Yeah I've seen a few negative ones. We're all different in our chemistry so not everyone will respond the same. I also think the quality of the product and sourcing matter. Plus, what people combine it with.

gabaergic and dopaminergic feeling. The trace minerals helped me get rid of my allergies. Very underrated

Precisely, that surprises me. Because it is supposed to be a nourishing substance. Neutral. Nourishes the ojas in ayurvedic terms. Rebuilds jing in TCM terms. Effects should be very subtle but gradual. Maybe people ODed it. Let's see.

Interesting. What brand and dosage?

 

[liam183]

Definitely helps me relax and focus

 

[dukesbobby777]

I didn't notice much from it. The only herb that works for me is cistanche.

 

[ecstatichamster]

Causes me heartburn.

How concerning is the heavy metal content in shilajit? I think Ray said something about it being an issue but I'm sure some brands are better then others.

 

[davidgraham]

Surely depends who your asking? Ask matt Blackburn or one of his affiliates then the product is amazing. Ask a random you get honest reviews

Indian shilajit contains the most heavy metals. I use a brand that checks and has very low heavy metals, at least according to their COA (whatever that's worth).

Oh ok, I was thinking of trying lost empire herbs but not sure if it's indian sourced

Not sure either, but I think they have a COA for their products.

Are you happy with that brand? What effects do you notice?

I'm a fan of this combo, low shilajit content compared to the article however, I like to stay modest in consumption of shilajit and I think the traditional pairing with milk is a good idea.

Even though the supplement I use is not in the resin form that's what I usually prefer as you can do some simple tests on it to confirm it's good shilajit (besides COA), outlined here (I don't know or endorse the supplement the article sells, info only) [Guide] How To Identify Original Shilajit + Easy Purity Tests at Home

I use the SA brand I liked and very happy with it yes. I feel it potentiates my resistance training results.

I think shilajit goes well with other mitochondrial "boosters" so to speak such as PQQ (as per the supp you linked), CoQ10, some form of NAD precursor, quinones, etc. Should greatly help to potentiate the redox state, ATP production and power output during exercise/sport.

Mind sharing the link? Can't find anything on google by SA shilajit.
