Though the right dosage of Shilajit to be taken per day is not yet established, there is a recommended daily amount of metals that is considered safe according to US Department of Health and California Prop 65. In accordance with the stipulated amount, you should take approximately 250 milligrams of Shilajit resin per serving. However, the rules are not enforced by the FDA as many grocery foods do not follow them. In addition, veggies and fruits are exempted from these regulations since they cannot pass them. Regarding how often you should take Shilajit, we recommend taking it once or twice per day for about 4-5 days in a week. We also suggest rotating it and taking a 4-month break after every month.

In some cases such as internal problems or bone injury, you may take Shilajit 2 to 3 times daily and 7 days per week, but its use should not exceed 30 days straight as well. We suggest cycle usage because the body's immune system may reduce the potency of Shilajit resin if it’s taken excessively, which is also true for many herbal supplements. Moreover, there is no need to take Shilajit if you are hale and healthy or don't practice any mental or physical workout. Shilajit resin is traditionally used to accelerate recovery from different health issues and usually only by old people, sherpas, and yogis.
