What the doses can and cannot tell you

  • The range studied is 200–500 mg a day. Operation Supplement Safety likewise refers to studies of up to 500 mg of extract.
  • More was not always better. In the 2019 strength trial, 500 mg a day differed from placebo but 250 mg a day did not.
  • The materials differ. Four trials used purified, processed or standardised preparations and one used resin, so a milligram in one study may not equal a milligram of another product.
  • Batches vary. Cleveland Clinic notes that shilajit composition changes with location and other factors, which makes a safe dose hard to set.

Timing

  • Three trials split the daily amount into two doses of 100 mg or 250 mg.
  • One trial gave doses after main meals. No trial tested whether food or time of day changes the effect.
  • Any advice on the best time of day is not supported by these trials.

Before choosing a dose

The US FDA notes that supplements can interact with medicines, interfere with lab tests and cause problems during surgery. Speak to a doctor first if any of those apply, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
