Usage Guide
A simple guide to taking Shilajit resin and drops safely, and who should check with a doctor first.
Once daily
One serving a day. More is not better.
Warm, not hot
Never use boiling water, it can break down the resin.
Start small
Begin with a smaller amount to see how you feel.
Be consistent
Regular use matters more than the exact time of day.
Resin
Resin is the traditional, concentrated format. It takes about a minute to prepare.
1
Use a clean, dry spoon to take a small, pea-sized amount (about [500mg]) from the jar. Start with a smaller amount for the first few days.
2
Heat about a cup of water or milk until warm. It should be comfortable to drink, not boiling.
3
Add the resin and stir for 30 to 60 seconds until it dissolves into a dark, clear liquid.
4
Drink it once a day. Many people take it in the morning, but choose a time you can keep up.
5
Close the jar tightly straight away and store it in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
