Shilajit resin vs Shilajit tablets: Ultimate guide to get max results

Shilajit is a natural supplement highly praised on the wellness market with its imprint well pronounced on the traditional medicine system Ayurveda. The resin form of shilajit is the conventional and authentic type used since traditional times but later, with the progress of time, modernized versions were produced to make this elixir more convenient.

SHILAJIT RESIN

The shilajit extracted from the rocks of the Himalayas isn’t safe-to-eat directly as it contains impurities from the soil. Once all the heavy metals, sand and other impurities are removed, it becomes consumable. This pure form thus obtained is sold in the market as shilajit resin.

Of the crude shilajit harvested, only 10 to 12% actually is the pure resin while the rest is removable impurities. Shilajit resin is tried, tested and continuously used by the native harvesters; it’s the one praised for all the shilajit benefits.

For all the new users, the taste of shilajit resin can be overpowering. So, it’s better to look for options that can mellow down the taste; mix it in warm water, milk or any other drink of your choice. Overall, resin is the most potent form of shilajit that has been used for centuries and whose rejuvenating properties were first experienced by the native people of the Himalayas.

SHILAJIT TABLETS

The supplement brands marketing shilajit have been producing modified versions just to appeal to users’ convenience.

These versions including shilajit tablet are best for consumers who:

• Aren’t okay with handling the sticky resin
• Find the taste of the resin quite hard to swallow
• Mess up the dosing when it comes to resin

These thoughtful, compact shilajit pills are perfect for those who want to adhere to a supplement routine despite a busy schedule. They can carry the tablets wherever they want with them.

SHILAJIT RESIN vs TABLETS

Formation:

• Raw and the most natural one- the resin form doesn't have actual processing except purification. This all-natural content makes it the most potent form of shilajit you can get your hands on.
• The main raw ingredient to prepare the shilajit tablet is the resin itself which needs to be first dried and then powdered. The additional step here is to achieve the desired structure of the tablet; which is done by adding fillers/ binders.

Composition:

• Resin is the purest form with all the beneficial compounds, 60 to 80% of fulvic acid, 85+ minerals, more bioactive compounds and whatnot!
• Tablets' composition is the same as that of resin except they can contain fillers and binders such as cellulose and flour. These additions help in making the structure of the tablets stable.

Flavor and Smell:

• Resin has cow’s urine-like smell, tastes strong and bitter with earthy hints.
• Tablet tastes milder than resin and has no strong smell.

Uses:

• Resin's use is timeless; generations of people added it to their regimen and it’s still in hype. Back in those days, people consumed it just to feel energetic to do their work in rugged terrains. Not only that, they also used it on the sites of wounds and joint stiffness just to know the pain faded away a few days later.
• The tablet is convenient for use. This portable form is for modern people who don’t prefer the hassle that comes with consuming resin. Just consume a tablet and you are done with the dose, as easy as that!
  

HEALTH BENEFITS OF SHILAJIT RESIN/ TABLETS

Both shilajit resin and tablets, when consumed in the recommended dose have the following health benefits: 

• Energizing
• No mental fog
• No DOMS
• Anti-aging properties

WAYS TO CONSUME

RESIN:

1. Mix with lukewarm water/ or any other drinks. (As little as a pea-sized amount is enough dose).

However, if the strong taste doesn’t bother you, consume it whole. Put the pea-sized amount under your tongue.

TABLETS:

1. Direct like any other supplements. Eat the tablet and swallow with water or any other drink.

Precautions While Consuming

• Don't overdose: A small amount of shilajit is enough amount to fully rejuvenate you. So, there's no need to overdo it. Going beyond the proper dose doesn't mean you’d get the benefits at a faster rate, rather, it can overstimulate you and your body system.

• In summer: As shilajit is meant to stimulate the digestive fire, Agni, in Ayurveda, it's better to limit the shilajit dose in summer. This way, you reduce the chances of feeling overheated.

• Hydration: When you're consuming shilajit for a good period of time, it's common to have a frequent urge to pee when shilajit makes its entry into your regimen. So, to maintain the fluid balance this diuretic might affect, always incorporate enough amount of water in your daily diet.
