    • Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.

    • Always reseal tightly after use.

    • Do not refrigerate — moisture can damage the resin.

    Final Recommendations

    • Start low at 200mg per day, then gradually increase to a maximum of 500mg.

    • Use consistently for 4–6 weeks to feel full effects.

    • Only buy lab-tested shilajit resin from trusted sources.
