Welcome to IndraVitals. We’re excited to introduce our premium Shilajit + Ashwagandha resin — and capsules — as a foundational offering in our upcoming herbal-wellness line. In this blog you’ll find every question answered (and more) about what Shilajit and Ashwagandha are, why we combine them in resin and capsule form, how to take them, what benefits you might expect, what to watch out for, how to choose quality, and why they matter in your wellness journey.
1. What are Shilajit and Ashwagandha?
Shilajit is a naturally occurring, mineral-rich substance found primarily in high-altitude rocks (especially in the Himalayas). Researchers describe it as a “natural phytocomplex” formed by the slow decomposition of plant material and microorganisms over centuries. HempCann Solutions+3PMC+3Cleveland Clinic+3
It is rich in fulvic acid, humic substances, trace minerals and antioxidants. PMC
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is an adaptogenic herb used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years. It supports stress response, hormonal balance, cognitive clarity, and vitality. Dr Vaidya's+1
When used together, they form a powerful combination addressing both physical vitality (via Shilajit) and mental / stress-adaptation support (via Ashwagandha). afdil.com+1
2. Why combine Shilajit + Ashwagandha resin (and capsules)?
-
To deliver a synergistic effect: Shilajit enhances energy, endurance, mitochondrial function, trace minerals; Ashwagandha aids stress-adaptation, hormonal balance, calmness. Together you get broader support. My Pahadi Dukan+1
-
To offer versatility of form: Some users prefer resin (traditional form, potent, rapid absorption) while others prefer capsules (convenience, dosing accuracy).
-
To position IndraVitals as more than “just one product” — launching a full herbal-wellness line. This combination sets the tone for high-quality, full-spectrum formulations.
3. What is resin form, and how is it different from capsules/powder?
Resin form of Shilajit (and blends with Ashwagandha) is the more traditional/pure form: a thick, tar- or pitch-like substance that can be dissolved (e.g., in warm water or milk) and consumed. Many sources describe resin as highly bioavailable and potent. Verywell Health+1
Capsules or powdered extracts are more modern, convenient formats. The advantages: easier to dose, tasteless (or less taste), portable. The trade-offs: may have added fillers, might be slightly less “pure” traditional form, may lose some nuance of full-spectrum resin.
At IndraVitals, we will offer both formats: the resin for the “premium traditional” users, and capsules for convenience, travel, and everyday use.
4. What are the key benefits of Shilajit?
Here are some of the most-reported benefits, with notes on the evidence:
-
Energy & stamina: Helps mitochondrial function and supports physical endurance. My Pahadi Dukan+1
-
Cognitive support / brain health: Some research shows Shilajit may protect against cognitive decline. Cleveland Clinic+1
-
Anti-aging / vitality: Rich in fulvic acid and minerals that act as antioxidants. Verywell Health+1
-
Supports male fertility/testosterone: Some small studies suggest improved sperm quality and testosterone levels. Cleveland Clinic+1
-
Immune function and circulation: Reported benefits include better iron status, bone health, and reduced inflammation. Verywell Health+1
Important note: Many of these benefits are preliminary — large-scale human trials are still limited. Cleveland Clinic+1
5. What are the key benefits of Ashwagandha?
-
Stress & anxiety reduction: It’s an adaptogen that may lower cortisol and promote calm. My Pahadi Dukan+1
-
Hormonal & thyroid balance: Studies suggest support for adrenal/thyroid health. Dr Vaidya's
-
Cognitive & sleep quality: Helps support memory, focus and restful sleep. My Pahadi Dukan
-
Physical strength & recovery: Some evidence it may support muscle strength and recovery (especially when combined with exercise). My Pahadi Dukan
6. What about taking them together — is it safe and effective?
Yes — combining Shilajit and Ashwagandha can be highly effective and complementary: one supports physical vitality, the other mental/hormonal balance. Articles suggest this combo offers a “dynamic duo” effect. afdil.com+1
However: you should ensure both products are high quality, purified, from trusted sources, and you should consult a healthcare provider if you have underlying medical conditions or are taking other medications.
7. How to choose a high-quality Shilajit & Ashwagandha product? (What to look for)
For Shilajit:
-
Authentic sourcing (e.g., Himalayan or verified mineral-rich region).
-
Purification & third-party testing (to remove heavy metals, contaminants). Cleveland Clinic+1
-
Fulvic acid content and broad spectrum of trace minerals (some sources recommend high fulvic acid %). My Pahadi Dukan
-
Clear manufacturing practices (resin vs raw, adulteration avoidance).
For Ashwagandha:
-
High-withanolide extract (e.g., 5% + or more). My Pahadi Dukan
-
Certified organic or pesticide-free sourcing.
-
Transparent lab reports, minimal fillers.
For the combination product (resin/capsules):
-
Make sure the blend is well formulated (dosage, synergy of herbs).
-
Clear instructions for use, quality assurance.
-
Recognize that resin forms may have strong taste/texture; capsules may be more user-friendly.
8. How to use the resin and how to dose?
Resin use: Typically you take a pea-sized amount of the resin (or as directed by product) and dissolve it in warm water, warm milk, or a warm beverage. Some users mix with honey or tea for better taste. Verywell Health
Capsules/powder use: Follow the label — often one or two capsules per day with meals.
Typical timing:
-
For Shilajit (resin): Morning is often best, because it supports energy and endurance. Some sources suggest taking before workout. My Pahadi Dukan+1
-
For Ashwagandha: Evening or with dinner may be suitable if you’re seeking stress relief or improved sleep. My Pahadi Dukan
-
When combined: You may take the blend once or twice daily as directed, perhaps morning for energy + afternoon/evening for recovery.
Important: Start with the lower end of recommended dosage to assess tolerance. Always check with a healthcare provider, especially if pregnant, breastfeeding, or on medications.
9. Who should use (and who should avoid) Shilajit + Ashwagandha?
Who may benefit:
-
Adults seeking improved energy, stamina, vitality.
-
Individuals under stress looking for adaptogenic support.
-
Those interested in natural herbal support rather than synthetic stimulants.
-
Fitness-enthusiasts wanting improved recovery + stamina.
Who should be cautious / avoid:
-
Pregnant or breastfeeding women: limited data. Verywell Health+1
-
People with iron overload conditions (hemochromatosis) or abnormal iron metabolism: because Shilajit may affect iron levels. New York Post
-
People on certain medications (thyroid, hormone therapy, blood thinners) — adaptogens can interact.
-
Anyone with heavy-metal sensitivity or compromised liver/kidney: because supplement contamination is a risk. Cleveland Clinic
10. What are the potential side-effects or risks?
-
Possibility of contamination (heavy metals, microbes) if product is raw/unpurified. Cleveland Clinic
-
Shilajit side-effects reported: possible increased iron levels, stomach discomfort, dizziness, allergic reactions. Verywell Health+1
-
Ashwagandha side-effects: mild stomach upset, drowsiness, potential thyroid/hormone interactions. Dr Vaidya's
-
Because supplement industry is less regulated, product quality varies widely. It’s critical to verify third-party testing and COAs.
11. How long before results show up? What to realistically expect?
-
Some users report feeling improved energy, focus or reduced stress within days or weeks, but results vary widely.
-
Because adaptogenic and herbal products often work cumulatively, consistent use over several weeks (4–8 weeks) tends to show more noticeable changes.
-
It’s important to temper expectations: these are support products, not miracle cures. Many benefits remain under-researched. Cleveland Clinic
-
Monitor how you feel (energy, mood, sleep, recovery) and use additional lifestyle support (sleep, nutrition, exercise) for best outcome.
12. FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q: What does “resin” mean for Shilajit?
A: It means a thick, tar-like natural form of Shilajit (concentrated) that you dissolve in a liquid to ingest.
Q: Is resin better than capsule?
A: Not necessarily “better” — resin is more traditional/potent in sensory experience, capsules are more convenient. The key is quality and correct dosage.
Q: Can I take Shilajit and Ashwagandha every day?
A: Many users do. As long as you are taking a high-quality product, follow dosing instructions, and monitor how you feel. If you have health conditions, talk to your doctor.
Q: Can women take Shilajit?
A: Yes — but women should choose formulations and dosages appropriate to their health profile. Some studies focus on men (fertility/testosterone), but the broad vitality/adaptogenic benefits can apply to women too.
Q: What time of day is best?
A: For Shilajit: often morning or pre-workout. For Ashwagandha: often evening or with supper (especially if targeting sleep/stress relief). The combo product can be taken as directed.
Q: How do I know the product is safe?
A: Look for third-party testing, heavy-metal screening, organic/clean certification, transparent sourcing, and consumer reviews.
Q: Will I notice side effects immediately?
A: Usually side-effects (if any) are mild and early — e.g., slight stomach upset, taste/texture discomfort (with resin). If you notice strong effects (negative), stop use and consult a healthcare provider.
Q: Does it replace a healthy lifestyle?
A: No — herbal supplements support wellness, but do not replace good sleep, nutrition, hydration, movement, stress management.
Q: How should I store resin/capsules?
A: Store in a cool, dry place, keep the lid sealed, follow packaging instructions. Resin may need to be protected from extreme heat/humidity to maintain texture/potency.
Q: Are there dosage differences for beginners?
A: Yes — you might start with half of the recommended dose to assess tolerance, then gradually move to full dosage as per product instructions.
Q: Can I take other supplements along with this combo?
A: Possibly yes, but check for interactions (especially hormone, thyroid, adrenal, iron-modulating supplements). It’s wise to speak with your healthcare professional.
