Shilajit Capsules
Shilajit capsules are a popular, modern alternative to traditional shilajit resin. They consist of purified shilajit—either in powdered or concentrated extract form—enclosed in a gelatin or vegetarian shell. They are primarily used as an adaptogen to boost energy, improve cognitive function, and support hormonal balance without the strong taste and messy handling of raw resin.
Key Features & Benefits
- Energy & Stamina: They contain high levels of fulvic acid and over 84 trace minerals that support mitochondrial function, helping the body produce cellular energy (ATP) more efficiently to combat fatigue.
- Cognitive Support: Shilajit is researched for its potential to inhibit the buildup of tau proteins, which is associated with age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease.
- Hormonal & Male Health: Clinical studies have indicated that daily supplementation (typically 250–500 mg) can increase total testosterone levels and improve sperm count and motility in men.
- Bone & Skin Health: For women, shilajit capsules are used to support bone mineral density, particularly in postmenopausal years, and to promote collagen synthesis for skin vitality.
Comparison: Capsules vs. Resin
Feature Shilajit Capsules Shilajit Resin Potency Lower (typically 20–50% fulvic acid) Highest (60–80% fulvic acid) Convenience High; pre-measured and travel-friendly Low; requires measuring and mixing Taste/Odor Tasteless and odorless Strong, earthy, and bitter Absorption Slower; must be broken down by digestion Fast; best when dissolved in warm liquids Usage & Dosage (2026 Standards)- Standard Dose: Most adults take 250–500 mg daily, often split into two doses.
- Best Time: Taking a capsule in the morning on an empty stomach with warm water or milk is recommended for optimal absorption and daytime energy.
- Duration: Results are gradual; it is typically taken for 3 to 6 weeks before improvements in stamina or mood are noticed.
Safety & Quality Considerations
- Purity Concerns: Unprocessed shilajit can contain toxic heavy metals like lead, mercury, and arsenic, as well as fungal contaminants. It is critical to choose capsules that are third-party lab tested with a Certificate of Analysis (COA).
- Contraindications: Avoid shilajit if you have hemochromatosis (iron overload), sickle cell anemia, or gout.
- Drug Interactions: Shilajit may lower blood sugar, so individuals on diabetes medications should monitor their levels closely
