SHILAJIT //

______________________________
This plant resin is to be taken orally // Finding Your Shilajit Dosage
Begin by taking a piece about the size of a grain of rice placed under tongue to be absorbed straight into your bloodstream, once per day. In a few days, take the same amount 2-3 times per day. Then gradually increase the amount of shilajit taken with each dose up to a large pea size until you achieve the desired benefits. Do not be greatly concerned with getting the portions exactly right or exactly the same each time you take it. Use the same shape (elliptical like rice or round like a pea) each time to ensure that you have relative consistent dosages. By following these recommendations, you will find how much shilajit you should take. To maximize absorption, the best time to take your dosage of shilajit is on an empty stomach in the morning. If you find that shilajit produces immense energy then don’t take it in the evening as it may cause sleep difficulty for some people.
