My Dear Health Enthusiasts,
Welcome to Shilajoy! If this is your first time trying Shilajit Resin, you've come to the right place. You've got your hands on some high-quality Shilajit resin. It's a sticky, dark, and powerful substance that’s been revered for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine. But now what? You want to make sure you're getting the most out of every dose, and that means storing it correctly.
Proper storage is the secret to maintaining your Shilajit resin's potency and extending its shelf life. Let's dive into the simple, yet crucial, best practices for keeping your Shilajit fresh and effective for the long haul.
The Dos of Shilajit Storage 101
What's the ideal spot?
Think of your Shilajit resin like a fine wine - it doesn't like extreme temperatures. The best storage spot is a cool, dark place, away from any direct sunlight or heat sources. This helps it maintain its thick, tar-like consistency.
Tighten cap between each use
Moisture and air are the enemies of Shilajit resin. Always keep your resin in its original glass jar. This prevents moisture from getting in and keeps the resin from drying out and losing its beneficial properties. Cap tight? Run under tepid water to loosen any residue.
Can it be Refrigerated?
While storing Shilajit resin in the fridge will keep it firm and easy to handle, it's not necessary. If you live in a hot or humid climate, where the resin might become too soft and sticky, fridge storage is a great idea - but don't freeze it.
Perfect dosing
When you’re ready to take your dose, use the enclosed spoon. You'll see easy to read measurements for the perfect daily dose. You can take your shilajit directly from the spoon, or mix with any warm (but not boiling) liquid. Oh...and don't mix it in an alcoholic or carbonated beverate.
The Don'ts of Shilajit Resin Storage
Don't Leave It Exposed to Air
Leaving the lid off your Shilajit container is a big no-no. Exposure to air can cause the resin to harden and become difficult to use.
Don't Store It in a Humid Environment
A humid bathroom or a spot near a steamy kitchen isn’t the right place for your Shilajit. Excess moisture can make the resin gooey and even lead to the growth of mold.
Don't Store in Direct Sunlight or Near Heat
Just like it can get too soft from humidity, direct heat or sunlight will cause your Shilajit to melt and degrade, diminishing its potency. Always keep it in a cupboard or drawer.
! The storage life of Shilajit resin is about 2 years. Impressive, right? By following these simple storage tips, you can ensure that your Shilajit resin remains as fresh and potent as the day it was harvested from the mountains.
