You can consume the pure Himalayan shilajit by adding 500 mg of the substance to a glass of fluid of your choice (milk, juice, water, etc.) and gulp it on an empty stomach. But it is preferred to start cautiously and hence should be taken after having breakfast. Morning times are the ideal period for the full prowess of the Shilajit to unleash. Also since taking it at night can disrupt the sleep routine due to its energizing effects. It can be taken daily but be sure to consult your doctor for any health-related outcomes and conditions.  The source material of Shilajit is very organically obtained and hence, the consumer doesn't have to worry about any kinds of debasements. It can be stored at room temperature if it is regularly used by the consumer. The effects of Shilajit are still unexplored but are to aid in human health and well-being.
