As natural as it may be for some, Shilajit is still an enigma for most people, and commonly held myths take them further away from truth. Some myths about Shilajit are as old as the herb itself.
Let’s dive into some of the most common myths about Shilajit.
Myth 1: Shilajit is only meant for men
Truth: Shilajit can be consumed by people of all genders.
Myth 2: Shilajit should not be consumed on regular basis
Truth: Shilajit can be consumed on a regular basis, assuming it has been tested for heavy metals and other contaminants in a reputable laboratory. We recommend starting out with lower dosage and gradually working your way up.
Myth 3: Shilajit should be used in its raw form
Truth: It’s a commonly held myth that purifying Shilajit reduces its potency and nutrients and this myth is farthest from truth. In fact, unfiltered raw Shilajit can be toxic as it may contain high levels of heavy metals such as mercury, lead, arsenic and cadmium and can be extremely dangerous to consume. Before buying and consuming any Shilajit product, always make sure to check and validate third party lab certifications for presence of heavy metals and other contaminants such as bacteria and fungi.
